vue-development-guides
Best practices and architectural patterns for Vue 3 and Nuxt 3 projects.
- Emphasizes core principles: predictable state with single source of truth, explicit data flow (props down, events up), and small focused components
- Requires Composition API with
<script setup lang="ts">as the default, and mandates following referenced guides for reactivity, SFC structure, and data flow patterns - Includes a tasks checklist covering core principles, reactivity best practices, component design, and data flow validation
- Recommends splitting components when they exceed one clear responsibility, moving state and side effects into composables, and organizing SFC sections in a consistent order
Vue.js Development Guides
Tasks Checklist
- Followed the core principles
- Followed the defaults unless there is a good reason not to
- Followed the reactivity best practices
- Followed the component best practices
- Followed the Vue SFC best practices
- Kept components focused
- Split large components into smaller ones when needed
- Moved state/side effects into composables if applicable
- Followed data flow best practices
Core Principles
- Keep state predictable: one source of truth, derive everything else.
- Make data flow explicit: Props down, Events up for most cases.

MUST be used for Vue.js tasks. Strongly recommends Composition API with `<script setup>` and TypeScript as the standard approach. Covers Vue 3, SSR, Volar, vue-tsc. Load for any Vue, .vue files, Vue Router, Pinia, or Vite with Vue work. ALWAYS use Composition API unless the project explicitly requires Options API.

6.0Kcreate-adaptable-composable
Create a library-grade Vue composable that accepts maybe-reactive inputs (MaybeRef / MaybeRefOrGetter) so callers can pass a plain value, ref, or getter. Normalize inputs with toValue()/toRef() inside reactive effects (watch/watchEffect) to keep behavior predictable and reactive. Use this skill when user asks for creating adaptable or reusable composables.
