Vue.js Options API best practices, TypeScript integration, and common gotchas.
TypeScript
- Need to enable TypeScript type inference for component properties → See ts-options-api-use-definecomponent
- Enabling type safety for Options API this context → See ts-strict-mode-options-api
- Using old TypeScript versions with prop validators → See ts-options-api-arrow-functions-validators
- Event handler parameters need proper type safety → See ts-options-api-type-event-handlers
- Need to type object or array props with interfaces → See ts-options-api-proptype-complex-types
- Injected properties missing TypeScript types completely → See ts-options-api-provide-inject-limitations
- Complex computed properties lack clear type documentation → See ts-options-api-computed-return-types
Methods & Lifecycle
- Methods aren't binding to component instance context → See no-arrow-functions-in-methods
- Lifecycle hooks losing access to component data → See no-arrow-functions-in-lifecycle-hooks
- Debounced functions sharing state across component instances → See stateful-methods-lifecycle

antfu/skills6kVue
SkillReference for Vue 3.5: script setup and macros such as defineProps, defineEmits and defineModel, reactivity, watchers and lifecycle, and built-ins like Transition, Teleport, Suspense and KeepAlive. Prefers the Composition API with TypeScript. Generated by Anthony Fu from the official docs.
antfu/skills6kCreate Adaptable Composable
SkillGuides the agent in writing library-grade Vue composables whose inputs accept a plain value, ref or getter: choose MaybeRefOrGetter or MaybeRef depending on whether the input is read-only or writable, and normalize with toValue() and toRef() inside watchers. Requires Vue 3 or Nuxt 3+.
vuejs-ai/skills2.9kVue Best Practices
SkillDefault workflow for Vue work: standardizes on Vue 3, the Composition API and script setup with TypeScript, reads core references on reactivity, SFCs, data flow and composables, plans component boundaries first, loads topics like slots, transitions and performance only when needed, then self-checks.
vuejs-ai/skills2.9kVite
SkillReference for Vite 8: vite.config.ts, features like import.meta.glob and asset queries, the plugin API, library mode and SSR, the Environment API, and migrating to the Rolldown bundler and Oxc transformer. Prefers TypeScript config and ESM. Generated by Anthony Fu from the official docs.
