Nuxt full-stack Vue framework with SSR, auto-imports, and file-based routing. Use when working with Nuxt apps, server routes, useFetch, middleware, or hybrid rendering.

Nuxt is a full stack Vue framework that provides server side rendering, file based routing, auto imports, and a powerful module system. It uses Nitro as its server engine for universal deployment across Node.js, serverless, and edge platforms. The skill is based on Nuxt 4.x, generated at 2026 06 22. Nuxt 4 note: the default srcDir is app/ — Vue app code ( app.vue , components/ , composables/ , pages/ , etc.) lives under app/ , while server/ , shared/ , public/ , modules/ , layers/ and nuxt.config.ts stay at the project root. The ~ / @ aliases now point at app/ ; use ~~ / @@ for the root.
