nuxt is a skill by Anthony Fu, generated from the Nuxt repository's own documentation. It loads when you work on Nuxt apps, server routes, useFetch, middleware or hybrid rendering. A table in SKILL.md points the agent to 18 reference files on routing, data fetching, modules, SSR, layers and hooks.

The skill is based on Nuxt 5.x (5.0.0-0, generated 2026-09-25). It warns about the big changes: Nitro v3, server utilities imported from nuxt/server, typed and case-sensitive routes, and Node 22.19 or newer. The repo calls the project a proof of concept that is not fully tested in practice.

Good for

Vue and Nuxt developers who want agent code that follows Nuxt 5 changes
Teams migrating from Nuxt 3 or 4 who want a checklist of what moved
Module authors using Nuxt Kit and layers

Questions

What does the nuxt skill do?

It gives your agent a set of Nuxt reference pages, loaded as needed. The agent then writes routing, data fetching, server and module code the Nuxt 5 way.

How do I install it in Claude Code?

Use the install box at the top of this page. The antfu/skills README recommends its @antfu/skills pack with skills-npm for projects, and also documents installing straight from the repo with the skills CLI.

Does it work with Nuxt 3 or 4?

It is written for Nuxt 5.x (5.0.0-0). It still has a Nuxt 4 app/ layout topic, but SKILL.md warns that Nuxt 5 changes server code, routing and Node requirements, so check your version first.

Does it need an API key or network?

SKILL.md names neither. The skill is markdown files with no scripts.

Is it an official Nuxt skill?

SKILL.md names Anthony Fu as the author and says it was generated from the nuxt/nuxt repository. The antfu/skills README lists it among skills generated from official documentation and fine-tuned by Anthony, and calls the repo a proof of concept whose real-world performance he has not fully tested. We found nothing in the files saying the Nuxt team publishes it.

Is it safe?

It is reference text: the folder holds markdown files and no scripts. Your agent may still edit your Nuxt project and run commands such as nuxt dev when you ask, so review changes in git.
