vue-options-api-best-practices points Claude to ten short reference notes on Vue 3 Options API problems. Seven cover TypeScript, such as using defineComponent, typing event handlers and typing injected properties. Three cover methods and lifecycle, such as arrow functions that lose this and debounced functions that share state across component instances. Every note shows the Options API solution only.

The skill bundles no scripts. The repo README says to start your prompt with use vue skill for the most reliable triggering, because the skill may not fire on its own. The README also calls the repo an early experiment whose skills may be incomplete.

Good for

  • Vue 3 developers who write components with data(), methods and computed
  • Teams adding TypeScript to Options API components
  • Anyone debugging lost this context or shared debounce state in Vue

Install vue-options-api-best-practices

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Install the vue-options-api-best-practices skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

/plugin marketplace add vuejs-ai/skills
/plugin install vue-options-api-best-practices@vue-skills

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

The README's plugin example installs vue-best-practices, and the marketplace lists vue-options-api-best-practices as its own plugin. The README's plain npx skills add vuejs-ai/skills installs the whole repo (8 skill folders). Start prompts with 'use vue skill' as the README advises.

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us. Source.

Questions

What does vue-options-api-best-practices do?

It gives Claude short reference notes for Vue 3 Options API code. They cover TypeScript typing, arrow functions in methods and lifecycle hooks, and debounced functions that share state.

How do I install vue-options-api-best-practices?

Use the install box above. The skills CLI command installs only this skill. On Claude Code you can also add it as its own plugin from the vuejs-ai marketplace.

How do I make it trigger?

The README says to start your prompt with use vue skill. Without it, triggering may be inconsistent, depending on how closely your prompt matches the skill's description.

Is it for Composition API or Options API?

Options API only. Its SKILL.md says each reference shows the Options API solution only. The README lists vue-best-practices as the skill for Composition API with TypeScript.

Does it need an API key or scripts?

It bundles no scripts and SKILL.md names no API key. The folder holds SKILL.md and 10 reference notes.

Is it safe and reliable?

The folder holds only markdown notes, so it has no script of its own to run. The README warns that the repo is an early experiment and that skills may be incomplete, so check generated code before you commit it.
