### Basic Component
Create `components/Counter.vue`:
```vue
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const props = defineProps({
start: {
type: Number,
default: 0
}
})
const count = ref(props.start)
</script>
<template>
<div class="counter">
<button @click="count--">-</button>
<span class="count">{{ count }}</span>
<button @click="count++">+</button>
</div>
</template>
<style scoped>
.counter {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
gap: 1rem;
}
button {
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
font-size: 1.5rem;
cursor: pointer;
}
.count {
font-size: 2rem;
min-width: 3rem;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
```
Usage:
```markdown
# Interactive Counter
<Counter :start="10" />
```
### Component with Slots
```vue
<!-- components/Card.vue -->
<script setup>
defineProps({
title: String,
color: {
type: String,
default: 'blue'
}
})
</script>
<template>
<div :class="`card card-${color}`">
<h3 v-if="title">{{ title }}</h3>
<slot />
</div>
</template>
<style scoped>
.card {
padding: 1.5rem;
border-radius: 0.5rem;
margin: 1rem 0;
}
.card-blue { background: #3b82f6; color: white; }
.card-green { background: #22c55e; color: white; }
.card-red { background: #ef4444; color: white; }
</style>
```
Usage:
```markdown

### Component with Slidev Context
```vue
<!-- components/ProgressBar.vue -->
<script setup>
import { computed } from 'vue'
import { useNav } from '@slidev/client'
const { currentSlideNo, total } = useNav()
const progress = computed(() =>
(currentSlideNo.value / total.value) * 100
)
</script>
<template>
<div class="progress-bar">
<div
class="progress"
:style="{ width: `${progress}%` }"
/>
</div>

<script setup>
import { ref, computed } from 'vue'
const props = defineProps({
code: String,
language: {
type: String,
default: 'javascript'
}
})
const output = ref('')
const error = ref('')
const run = () => {
try {
output.value = eval(props.code)
error.value = ''
} catch (e) {
error.value = e.message
output.value = ''
}
}
</script>
<template>
<div class="code-demo">
<pre><code>{{ code }}</code></pre>

</div>
</template>
```
## Composables
### useNav

```vue
<script setup>
import { useNav } from '@slidev/client'
const {
currentSlideNo, // Current slide number
total, // Total slides
next, // Go to next
prev, // Go to previous
go // Go to specific slide
} = useNav()
</script>
```
### useSlideContext
Access slide context:
```vue
<script setup>
import { useSlideContext } from '@slidev/client'
const {
$slidev, // Global context
$clicks, // Current click count
$page // Current page number
} = useSlideContext()
</script>
```
## Global Components
### global-top.vue

generating-lwc-components
IncludedLightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use generating-apex), Aura components, or Visualforce.
tanstack-query
IncludedManage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.
document-processor-api
IncludedProcess documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.

IncludedManage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Covers useMutationState, simplified optimistic updates, throwOnError, network mode (offline/PWA), and infiniteQueryOptions. Use when setting up data fetching, fixing v4→v5 migration errors (object syntax, gcTime, isPending, keepPreviousData), or debugging SSR/hydration issues with streaming server components.
accelint-nextjs-best-practices
IncludedNext.js performance optimization and best practices. Use when writing Next.js code (App Router or Pages Router); implementing Server Components, Server Actions, or API routes; optimizing RSC serialization, data fetching, or server-side rendering; reviewing Next.js code for performance issues; fixing authentication in Server Actions; or implementing Suspense boundaries, parallel data fetching, or request deduplication.
