vue
Vue 3 Composition API, script setup macros, reactivity system, and built-in components. Use when writing Vue SFCs, defineProps/defineEmits/defineModel, watchers, or using Transition/Teleport/Suspense/KeepAlive.
What this skill does
# Vue
> Based on Vue 3.5. Always use Composition API with `<script setup lang="ts">`.
## Preferences
- Prefer TypeScript over JavaScript
- Prefer `<script setup lang="ts">` over `<script>`
- For performance, prefer `shallowRef` over `ref` if deep reactivity is not needed
- Always use Composition API over Options API
- Discourage using Reactive Props Destructure

## Quick Reference
### Component Template
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref, computed, watch, onMounted } from 'vue'
const props = defineProps<{
title: string
count?: number
}>()
const emit = defineEmits<{
update: [value: string]
}>()
const model = defineModel<string>()
const doubled = computed(() => (props.count ?? 0) * 2)
watch(() => props.title, (newVal) => {
console.log('Title changed:', newVal)
})
onMounted(() => {
console.log('Component mounted')
})
</script>
<template>
<div>{{ title }} - {{ doubled }}</div>
</template>
```
### Key Imports
```ts
// Reactivity
import { ref, shallowRef, computed, reactive, readonly, toRef, toRefs, toValue } from 'vue'
// Watchers
import { watch, watchEffect, watchPostEffect, onWatcherCleanup } from 'vue'
// Lifecycle
import { onMounted, onUpdated, onUnmounted, onBeforeMount, onBeforeUpdate, onBeforeUnmount } from 'vue'
// Utilities
import { nextTick, defineComponent, defineAsyncComponent } from 'vue'

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.

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.

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.
