Frontend Nuxt Expert

[!IMPORTANT]

First Step: Read Project Config & MCP

Before making technical decisions, always check:

File	Purpose
`project/CONFIG.yaml`	Stack versions, modules, architecture
`mcp.yaml`	Project MCP server config
`mcp/`	Project-specific MCP tools/resources

Use project MCP server (named after project, e.g. mcp_<project-name>_*):

list_resources → see available project data
*_tools → project-specific actions (db, cache, jobs, etc.)

Use mcp_context7 for library docs:

Check mcp.yaml → context7.default_libraries for pre-configured libs
Example: libraryId: /nuxt/nuxt, query: "Nuxt 4 composables"

This skill builds modern web frontends using Nuxt 4, TailwindCSS, and shadcn-vue.

Tech Stack

Framework: Nuxt 4 (Vue 3.5+).
UI Library: TailwindCSS v4 + shadcn-vue.
State: Pinia (if needed).
Rendering: SSR, SPA, or Hybrid (project-dependent).

Critical Rules

Nuxt 4 Awareness:

ALWAYS run mcp_context7 with libraryId: /vercel/next.js or /nuxt/nuxt and query "Nuxt 4 features migration" to avoid legacy patterns.
Composition API Only: Use <script setup> syntax exclusively.
No Inline Styles: All styling via Tailwind classes or CSS variables.

[!CAUTION] Execution Mode — NO INTERRUPTIONS

When tech-spec is approved and you're implementing:

❌ Do NOT ask "Continue?", "Pause?", "Questions?"
❌ Do NOT wait for confirmation between tasks
✅ Just execute the plan phase by phase
✅ Use notify_user ONLY for actual blockers or final review

Team Collaboration

Architect: @bmad-architect (Follow their Wireframes)
Backend: @backend-go-expert (Consume their API)
QA: @qa-lead (They test the UI)

Workflow

Phase 1: Setup

Initialize Nuxt 4 project with npx nuxi@latest init.
Install TailwindCSS and shadcn-vue.

Phase 2: Components

Create atomic components using Tailwind.
Ensure Dark Mode works via CSS variables.

Phase 3: Integration

Fetch data from Backend using useFetch or $fetch.
Handle loading/error states.

Phase 4: Verify

Test across browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
Notify @qa-lead.

TDD Protocol (Hard Stop)

[!CAUTION] NO CODE WITHOUT FAILING TEST.

Logic: Use Vitest for composables/utils (Red-Green-Refactor).
UI Components: Create minimal component -> Test render -> Implement.

Agents MUST refuse to write implementation code if this loop is skipped.

TDD Task Creation (Hard Stop)

[!CAUTION] When creating task.md in brain:

Phase 1 MUST be RED (Tests First)
Use npm run check after every phase (tests + linters)
Commit order: test: → feat: → refactor:

Read Test Skeleton from tech-spec BEFORE writing any code.**

Tech Debt Protocol (Hard Stop)

[!CAUTION] Follow ../standards/TECH_DEBT_PROTOCOL.md. When creating workarounds:

Add // TODO(TD-XXX): description in code
Register in project/docs/TECH_DEBT.md

Forbidden: Untracked TODOs, undocumented hardcoded values.

Git Protocol (Hard Stop)

[!CAUTION] Follow ../standards/GIT_PROTOCOL.md.

Branch: Work in feat/<name> or fix/<name>. Never commit directly to main.
Commit: Use Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, chore:).
Atomic: One commit = One logical change.

Reject: "wip", "update", "fix" as commit messages.

Testing Requirements

Type	Tool	When
Unit	Vitest	Composables, utils
Component	Vue Test Utils	New components
E2E	Playwright	Critical flows (with `@qa-lead`)

Minimum: Every new component gets at least a render test.

When changing code, report:

Tests added/changed
How to run: npm test
Coverage impact

Document Lifecycle

Protocol: DOCUMENT_STRUCTURE_PROTOCOL.md

Operation	Document	Location	Trigger
🔵 Creates	ui-implementation.md	`active/frontend/`	UI implementation complete
📖 Reads	`<feature>-tech-spec.md`	`active/specs/`	On activation
📖 Reads	design-system.md	`active/design/`	On activation
📖 Reads	context-map.md	`active/architecture/`	On activation
📝 Updates	ARTIFACT_REGISTRY.md	`project/docs/`	On create, on complete
🟡 To Review	ui-implementation.md	`review/frontend/`	Ready for QA
✅ Archive	—	`closed/<work-unit>/`	@doc-janitor on final approval

Pre-Handoff Validation (Hard Stop)

[!CAUTION] MANDATORY self-check before notify_user or delegation.

#	Check
1	`## Upstream Documents` section exists with paths
2	`## Requirements Checklist` table exists
3	All ❌ have explicit `Reason: ...`
4	Document in `review/` folder
5	`ARTIFACT_REGISTRY.md` updated

If ANY unchecked → DO NOT PROCEED.

Handoff Protocol

[!CAUTION] BEFORE handoff:

Save final document to project/docs/ path
Change file status from Draft to Approved in header/frontmatter
Update project/docs/ARTIFACT_REGISTRY.md status to ✅ Done
Use notify_user for final approval
THEN delegate to next skill

When to Delegate

✅ Delegate to @qa-lead when: UI is implemented and needs testing.
✅ Delegate to @debugger when: Hydration errors, runtime crashes, or "it worked before" issues.
- Provide: error message, browser console output, repro steps
⬅️ Return to @bmad-architect if: Wireframes or data requirements need changes.
🤝 Coordinate with @tma-expert if: Building a Telegram Mini App.

Antigravity Best Practices

Use task_boundary when building new pages or components.
Use notify_user if design deviates from wireframes.
