Nuxt Content v3

Progressive guidance for content-driven Nuxt apps with typed collections and SQL-backed queries.

When to Use

Working with:

Content collections (content.config.ts, defineCollection)
Remote sources (GitHub repos, external APIs via defineCollectionSource)
Content queries (queryCollection, navigation, search)
MDC rendering (<ContentRenderer>, prose components)
Database configuration (SQLite, PostgreSQL, D1, LibSQL)
Content hooks (content:file:beforeParse, content:file:afterParse)
i18n multi-language content
NuxtStudio or preview mode
LLMs integration (nuxt-llms)

For writing documentation: use document-writer skill For Nuxt basics: use nuxt skill For NuxtHub deployment: use nuxthub skill (NuxtHub v1 compatible)

Available Guidance

Read specific files based on current work:

references/collections.md - defineCollection, schemas, sources, content.config.ts
references/querying.md - queryCollection, navigation, search, surroundings
references/rendering.md - ContentRenderer, MDC syntax, prose components, Shiki
references/config.md - Database setup, markdown plugins, renderer options
references/studio.md - NuxtStudio integration, preview mode, live editing

Usage Pattern

Progressive loading - only read what you need:

Setting up collections? → references/collections.md
Querying content? → references/querying.md
Rendering markdown/MDC? → references/rendering.md
Configuring database/markdown? → references/config.md
Using NuxtStudio? → references/studio.md

DO NOT read all files at once. Load based on context:

Editing content.config.ts → read collections.md
Using queryCollection() → read querying.md
Working with <ContentRenderer> or MDC → read rendering.md
Configuring database or markdown → read config.md
Setting up preview/studio → read studio.md

Key Concepts

| Concept | Purpose | | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Collections | Typed content groups with schemas | | Page vs Data | page = routes + body, data = structured data only | | Remote sources | source.repository for GitHub, defineCollectionSource for APIs | | queryCollection | SQL-like fluent API for content | | MDC | Vue components inside markdown | | ContentRenderer | Renders parsed markdown body |
