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:
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 |

Token Efficiency
Main skill: ~300 tokens. Each sub-file: ~800-1200 tokens. Only load files relevant to current task.
