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

1. 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.

2. Composition API Only: Use <script setup> syntax exclusively.
3. 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

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

Phase 2: Components

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

Phase 3: Integration

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

Phase 4: Verify

1. Test across browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
2. 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:

1. Phase 1 MUST be RED (Tests First)
2. Use npm run check after every phase (tests + linters)
3. 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:

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

Forbidden: Untracked TODOs, undocumented hardcoded values.

Git Protocol (Hard Stop)

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

1. Branch: Work in feat/<name> or fix/<name>. Never commit directly to main.
2. Commit: Use Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, chore:).
3. 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

References

See references/ for detailed guides:

• security-checklist.md — XSS, CSRF, tokens
• performance-guide.md — Lazy loading, Core Web Vitals
• accessibility-guide.md — ARIA, keyboard, contrast

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:

1. Save final document to project/docs/ path
2. Change file status from Draft to Approved in header/frontmatter
3. Update project/docs/ARTIFACT_REGISTRY.md status to ✅ Done
4. Use notify_user for final approval
5. 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.
