Builds and refactors Phaser 3 browser games. Use for creating a new Phaser project, adding scenes, entities, physics, UI, tilemaps, animations, input, audio, camera, or for fixing Phaser-specific bugs and performance problems.
Write, rewrite, review, and organize developer-facing documentation for web software projects. Use when creating or improving README files, docs homepages, quickstarts, tutorials, how-to guides, API/reference pages, conceptual explanations, migration guides, or troubleshooting content for frontend, backend, full-stack, SDK, API, or framework-based web products. This skill applies strong information architecture, task-first page structure, clear voice, runnable examples, version and prerequisite hygiene, accessibility rules, and docs-as-code maintenance habits. Do not use it for marketing copy, legal text, or non-technical customer-support articles.
Use when working with Nuxt Studio, the self-hosted open-source CMS for Nuxt Content sites - provides visual editing, media management, Git-based publishing, auth providers, and AI content assistance
Use when writing blog posts or documentation markdown files - provides writing style guide (active voice, present tense), content structure patterns, and MDC component usage. Overrides brevity rules for proper grammar. Use nuxt-content for MDC syntax, nuxt-ui for component props.
Use when working with Nuxt Content v3, markdown content, or CMS features in Nuxt - provides collections (local/remote/API sources), queryCollection API, MDC rendering, database configuration, NuxtStudio integration, hooks, i18n patterns, and LLMs integration
Use when working on Nuxt 4+ projects - provides server routes, file-based routing, middleware patterns, Nuxt-specific composables, and configuration with latest docs. Covers h3 v1 helpers (validation, WebSocket, SSE) and nitropack v2 patterns. Updated for Nuxt 4.3+.
