Search

Use skilld search instead of grepping .skilld/ directories — hybrid semantic + keyword search across all indexed docs, issues, and releases. If skilld is unavailable, use npx -y skilld search.

skilld search "query" -p @nuxt/ui
skilld search "issues:error handling" -p @nuxt/ui
skilld search "releases:deprecated" -p @nuxt/ui

Filters: docs:, issues:, releases: prefix narrows by source type.

Best Practices

• Wrap your app with UApp to enable global configuration, toast/tooltip providers, and programmatic modal/slideover support — this is required for useOverlay and useToast to work source

• Use the ui prop to override component slots instead of repeating class props — it respects Tailwind Variants merging and compound variants, ensuring consistent precedence source

• Use the Theme component to apply consistent styling across groups of child components — enables scoped theme overrides without modifying each component individually and nesting is supported with innermost taking precedence source

• Define semantic colors in @theme CSS with the --color-* syntax rather than runtime config — makes themes portable and performant source

• Use Form with Standard Schema (Valibot, Zod, Regle, Yup, Joi, Superstruct) for validation — pair with FormField and validation automatically propagates based on field name with dot notation support for nested objects source

• Use nested Form components to validate complex form structures — nested forms inherit parent state and validating the parent automatically validates all children source

• Use useOverlay with overlay.create() and shared composable pattern for programmatic modal/slideover management — enables awaiting overlay.open() to return user input via close event emission source
