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

Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

• references/collections.md - if setting up collections, schemas, or content.config.ts
• references/querying.md - if using queryCollection, navigation, or search
• references/rendering.md - if rendering markdown/MDC or working with ContentRenderer
• references/config.md - if configuring database, markdown plugins, or renderer options
• references/studio.md - if integrating NuxtStudio or preview mode

DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.

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
