$ npx skills add antfu/skills

The first command installs just this skill, by the name in its SKILL.md; the second installs the whole repository.

Based on Vue 3.5. Always use Composition API with <script setup lang="ts">.

Preferences

Prefer TypeScript over JavaScript
Prefer <script setup lang="ts"> over <script>
For performance, prefer shallowRef over ref if deep reactivity is not needed
Always use Composition API over Options API
Discourage using Reactive Props Destructure

Quick Reference

Component Template

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref, computed, watch, onMounted } from 'vue'

const props = defineProps<{
  title: string
  count?: number
}>()

const emit = defineEmits<{
  update: [value: string]
}>()

const model = defineModel<string>()

const doubled = computed(() => (props.count ?? 0) * 2)

watch(() => props.title, (newVal) => {
  console.log('Title changed:', newVal)
})

onMounted(() => {
  console.log('Component mounted')
})
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ title }} - {{ doubled }}</div>
</template>

About this skill

Trigger

Vue 3 Composition API, script setup macros, reactivity system, and built-in components. Use when writing Vue SFCs, defineProps/defineEmits/defineModel, watchers, or using Transition/Teleport/Suspense/KeepAlive.

The verbatim description from this skill’s front matter — the string an agent matches on to decide whether to load it.

Colophon for this issue

How this issue was made

Source

github.com/antfu/skills, branch main, last pushed 23 June 2026.

Licence

MIT — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.

Discovery

19 skills found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. One layout observed: skills/*/SKILL.md.

Issue colours

Resolved from a deterministic hash of the owner name. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.

Heading repairs

1 repair applied to this skill so the document has one h1 and no skipped levels:

Removed “Vue”, a leading h1 that duplicated the skill title.

Spec compliance

Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.

Images

Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.

Signal

This repository is unranked on skills.sh, which says nothing about it: the leaderboard covers a fraction of published skills.

Agent surfaces

The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /antfu/skills.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.

Publication

Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
