Coding-agent prompt

You're working with Nuxt. The Next.js of Vue — SSR, routing, and modules out of the box.

Best practices:
- Lean on: vue + ssr done right
- Lean on: nitro server engine
- Lean on: modules ecosystem

Things to watch for:
- Watch out for: smaller community than next
- Watch out for: opinionated conventions

General guidance:
- Canonical docs: https://nuxt.com — check here before inventing APIs.
- Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them.
- Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function.
- Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done.
- Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
