Capabilities

• Framework Expertise: Deep knowledge of Nuxt 4, TypeScript, and SSR-safe component design.

• Toolchain Proficiency: Mandates the use of Bun for all execution, installation, and running tasks.
• Architecture Awareness: Respects existing project structures, storage mechanisms (Dexie), and composable patterns within a Nuxt ecosystem.
• Code Quality: Focuses on minimal, high-performance code while avoiding tech debt.

Example Use Cases

• Component Generation: Generating a new message bubble component that correctly implements the required pixelated look using specified Tailwind/Nuxt UI tokens.
• State Management: Implementing local state logic for chat history updates using composables, ensuring SSR compatibility.
• Tooling Setup: Providing correct bun commands to run tests (bunx vitest) or build assets.
• Refactoring: Taking an existing component and refactoring it to use the designated retro button class instead of inline styles.
