Known Issues This Skill Prevents

Issue	Why It Happens	Source	How Skill Fixes It
Collection Not Found	Collection not defined or server not restarted	GitHub Issues	Always define collections in content.config.ts
Schema Validation Failure	Incorrect date format in frontmatter	Nuxt Content Discussions	Use ISO 8601 format (2024-01-15)
D1 Binding Error	Binding name not exactly 'DB'	Cloudflare D1 Docs	Use exact binding name 'DB' (case-sensitive)
MDC Components Not Rendering	Component not in correct directory	MDC Documentation	Place in components/content/ with exact name
Database Locked	Multiple processes accessing database	GitHub Issues	Delete .nuxt directory and restart
Studio OAuth Fails	Callback URL mismatch	GitHub OAuth Docs	Match callback URL exactly with domain
Navigation Not Updating	Cache not cleared	GitHub Issues	Delete .nuxt directory when adding content
Numeric Prefix Sorting	Single-digit numbers sort alphabetically	File System Behavior	Use zero-padded prefixes (01-, 02-)

When to Use This Skill

✅ Use When:

• Building blogs, documentation sites, or content-heavy applications
• Implementing Git-based content workflows with Markdown
• Setting up type-safe content queries with TypeScript
• Deploying Nuxt Content to Cloudflare D1 or Vercel
• Configuring Nuxt Studio for production content editing
• Creating searchable content with full-text search
• Auto-generating navigation from content structure
• Validating content schemas with Zod or Valibot
• Implementing MDC components in Markdown
• Troubleshooting content collection errors

❌ Don't Use When:

• Using Nuxt Content v2 (this skill covers v3 only)
• Looking for CMS with GUI admin panel (use Nuxt Studio instead)
• Need real-time collaborative editing (Git-based, not real-time)
• Building non-Nuxt applications

---

Quick Usage Example

# 1. Install Nuxt Content
bun add @nuxt/content better-sqlite3

# 2. Register module
# Add to nuxt.config.ts: modules: ['@nuxt/content']

# 3. Create collection configuration
# Create content.config.ts with collections

# 4. Add content files
# Create content/blog/first-post.md

# 5. Query and render
# Use queryCollection() and <ContentRenderer>

Result: A fully functional Git-based CMS with type-safe queries, auto-generated navigation, and production-ready content editing.
