Nuxt Studio

Self-hosted, open-source CMS module for editing Nuxt Content websites in production.

When to Use

Working with:

• Installing and configuring nuxt-studio module
• Authentication providers (GitHub, GitLab, Google OAuth, SSO, custom)
• Git provider setup (GitHub, GitLab, branch config)
• Visual content editing (MDC components, YAML/JSON forms, frontmatter)
• Media management (public dir, NuxtHub blob, S3, R2)
• Publishing flow (draft layer, conflict detection, CI/CD rebuild)
• AI-powered content assistance (Vercel AI Gateway)

For content collections/queries: use nuxt-content skill For NuxtHub storage/database: use nuxthub skill For Nuxt basics: use nuxt skill

Available Guidance

Read specific files based on current work:

• references/configuration.md - Module setup, auth providers, Git providers, environment variables
• references/live-editing.md - Visual editor, media management, MDC components, AI features
• references/deployment.md - SSR requirements, Git publishing, branch strategies, CI/CD

Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

• references/configuration.md - if installing, configuring auth/git providers, or setting env vars
• references/live-editing.md - if working with content editor, media, components, or AI features
• references/deployment.md - if deploying, configuring branches, or troubleshooting publish flow

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