Converts hardcoded Vue components in a Nuxt Content markdown file into slot-based, Studio-editable MDC components. Use when a user wants their Nuxt Content page to be visually editable in Nuxt Studio's TipTap editor.
Convert hardcoded Vue components found in a markdown file into slot-based, Nuxt Studio-editable MDC components.
Consult these files as you work through each step:
| File | When to consult |
|---|---|
references/vue-slots.md | Slot naming conventions, props vs slots, mdc-unwrap, interactive components |
references/mdc-syntax.md | Colon depth, indentation, slot ordering, parse errors |
references/nuxt-studio.md | Why slots = editable regions, v-show rule |
references/nuxt-components.md |
| Nuxt component auto-discovery, props, default/named slots |
references/nuxt-ui-components.md | UPageHero/UCard slot API, :ui overrides, text-center quirk |
references/tailwind-purging.md | Static lookup maps for color props |
Produce a 1:1 visual match of every original rendered component, with all content moved into MDC slots and props so it is editable in Nuxt Studio's TipTap editor.
0a — Pick the file: Glob content/**/*.md (also .mdoc, .markdown). Present the list via AskUserQuestion (single-select).
0b — Pick the components: Read the chosen file. Extract every component reference (block ::name and inline :name), deduplicate, find and read each Vue file. Present the list via AskUserQuestion (multiSelect: true), showing for each: name + one-line summary of whether it has hardcoded content or is already slot/prop-driven.
0c — Confirm: Single-select confirmation before any conversion begins. If the user goes back, repeat 0b.
Process each confirmed component through Steps 1–5.
Read the component file in full. If it uses Nuxt UI components, call mcp__nuxt-ui__get-component (sections: ["theme"]) and mcp__nuxt-ui__get-component-metadata to look up their slot API first.
Classify each element (see references/vue-slots.md — Slot Naming Conventions):
| Element | Becomes |
|---|---|
| Hardcoded text (headings, labels, paragraphs) | Named slot |
| Repeated items (cards, tabs) | Child component with its own slots |
| Icon name, URL, boolean | Prop |
| Color/variant differing between siblings | color prop + static lookup map |
| Interactive logic (tab switching, accordions) | Hardcoded inside component — not a slot |
Identify visual render order top-to-bottom — this is the required slot order in MDC.
Check if the project uses Nuxt UI and whether a layout component (UPageHero, UPageSection, UPageCard) already matches the visual pattern — prefer wrapping over reimplementing.
Name components generically (reusable across pages, not tied to a specific page):
HomeHero, LandingFeatures)FeatureList)FeatureCard)CodePlayground)Align slot names with the naming table in references/vue-slots.md. If wrapping Nuxt UI, match its slot API 1:1 so slots can be forwarded without renaming.
Slots: <slot name="..." mdc-unwrap="p" /> for editable text. Add mdc-unwrap="p" for slots inside headings or <p> tags. See references/vue-slots.md.
Props: defineProps for icon names, URLs, booleans, colors. Never use props for content editors need to type.
Colors: When siblings differ visually, add a color prop with a static lookup map — never build Tailwind classes dynamically. See references/tailwind-purging.md.
Nuxt UI wrapping: Forward slots via <template #slotName><slot name="slotName" /></template>. Use v-if="$slots.slotName" for optional decorative slots. Override :ui instead of adding wrapper divs to reset styles. See references/nuxt-ui-components.md.
Interactive components: Keep state inside the component. Use v-show (not v-if) so all slot content stays mounted.
Script tag: Only add <script setup> when there are props, refs, or computed values.
Replace each component usage. See references/mdc-syntax.md for colon depth, indentation, and parse error reference.
Key rules:
#headline, #title, #description) before slots containing nested components (#body, #footer){key="value"}; multiple/complex → YAML frontmatter#default works for simple single-slot components; use named slots when nested children share slot names (#title, #description) to avoid parse errorsCompare every element against the original:
Fix any discrepancy before moving to the next component.
After all components are converted, save any new patterns or edge cases to the project memory file.
