Make Content Editable

Convert hardcoded Vue components found in a markdown file into slot-based, Nuxt Studio-editable MDC components.

Goal

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.


Step 0 — Select file and components

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.


Step 1 — Read and analyse the component

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):

ElementBecomes
Hardcoded text (headings, labels, paragraphs)Named slot
Repeated items (cards, tabs)Child component with its own slots
Icon name, URL, booleanProp
Color/variant differing between siblingscolor 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.


Step 2 — Design the component tree

Name components generically (reusable across pages, not tied to a specific page):

  • One parent section (HomeHero, LandingFeatures)
  • One collection wrapper for repeated items (FeatureList)
  • One item component per repeated element (FeatureCard)
  • One component per interactive sub-section (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.


Step 3 — Create the Vue components

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.


Step 4 — Update the MDC in the markdown file

Replace each component usage. See references/mdc-syntax.md for colon depth, indentation, and parse error reference.

Key rules:

  • Slots appear in visual DOM order (top to bottom)
  • Plain-text slots (#headline, #title, #description) before slots containing nested components (#body, #footer)
  • Short config → inline props {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 errors

Step 5 — Verify visual parity

Compare every element against the original:

  • Same section padding and container width
  • Same heading text, size, weight
  • Same description text and size
  • Same badge/headline label and icon
  • Same interactive controls with same labels and icons
  • Same code snippets verbatim
  • Same number of cards/items in same order
  • Same icon and color per card/item (check ALL siblings — colors often differ)
  • Content sections not text-centered if the original wasn't

Fix any discrepancy before moving to the next component.


Step 6 — Update memory

After all components are converted, save any new patterns or edge cases to the project memory file.
