Rules for structuring Vue 3 components so humans can read and maintain them. Component level hierarchy (Page/Feature/Controller/Humble/Atomic), composable lifecycle cohesion, Core-Adapter separation, props drilling resolution, and store responsibility boundaries. Use when writing, splitting, or refactoring Vue components.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 36
A composable is a lifecycle unit: keep a related ref, its watcher and its cleanup together
- Distinctive: line 38
No props drilling beyond one level: use provide/inject or a store
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Vue Clean Components
Rules for writing Vue 3 components that are easy for humans to read and maintain. Based on Michael Thiessen's Clean Components Toolkit and the toss.tech Core-Adapter pattern.
When to Use
- Writing or refactoring Vue components
- A component exceeds 150 lines
- Props exceed 5 or include 3+ handler functions
- A composable exceeds 200 lines or mixes unrelated lifecycle concerns
- A store mixes UI state with business state
- User requests "component split", "refactor", or "readability improvement"
Quick Reference
| Working on... | Load file |
| Deciding component level | references/component-levels.md |
| When/how to split | references/split-decision-tree.md |

| Props drilling fix | references/props-resolution.md |
| Store boundaries | references/store-boundary.md |
| Boilerplate extraction | references/boilerplate-extraction.md |
Key Principles
- Every component has a level (L0-Page → L4-Atomic) with strict responsibility boundaries
- A composable is a lifecycle unit: keep a related ref, its watcher and its cleanup together
- Core-Adapter separation: business logic in plain TypeScript, Vue reactivity in thin composables
- No props drilling beyond one level: use provide/inject or a store
- Stores hold only shared business state: UI-only state stays in components
- Extract boilerplate after three repetitions, not before
Pattern Sources
| Rule | Source |
| Level Hierarchy | Controller + Humble Components (Thiessen) |
| Split Decision | Long Components + Hidden Components (Thiessen) |
| Core-Adapter | Thin Composables (Thiessen) + Framework Agnostic (toss.tech) |
| Lifecycle Cohesion | React Custom Hooks principle |
| Props Resolution | Props Down Events Up + Preserve Whole Object (Thiessen) |
| Store Boundary | Data Store + Lightweight State Management (Thiessen) |
| Conditional Split | Extract Conditional + Strategy (Thiessen) |
| Loop Split | List Component + Item Component (Thiessen) |
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
