nitro
Nitro is the framework-agnostic server toolkit (powering Nuxt) for building and deploying web servers anywhere. Use when working with nitro.config, server routes/event handlers, route rules, caching, storage, tasks, websockets, or deploying to Node/Bun/Deno/Cloudflare/Vercel.
npx skills add antfu/skills --skill nitro --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
> The skill is based on Nitro v3 (beta), generated at 2026-06-22. Nitro is a framework-agnostic, deployment-agnostic server toolkit powered by [H3](https://h3.dev) v2, [unstorage](https://unstorage.unjs.io), and Vite/Rolldown/Rollup. It powers Nuxt and works standalone. From one codebase it builds optimized output for Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, and more. Key capabilities: - **Filesystem routing** with H3 v2 event handlers, dynamic params, and method suffixes. - **Route rules** for declarative caching, headers, redirects, proxying, and auth. - **Caching** layer (cached handlers/functions, SWR) on top of **unstorage** KV. - **Runtime config** overridable via `NITRO_*` env vars. - **Tasks** (on-demand + scheduled/cron), **WebSockets**/SSE, a SQL **database** layer, and **OpenAPI** auto-docs. - **Plugins & lifecycle hooks**, custom **renderer**/**server entry**, and portable **deployment presets**. > Nitro v3 renamed the package `nitropack` → `nitro` and adopts H3 v2 (web-standard `Request`/`Response`). If unsure about v2-vs-v3 APIs, read [advanced-migration](references/advanced-migration.md) first. ## Core | Topic | Description | Reference | |-------|------------

What does the nitro skill do?
Nitro is the framework-agnostic server toolkit (powering Nuxt) for building and deploying web servers anywhere. Use when working with nitro.config, server routes/event handlers, route rules, caching, storage, tasks, websockets, or deploying to Node/Bun/Deno/Cloudflare/Vercel.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add antfu/skills --skill nitro --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From antfu/skills, a repository with 5,709 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
