Vite
Based on Vite v8.3.5 (Rolldown-powered), generated at 2026-11-05. Vite 8 uses the Rolldown bundler and the Oxc transformer instead of esbuild + Rollup.
Vite is a next-generation frontend build tool with fast dev server (native ESM + HMR) and optimized production builds.
Preferences
- Use TypeScript: prefer
vite.config.ts - Always use ESM, avoid CommonJS

Tips for Vite
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It bundles reference files. The agent reads them only when needed, so they cost no context until then.
- • It is part of a pack with 14 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
