How do I see my uncommitted changes in a Nuxt project with Atlas?

Atlas allows you to use its `bash` tool to run `git diff`, which surfaces the full working diff for your Nuxt project. This includes changes across `pages/` routes, `composables/` auto-imports, and `server/api/` Nitro handlers, ensuring you review all modifications.

What Nuxt-specific files should I check in a diff?

When reviewing a Nuxt diff, pay close attention to changes in `pages/` for routing, `composables/` for auto-imported utilities, `server/api/` for Nitro handlers, and `nuxt.config.ts` for framework configuration. Also, check `.vue` components and `.ts` files for general code quality.

Can Atlas run `vitest` for my Nuxt tests?

Yes, Atlas can execute your Nuxt project's tests. You can instruct Atlas to use its `bash` tool to run `pnpm test`, which typically invokes `vitest (@nuxt/test-utils)` in a Nuxt setup, verifying your changes against your test suite.

How do I format my Nuxt code before committing?

To format your Nuxt code, use Atlas's `bash` tool to run `pnpm prettier --write .`. This command will apply your project's `prettier` configuration to all relevant `.vue` and `.ts` files, ensuring consistent code style before committing.

What happens if I make a mistake in my Nuxt diff?

If you identify a mistake in your Nuxt diff, Atlas's session revert feature can restore your working tree from a previous snapshot. This allows you to undo unwanted changes cleanly, without manual intervention, provided the session is not currently busy.

Does Atlas understand Nuxt's auto-imports and file-based routing?

Yes, Atlas is designed to pair with Nuxt and respects its conventions, including file-based routing in `pages/`, auto-imports from `composables/`, and the server/client split of Nitro. This allows Atlas to make contextually aware suggestions and modifications.

How does Atlas prevent unwanted changes in my Nuxt project?

Atlas prevents unwanted changes through several safety mechanisms. It drafts plans in a read-only agent, asks for approval before switching to a build agent, and surfaces a unified diff for every file edit for your explicit approval before writing to your Nuxt codebase.

Self-review Your Working Diff Before Committing in Nuxt with Atlas in 2026

To catch your own mistakes in an uncommitted Nuxt diff before it reaches a reviewer or CI, Atlas helps you produce and read the full working diff, grep for debugging leftovers, and run your Nuxt project's `vitest (@nuxt/test-utils)` tests and `prettier` formatter. This ensures your Nuxt codebase adheres to quality standards and best practices in 2026.

How to produce and read your full Nuxt working diff with Atlas

To effectively self-review your Nuxt changes, you must produce and read the entire working diff, not just the files you remember touching. Atlas, in 2026, can surface the raw diff from your Git working tree, allowing you to review every line of code that has changed.

Atlas integrates with your version control system to provide a comprehensive view of your uncommitted changes. Instead of relying on memory, which can lead to overlooked errors, Atlas allows you to use `bash` to generate the full working diff. This ensures you see all modifications across your Nuxt project, including changes in `pages/` routes, `composables/` auto-imports, or `server/api/` Nitro handlers. Reading each changed file in full, rather than just the diff lines, is crucial. A diff highlights only what changed, but reviewing the entire file helps you check the change against its surroundings, ensuring contextually appropriate modifications and preventing unintended side effects in your Nuxt application.

How to grep for debugging leftovers in your Nuxt codebase

Debugging leftovers, such as temporary logging or skipped tests, can easily slip into your Nuxt commits. In 2026, Atlas helps you proactively identify these issues by allowing you to `grep` your working diff for common debugging patterns before they reach a reviewer or CI.

After reviewing the overall diff, a critical step is to `grep` for common debugging artifacts that should not be committed. For Nuxt projects, this often includes `console.log`, `debugger;`, or commented-out blocks of code. Specifically, when using `vitest (@nuxt/test-utils)` for testing, you should `grep` for `.skip` or `.only` test modifiers, which indicate tests that were temporarily skipped or isolated during development. Atlas's `grep` tool can quickly scan your uncommitted changes, helping you catch these remnants in files like `.vue` components, `.ts` composables, or `server/api/` handlers, ensuring a clean and production-ready Nuxt codebase.

How to run Nuxt tests and format code with Atlas before committing

Before committing your Nuxt changes, it is essential to run your project's tests and apply code formatting to maintain quality and consistency. Atlas allows you to execute your `vitest (@nuxt/test-utils)` test suite and `prettier` formatter directly from the terminal, ensuring your code meets standards in 2026.

Maintaining a high-quality Nuxt codebase requires consistent testing and formatting. Atlas enables you to run your project's test suite using `pnpm test` (which typically invokes `vitest (@nuxt/test-utils)` in a Nuxt project) to verify that your changes have not introduced regressions and that new features work as expected. For code style, Atlas can invoke `prettier` over your touched `.vue` and `.ts` files. This ensures that your code adheres to the project's defined formatting rules, preventing style-related comments during code review. By integrating these steps into your self-review workflow, you ensure that your Nuxt code is both functionally correct and aesthetically consistent before it ever leaves your local machine.

How Atlas safely reverts unwanted Nuxt changes from a snapshot

If you identify a change in your Nuxt working diff that should not have been made, Atlas provides a safe session revert mechanism. This feature restores your files from a previous snapshot, ensuring that unwanted modifications are undone without disrupting an active session in 2026.

Atlas's session revert flow is backed by snapshots, offering a robust way to undo unwanted changes in your Nuxt project. If, during your self-review, you discover a modification in a `nuxt.config.ts` file or a `composables/` utility that needs to be rolled back, Atlas can restore your working tree to a previous state. The system asserts that the session is not busy before running the revert, preventing a half-written turn from being rolled back mid-flight and ensuring data integrity. This capability means you can confidently experiment and make changes, knowing that any missteps can be undone cleanly, rather than requiring manual, error-prone hand-reversions of your Nuxt code.

How Atlas enhances Nuxt development with permission-gated tools

Atlas enhances Nuxt development by providing a suite of terminal-native AI tools that are permission-gated, ensuring secure and controlled code modifications. Every Atlas tool call, whether for `grep` or `edit`, is checked against allow, ask, and deny rules before execution, offering a secure environment in 2026.

Atlas's design prioritizes safety and control, which is particularly valuable when working with complex Nuxt projects involving file-based routing, auto-imports, and the server/client split of Nitro. When Atlas suggests moving a `fetch` out of a component into `useAsyncData` or adding a Nitro route handler, it first drafts a plan in a read-only plan agent. Before switching to a build agent to make actual changes, Atlas asks for your explicit approval. Furthermore, every file edit Atlas proposes is presented as a unified diff for your approval before writing. This granular control, combined with its ability to understand Nuxt's specific project structure, ensures that Atlas acts as a powerful yet safe co-pilot for Nuxt developers.
