Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

> 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.
