fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

# Pinia
Pinia is the official state management library for Vue, designed to be intuitive and type-safe. It supports both Options API and Composition API styles, with first-class TypeScript support and devtools integration.
> The skill is based on Pinia v3.0.4, generated at 2026-01-28.

## Key Recommendations
- **Prefer Setup Stores** for complex logic, composables, and watchers
- **Use `storeToRefs()`** when destructuring state/getters to preserve reactivity
- **Actions can be destructured directly** - they're bound to the store
- **Call stores inside functions** not at module scope, especially for SSR
- **Add HMR support** to each store for better development experience
- **Use `@pinia/testing`** for component tests with mocked stores
