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.

useIntersectionObserver

Detects that a target element's visibility.

Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useIntersectionObserver } from '@vueuse/core';
import { shallowRef, useTemplateRef } from 'vue';

const target = useTemplateRef('target');
const targetIsVisible = shallowRef(false);

const { stop } = useIntersectionObserver(target, ([entry], observerElement) => {
  targetIsVisible.value = entry?.isIntersecting || false;
});
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="target">
    <h1>Hello world</h1>
  </div>
</template>

Directive Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
import { vIntersectionObserver } from '@vueuse/components';
import { shallowRef, useTemplateRef } from 'vue';

const root = useTemplateRef('root');

const isVisible = shallowRef(false);

function onIntersectionObserver([entry]: IntersectionObserverEntry[]) {
  isVisible.value = entry?.isIntersecting || false;
}
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <p>Scroll me down!</p>
    <div v-intersection-observer="onIntersectionObserver">
      <p>Hello world!</p>
    </div>
  </div>

  <!-- with options -->
  <div ref="root">
    <p>Scroll me down!</p>
    <div v-intersection-observer="[onIntersectionObserver, { root }]">
      <p>Hello world!</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
