Vue is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It builds on standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with intuitive API and world-class documentation. The Composition API with `<script setup>` and TypeScript is the recommended approach for building Vue applications.

## Key Recommendations

- **Use `<script setup lang="ts">`** for all components
- **Prefer `ref()` over `reactive()`** for declaring state
- **Use type-based prop declarations** with interfaces
- **Use `defineModel()`** for v-model (3.4+)
- **Destructure props reactively** (3.5+) for cleaner code
- **Extract composables** for reusable stateful logic
