+# Vite Orchestrator
+
+When to use this skill
+
+- Use when initializing the frontend or when a repo lacks a Vite + TS config.
+- Triggered by prompts mentioning Vite, vite.config, tsconfig paths, or Tailwind wiring.
+
+Instructions
+
+1. First Step: Verify project root and package.json exist. If not present, suggest `npm create vite@latest -- --template react-ts`.
+
+2. Second Step: Create/update `tsconfig.json` with `baseUrl` and `paths` (`@/*` → `src/*`). Provide a `tsconfig.json` snippet and ensure the TypeScript server is restarted.
+
+3. Third Step: Create `vite.config.ts` using `@vitejs/plugin-react` and `vite-tsconfig-paths` and configure CSS handling (PostCSS/Tailwind if requested).
+
+4. Fourth Step: Add recommended npm scripts to `package.json` (`dev`, `build`, `preview`, `lint`, `test`, `format`) and list required dependencies to install.
+
+Examples
+
+- "generate vite.config.ts with tsconfig aliases"
+- Commands: `npm i -D vite @vitejs/plugin-react vite-tsconfig-paths` and `npm i -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer` (if Tailwind enabled)
+
+Additional Resources
+
+- Vite: https://vitejs.dev
+- vite-tsconfig-paths: https://github.com/aleclarson/vite-tsconfig-paths
+
+Notes
+
+- Recommend using `vite-tsconfig-paths` to avoid duplicating aliases in Vite config.
+- If running in CI, show how to set `VITE_` env vars during build.
