Key capabilities

• Structuring Pinia stores with clear, modular patterns
• Implementing actions and getters effectively
• Managing asynchronous operations in stores
• Optimizing performance through proper use of modules and plugins
• Ensuring type safety using TypeScript with Pinia

Example prompts

• "How should I structure my Pinia store for a user authentication system?"
