Wtf does this do

This project is a starter kit that gives you a working website built with Vue.js, where all the text, images, and other content is managed through Prismic, a hosted content management system. Instead of hardcoding page copy into your code files, you write and edit it in Prismic's browser-based editor, and the website pulls that content in automatically. This means a non-developer can update headlines, blog posts, or product descriptions without touching code. At a high level, the kit wires a Vue.js front end to Prismic's content API. You install dependencies, run a local server, and the starter includes a tutorial showing how to build a Vue component that fetches and displays content from Prismic. Once you understand the pattern, you remove the tutorial files and routes, then build your own pages on the same model. This is aimed at developers or founders who want to spin up a content-driven site quickly without building the plumbing from scratch. A good example would be a marketing site or simple blog where the marketing team needs to update content independently. Because Prismic handles the editing interface and content storage, you get a CMS-backed workflow without standing up a database or admin panel yourself. The project is straightforward and minimal, it's a starting point, not a full application. The README doesn't go into detail on architecture or tradeoffs beyond the basic setup and tutorial removal steps. The main design choice is committing to Prismic as the content layer, which simplifies things but ties you to that service.

Yoink these prompts

Prompt 1
Help me set up the Vue.js Prismic starter locally: walk me through installing dependencies, starting the dev server, and confirming content is loading from Prismic.
Prompt 2
I cloned this Vue.js Prismic starter and finished the tutorial. Show me how to remove the tutorial files and routes so I can start building my own pages on the same content-fetching pattern.
Prompt 3
Create a new Vue component for this starter that fetches a page's content from Prismic and renders the headline, body text, and image fields, following the same approach used in the tutorial component.
