nvim

name: nvim description: Apply LazyVim Neovim configuration rules for Lua scripting, LSP integration, and plugin management. Use when working with Neovim configuration files, plugins, or Lua modules.

Neovim Configuration - AI Rules and Guidelines

Plugin Selection

• Search for plugins dynamically; don't rely on trained knowledge for current options
• Ensure LazyVim compatibility
• Require active maintenance and regular updates
• Prefer Lua-based plugins over Vimscript alternatives
• Prefer well-established plugins with good community support
• Minimal startup and runtime performance impact is mandatory

Configuration Patterns

• Extend existing LazyVim plugins with optional = true to avoid conflicts
• Use opts = function(_, opts) when merging with existing configuration
• Use enabled = function() for conditional loading based on system state
• Register keymaps via which-key specs in plugin opts, not standalone vim.keymap.set calls
• Use vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd with which-key for filetype-scoped keymaps

LSP Integration

• Use Mason for LSP server management when possible
• Configure non-Mason servers with proper fallbacks
• Configure LSP capabilities with the active completion engine

AI Integration

• Balance AI features with editor responsiveness
• Ensure sensitive code handling follows security skill

Testing and Validation

• Monitor startup time and memory usage with :Lazy profile
• Ensure compatibility with LazyVim updates before upgrading
• Make small, testable, reversible changes
