name: Neovim Config description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "add a new plugin", "configure LSP", "add keymaps", "modify Neovim settings", "set up completion", "configure formatters", or mentions Neovim, nvim, or plugin configuration in this dotfiles repository.

Neovim Config Helper

Provide guidance for managing Neovim configuration in this dotfiles repository.

Configuration Overview

This Neovim setup uses:

• Lua-based configuration with init.lua as the entry point
• lz.n for lazy loading plugin management
• nvim-lspconfig with native vim.lsp.enable() for LSP
• conform.nvim for formatting
• blink.cmp for completion

Common Tasks

Adding a New Plugin

Add to the appropriate category file in lua/plugins/ using lz.n format:

Copy{
  "plugin-name",
  event = { "BufReadPre", "BufNewFile" },
  after = function()
    require("plugin-name").setup({
      -- Plugin configuration
    })
  end,
}

See examples/new-plugin.lua for complete examples including:

• Event-based, filetype-based, and key-based lazy loading
• Dependencies and conditional enabling

Adding an LSP Server

Edit lua/plugins/lsp.lua:

Copyfor _, ls in pairs({
  -- Existing servers...
  "new_lsp_server",
}) do
  vim.lsp.enable(ls)
end

For custom server configuration:

Copyif ls == "new_server" then
  vim.lsp.config(ls, {
    settings = { ... },
  })
end

See references/lsp-configuration.md for the full server list and detailed configuration options.

Adding a Formatter

Edit lua/plugins/lsp.lua in the conform.nvim setup:

Copyrequire("conform").setup({
  formatters_by_ft = {
    -- Existing formatters...
    python = { "black", "isort" },
  },
})

See references/formatters.md for conditional formatters and advanced configuration.

Modifying Completion

Edit lua/plugins/completion.lua for blink.cmp settings.

See references/completion.md for keymap customization and source configuration.

Adding Keymaps

Global keymaps - Edit lua/keymaps.lua:

Copyvim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>xx", function()
  -- Action
end, { desc = "Description" })

LSP keymaps - Modify the LspAttach autocmd in lua/plugins/lsp.lua.

Key Conventions

• Leader: Space
• ; and :: Swapped for easier command mode
• jj: Exit insert mode
• LSP: gd (definition), gr (references), K (hover), <leader>ca (code action)

Configuration Notes

1. Out-of-Store Symlinks: Edits apply immediately without Nix rebuild
2. Format on Save: Enabled by default (1 second timeout)
3. Backup Directory: Unused configs stored in lua/plugins/backup/

Troubleshooting

Copy:LspInfo          " Check LSP status
:checkhealth      " General health check
:ConformInfo      " Check formatter status
