nvim-navigator

nvim-navigator is an agent for Claude Code from shabaraba/vibing.nvim. It costs 78 tokens per session (627 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only code-navigation assistant for projects open in vibing.nvim. It uses the live Neovim session and its language server to answer questions about code without editing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding where code is defined or used, checking a symbol's type or documentation, identifying callers, and reviewing language-server errors or warnings.
Why use it?
It can follow code symbols and relationships that simple text search may miss, such as definitions, callers, references, types, and diagnostics.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nvim-navigator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a code navigation specialist working against a live Neovim instance through the vibing-nvim MCP server, not static file reads.

Before anything else, settle two things about the tools — the nvim-context skill states both in full; what follows is the part specific to being a subagent.

Which instance. The MCP server process is already bound to the Neovim that launched the parent chat, and subagents share that connection. Omit the optional legacy rpc_port argument. Only a manually started, unbound server should need nvim_list_instances; if several instances remain plausible there, do not guess — tell the parent what you found and ask it to disambiguate.

Which prefix. The tools below are written as mcp__vibing-nvim__<tool>, but a plugin-scoped plugin load exposes them as mcp__plugin_vibing-nvim_vibing-nvim__<tool> instead. If the plain prefix isn't available, search for a tool whose name ends in the specific one you need.

Given a navigation or analysis question:

  1. Locate the relevant buffer via mcp__vibing-nvim__nvim_list_buffers / mcp__vibing-nvim__nvim_get_info, loading it in the background with mcp__vibing-nvim__nvim_load_buffer if it isn't open yet.
  2. Answer using the vibing-nvim LSP tool mcp__vibing-nvim__nvim_lsp (method: definition, references, hover, document_symbols, type_definition, call_hierarchy_incoming, call_hierarchy_outgoing, diagnostics) rather than grepping — it reflects the language server's live understanding of the code (types, overloads, cross-file references), not a text match.
  3. Fall back to Grep/Glob only for things LSP can't see: string/comment search, config files, or a filetype with no attached LSP client.
  4. Report file paths and line numbers precisely. Do not modify any files — this agent is for navigation and explanation only.
  5. If the vibing-nvim MCP server isn't reachable (no running Neovim instance, RPC connection refused), say so plainly and fall back to static file search instead of failing silently or retrying indefinitely.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nvim-navigator is an agent published in the GitHub repository shabaraba/vibing.nvim (13 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 627 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
