nvim-plugin

A set of rules and tools for writing Neovim plugins in Lua. Neovim is a text editor that can be extended with plugins written in Lua.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, changing, or reviewing a Neovim plugin, including its setup code, commands, health checks, help pages, and lazy loading.
Why use it?
It helps keep a plugin's structure, documentation, type annotations, loading behavior, and checks consistent. It also points to Neovim's own documentation for details that may change.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-plugin 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 2d 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

Writing Neovim plugins

:h lua-plugin (https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua-plugin/) is the authority on layout, setup() patterns, <Plug> mappings, guard variables, health checks and deprecation. Read it rather than working from memory — it is opinionated and it changes. This skill only records what it leaves out.

Style

Per .stylua.toml: 2-space indentation, double quotes, 120-char width, requires sorted by stylua.

Tooling

  • vimdoc: author in Markdown, generate with panvimdoc, then :helptags doc/.
  • Types: annotate the public API with LuaCATS and run lua-typecheck-action in CI, so luals catches breakage before users do.
  • Releases: SemVer via luarocks-tag-release or release-please-action. Publish to luarocks when the plugin has Lua dependencies or is one itself.

Development loop

  • :restart reloads plugin changes.
  • nvim --startuptime /tmp/nvim-startup.log to check what eager loading in plugin/ costs.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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-plugin is a skill published in the GitHub repository fredrikaverpil/dotfiles (256 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 344 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.
