What is nvim-lua-setup?

A setup guide for Neovim Lua plugins. Neovim is a text editor that can be extended with Lua code; the guide applies checks for code quality, tests, hooks, and continuous integration.

Use it when configuring linting, formatting, tests, local hooks, tool settings, or a CI pipeline for a Neovim plugin.

It gives a Lua plugin a consistent way to find mistakes and check changes automatically. It also accounts for the Lua version used inside Neovim.

nvim-lua-setup — Skill for Claude Code by ondrasek/cc-plugins

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add ondrasek/cc-plugins --skill nvim-lua-setup

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ondrasek/cc-plugins

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install blueprint, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 16 skills.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00074	$0.00813
Opus 5.5	$0.00030	$0.00325
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00163
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00081

Security

Grade A, and why

nvim-lua-setup 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (templates/auto-commit.sh, templates/per-edit-fix.sh, templates/quality-gate.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Neovim Lua Setup

Critical Rules

Always present analysis and plan to the user before making changes
Merge, don't replace — preserve existing selene.toml, .stylua.toml, CI jobs, hooks
Always configure for LuaJIT/Lua 5.1 (Neovim's embedded Lua)
All hook scripts must be executable (chmod +x)

Context Files

Read these files before starting:

skills/shared/references/methodology-framework.md — shared principles, hook architecture, exit codes, settings.json format
skills/shared/references/setup-workflow.md — the 6-phase workflow structure
skills/nvim-lua-setup/references/methodology.md — Neovim Lua-specific 9 dimensions, thresholds, tool research guidance
skills/nvim-lua-setup/references/analysis-checklist.md — what to check in the target codebase
skills/nvim-lua-setup/templates/ — annotated examples showing structural patterns. Use templates for patterns but substitute the tools chosen during research.

Workflow

Follow the 6-phase workflow from setup-workflow.md.

Phase 1: Analyze

Follow analysis-checklist.md systematically: project structure (lua/, plugin/, tests/, doc/), plugin type, test framework (plenary/mini.test/busted), existing tools, CI, maturity.

Phase 2: Plan

Research tools for each of the 9 dimensions. Neovim Lua-specific files to plan:

selene.toml + vim.toml — Selene linter configuration with Neovim globals
.stylua.toml — StyLua formatter configuration
.luacov — coverage configuration
.luarc.json — lua-language-server configuration
.claude/hooks/ — quality-gate.sh, per-edit-fix.sh, session-start.sh, optionally auto-commit.sh
.claude/settings.json — hook registrations (see methodology-framework.md for format)
.github/workflows/ci.yml — CI pipeline with Neovim version matrix
Makefile — development commands
CLAUDE.md — project instructions
semver-check.sh — only when Dimension 9 is activated at level 3

Present complete plan and wait for approval.

What ships with it

16 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
