Interact with the user's running Neovim instance via RPC. Use this skill when you need to execute Lua or Vimscript inside Neovim, query buffer state, send commands, or interact with the Neovim runtime in any way. Triggers when the user asks about their current Neovim session, wants to run something inside Neovim, or when you need to inspect Neovim state (buffers, windows, options, LSP, etc.). Also use when running inside a Neovim terminal and needing to communicate with the parent editor.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'neovim' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'neovim' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named neovim already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/fredrikaverpil/dotfiles' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '0a3ac0767582737e72aebb92f78881122d4e8772' -- 'stow/shared/.claude/skills/neovim' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'stow/shared/.claude/skills/neovim' ~/.agents/skills/'neovim' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'neovim' ~/.claude/skills/'neovim' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
