SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured and efficient workflow for developing and testing Lua code within the Neovim editor, ensuring code quality and functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Iterative Development Loop: Guides users through implementing, manually verifying, and writing automated tests for Neovim Lua code.
  • Manual Verification via MCP: Utilizes Neovim's MessagePack RPC (MCP) for real-time code execution and debugging.
  • Automated Testing: Integrates with Plenary's Busted testing framework for robust unit tests.
  • Use Case: When developing a new Neovim plugin feature, use this Skill to write the code, test it interactively in Neovim, and then ensure its reliability with automated tests.

Quick Start

Use the coding-neovim skill to implement, verify, and test Lua code within Neovim.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Neovim Lua plugins using Plenary Busted?

You test Neovim Lua plugins with Plenary Busted by writing automated unit tests within an iterative development loop that implements, manually verifies via MCP, and then validates code functionality. This ensures your Lua code runs correctly in the Neovim environment.

How does MCP manual verification work for Neovim Lua development?

MCP manual verification for Neovim Lua development uses Neovim's MessagePack RPC to execute and debug code in real-time. It requires a healthy MCP connection for all development tasks, allowing you to interactively verify plugin behavior before writing automated tests.

What's the best way to structure Neovim plugin development and testing?

The best way to structure Neovim plugin development is through an iterative loop: implement the Lua code, manually verify it via MCP, and then write automated tests with Plenary Busted. This workflow ensures code quality and functionality throughout the process.

Do I need a healthy MCP connection for all Neovim Lua development tasks?

Yes, you need a healthy MCP connection for all Neovim Lua development tasks. The Skill requires an active MessagePack RPC connection to facilitate real-time code execution, manual verification, and debugging within the Neovim environment.

Can I use this workflow to debug Lua code directly in the Neovim environment?

Yes, you can debug Lua code directly in the Neovim environment by utilizing MCP for real-time execution and interactive verification. The workflow integrates manual debugging with automated Plenary Busted tests to ensure your code functions correctly.

Why does Neovim Lua development require both manual verification and automated testing?

Neovim Lua development requires both because manual verification via MCP catches interactive runtime issues in real-time, while automated testing with Plenary Busted ensures long-term reliability. Combining both in an iterative loop guarantees robust plugin functionality.
