SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users diagnose and resolve complex configuration issues within Neovim and LazyVim, ensuring a smooth and efficient coding environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

Systematic Diagnosis: Employs a detective-like approach to identify root causes of errors, keymap failures, and plugin malfunctions.
Targeted Testing: Utilizes headless commands and file inspection to gather information programmatically before asking the user.
Use Case: A user reports that their custom keymap for opening a specific file type is not working. This Skill will systematically check if the keymap is registered, if the relevant plugin is loaded, and if there are any Lua errors preventing its execution.

Quick Start

Use the neovim-debugging skill to diagnose why the 'leader-f' keymap is not working in Neovim.

FAQPage Schema

How do I debug Neovim configuration errors systematically?▼

Debug Neovim configuration errors by systematically identifying root causes through hypothesis testing and programmatic data gathering. The process uses headless Neovim commands and file inspection to efficiently pinpoint Lua errors, non-functional keymaps, and plugin loading failures.

Why does my LazyVim keymap not work when I press the leader key?▼

A non-functional LazyVim keymap is diagnosed by checking if the keymap is registered, if the relevant plugin is loaded, and if any Lua errors prevent its execution. The Skill targets keymap failures by gathering programmatic data through headless commands before requesting user input.

How do I troubleshoot Neovim plugin loading failures?▼

Troubleshoot Neovim plugin loading failures by running headless Neovim commands and inspecting configuration files to gather data programmatically. This method isolates the root cause of the loading failure without relying on manual trial and error.

What is the best way to find the root cause of Lua errors in Neovim?▼

The best way to find the root cause of Lua errors in Neovim is applying a detective-like approach using hypothesis testing. The Skill validates hypotheses by programmatically gathering data through file inspection and headless commands to resolve the exact error source.

Can I diagnose performance degradation in Neovim without opening the editor?▼

Yes, you can diagnose Neovim performance degradation without opening the editor by utilizing headless Neovim commands. The Skill programmatically gathers diagnostic data from the command line to identify configuration issues causing the slowdown.

When should I use headless commands to troubleshoot nvim config issues?▼

Use headless commands to troubleshoot nvim config issues when you need to gather programmatic data efficiently before asking the user for input. This approach targets root causes of errors and performance issues by inspecting files and testing hypotheses directly from the command line.
