System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It prevents hangs and race conditions by ensuring Neovim documentation is loaded safely, letting you quickly answer Neovim help and runtime questions without relying on running headless Neovim.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe local-first doc lookup: Reads Neovim runtime doc files directly from the installed runtime-doc paths (macOS Homebrew, Linux Snap), matching the exact local Neovim version.
  • Fallback discovery and remote retrieval: Derives the runtime/doc location from the nvim binary path when local patterns fail, and only then uses GitHub raw URLs as the least-preferred fallback.
  • Doc-driven question resolution: Supports lookups for help topics, runtime/doc content, and Lua APIā€“related questions by encouraging searching across the runtime doc directory with tools like rg before assuming a file contains the needed information.

Quick Start

Ask for Neovim help on a topic and request the skill to resolve it by reading the appropriate runtime doc files from your local Neovim installation, with online fallback only if local lookup fails.
