What it does

Agentic Neovim Documentation is an agent skill from carlos-algms/agentic.nvim. Use when neovim documentation is needed for the current task or the user asks for specific neovim features or neovim lua apis. It gives instructions on how to read current Neovim's documentation locally and offline, and also how to read online if it fails

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Lua. The repository describes itself as: Agentic Chat Interface directly in Neovim with ACP providers from Claude-Code, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor-agent. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Neovim documentation is needed for the current task
  • The user asks for specific neovim features
  • Neovim lua apis

Example prompts

  • “/agentic-neovim-documentation”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e280dee. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • raw.githubusercontent.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Agentic Neovim Documentation loads about 418 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 163 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~418

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Neovim Documentation Files and help docs

CRITICAL: Do NOT run nvim --headless or any other nvim command to read help documentation. Use direct file access instead.

Exception: regenerating helptags after a vimdoc edit is allowed and required by AGENTS.md — timeout 5 nvim --headless -c "helptags doc/" -c "quit". That writes tags, it does not read docs.

Why: Running nvim commands can hang, cause race conditions, or interfere with development environment.

Neovim Documentation Lookup Strategy:

Always prefer reading local documentation files directly from the Neovim runtime path, because they reflect the exact version installed on the system.

Common path patterns for discovery:

  • macOS (Homebrew):
    • Runtime docs: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/neovim/*/share/nvim/runtime/doc/
    • Note: We don't need the exact version, just use the wildcard * to match the installed version
  • Linux (Snap): /snap/nvim/current/usr/bin/nvim
    • Runtime docs: /snap/nvim/current/usr/share/nvim/runtime/doc/

If local lookup fails: Use GitHub raw URLs (least preferred)

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neovim/neovim/refs/tags/v<version>/runtime/doc/<doc-name>.txt

Tip: Do not assume a file contains what you need, use rg, or grep on the runtime/doc folder to find the file containing needed info.
