What it does

Nvim Help is an agent skill from S1M0N38/love2d.nvim. Search and read Neovim's built-in :help documentation to look up API signatures, parameter types, option values, and event specifications from the user's installed runtime. Use when the user wants to consult reference material — function docs, help tags, option descriptions — not when they want to write, create, or debug something. Pairs with Context7 (neovim/neovim) for code examples; this skill provides exact local signatures and docs.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: ♡ A simple Neovim plugin to build games with LÖVE. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to consult reference material — function docs
  • Option descriptions — not when they want to write
  • Debug something

Example prompts

  • “/nvim-help”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c31946. 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 (its code samples are bash and vimdoc).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Nvim Help loads about 681 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 225 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~681

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.

Search and read Neovim's built-in :help documentation to look up API signatures, parameter types, option values, and event specifications from the user's installed runtime.

Neovim Help

Neovim's help docs are plain text in $VIMRUNTIME/doc/. Resolve the path once per session:

bash
VIMRUNTIME=$(nvim -l /dev/stdin <<< 'io.write(vim.env.VIMRUNTIME)' 2>/dev/null)

Tags are *like-this*, cross-references are |like-this|, code blocks are between > and < lines.

Search tags by keyword

bash
grep -i '<keyword>' "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/tags"

Output: <tag>\t<help-file>\t<search-pattern>

When presenting tag search results, show the full path to each file.

Read a help section for an exact tag

Escape dots (\.) and parens (\(\)) for sed.

bash
sed -n '/\*<exact-tag>\*/,/^====/p' "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/<help-file>"
# e.g. sed -n '/\*vim\.keymap\.set()\*/,/^====/p' "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/lua.txt"
# e.g. sed -n '/\*nvim_open_win()\*/,/^====/p' "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/api.txt"

Full-text search across all help files

bash
grep -rn '<pattern>' "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/"*.txt

Table of contents for a help file

bash
awk '/^===/{getline; print "  L" NR ": " $0}' "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/<file>"

List all tags in a file

bash
awk -F'\t' '$2 == "<file>" {print $1}' "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/tags"

List all help files

bash
ls "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/"*.txt

Output format

Always return the full raw help text — not a summary or paraphrase.

Single file

State the file path above the code block, then the raw vimdoc in a fenced block:

From $VIMRUNTIME/doc/lua.txt:

vimdoc
vim.keymap.set({modes}, {lhs}, {rhs}, {opts})               *vim.keymap.set()*
    ...
Multiple files

Use separate code blocks for each help file, each with its own file path above.

Exploratory searches

When a keyword search returns multiple tags, show the most relevant section in full. Then list other relevant tags the user can request next.

Context7 (optional)

If the Context7 MCP tool is available, query it for richer Lua code examples using library ID neovim/neovim. This complements the exact parameter signatures from local help docs.

General rules

  • Do not put the file path inside the code block — always above it
  • Do not narrate how the text was found
  • If multiple help files are relevant, use separate code blocks per file
