Neovim Internals Reference

Agent skill
1 skill

The Neovim-internals theory pack for NvSinner. Load BEFORE touching anything in lua/core/ (ai-activity, ui-touch, autoreload, update, health), terminal behavior (toggleterm, PTY buffers, TermOpen), autocmds and their ordering, statusline/winbar expressions, vim.uv timers, highlight groups / winhighlight, lazy.nvim loading/lockfile semantics, or the native vim.lsp API. Also load whenever a Neovim API behaves unexpectedly: E5560 errors, a winbar that renders empty or frozen, a spinner that stops, a changedtick that never moves, an autocmd that "doesn't fire", a highlight that reverts after a plugin loads, or a redraw that doesn't happen. This explains WHY the platform behaves that way and where this repo depends on each rule.
