What it is

sidekick.nvim is a Neovim plugin that provides Next Edit Suggestions (NES) powered by Copilot LSP, along with an integrated AI CLI terminal for interacting with AI tools from within Neovim. It includes a review/apply workflow for diffs, chat capabilities, and a library of prompts for common tasks.

How it works

The plugin integrates Copilot LSP NES for automatic edits and diffs. It also exposes a built-in terminal interface to interact with AI CLIs, with pre-configured tool support and a prompt library. Configuration is via require("sidekick").setup({ ... }) and includes nes, cli, tools, prompts, and picker options. The default settings show various events and debounce controls for NES, UI options for CLI layout, and a mux system for session persistence.

Getting started

To install, use a Neovim plugin manager and configure the setup as shown in the README example. The Quick Start steps include enabling Copilot LSP, checking health with :checkhealth sidekick, signing in with :LspCopilotSignIn, and trying NES with a pause in typing or navigation via <Tab> to navigate/apply.

Behind the repo

folke/sidekick.nvim is described as an AI sidekick for Neovim with NES integration and an AI CLI terminal, targeting Neovim users who want to review/apply diffs and interact with AI tools from within the editor. The repository topic set includes neovim, nvim-plugin, cli-related integrations, and multiple AI tool compatibilities.

Caveats

License: Apache-2.0. Requires Neovim >= 0.11.2 and the Copilot LSP server. The README notes optional dependencies like snacks.nvim and treesitter-textobjects for enhanced features. The defaults include multiple configurable sections (nes, cli, tools, prompts, picker) and a mux backend that defaults to tmux unless zellij is detected.
