Neovim AI Agent Done Right
Neovim AI Agent Done Right
If you follow ThePrimeagen, you know he's skeptical of AI tools that take control away from the developer. So when he releases an AI tool, you pay attention.
99 is his take on an AI agent, built specifically for the Neovim workflow.
The Philosophy
Most AI extensions try to be a separate chat window inside your editor. 99 tries to be a part of your buffer.
- Inline Editing: It modifies code where you are looking.
- Vim Motions: You interact with it using the keyboard shortcuts you already know.
- No Magic: It shows you exactly what it's doing.
Why Neovim Users Need This
VS Code users have had Copilot Chat for ages. Neovim users have had to cobble together scripts or use slower external tools. 99 feels native. It respects the speed and minimalism that draws people to Vim in the first place.
"I don't want an AI to write my code. I want an AI to help me edit my code faster."
If you live in the terminal, this is a must-try.
