Do I need any external tools for this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the 'neovim-remote' (nvr) Python package to be installed on your system to communicate with Neovim instances.

What happens if no Neovim instances are running?

The skill will provide a clear notification that no instances were found and can suggest the appropriate command to start a new Neovim session.

Can it detect Neovim instances in different directories?

Yes, it globally lists all active instances regardless of which directory or project they were started in.

What does the nvr-list skill do?

It scans your system for active Neovim instances and displays their working directories, PIDs, and socket paths to help you manage multiple editor sessions.

How does it help with Claude Code workflows?

It allows Claude to understand your current workspace context and ensures that commands or file edits are sent to the correct editor session.

Developer Tools

Lists all active Neovim instances across your system with project directories and process details.

About

The Neovim Session List skill provides a comprehensive overview of all running Neovim editors on your system by identifying their working directories, process IDs, and communication sockets. This is essential for developers managing multiple projects simultaneously, as it allows Claude to pinpoint which editor instance belongs to which project, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and prevent redundant editor launches by verifying existing sessions before opening new files.
