Why does Claude say no Neovim instance is found?

This usually happens if Neovim isn't running in your current directory or if the nvr-discover script cannot locate the Unix socket used for remote communication.

What information does nvr-status provide?

It displays the active Neovim socket path, process ID (PID), current working directory of the editor, and the number of open buffers.

Can I use this to switch between different Neovim windows?

While nvr-status identifies the current instance, it is primarily used for verification; you can then use nvr-list to see all available instances to switch between.

Does this skill require Neovim Remote (nvr) to be installed?

Yes, it relies on the 'nvr' utility to query the active Neovim instance for its internal state and process information.
