Update Neovim Skill
This skill allows the agent to update Neovim to the latest GitHub release.
When to Use
- The user wants to update or upgrade Neovim.
- Neovim is outdated, or a specific new version/release of Neovim is needed.
Core Pattern
- Analyze and Check Installation: Run the update script with the
--check flag to investigate the environment:
bash ~/dotfiles/nvim/lua/upstream-dotfiles/claude/skills/update-neovim/scripts/update-neovim.sh --check
- Review and Confirm:
- Inspect the output of the check.
- Formulate a clear plan explaining what type of installation was detected, where it resides, and what action the script will perform.
- Present this plan to the user in the chat and ask for confirmation:
"I detected a [standalone/AppImage extract] installation at [path]. I plan to [update/fresh install] it from version [current] to [latest] by [method]. Do you want to proceed?"
- Stop and wait for their explicit approval.
- Execute Update:
- Verify Success: Output the results and confirm with
nvim --version.
