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• Neovim is outdated, or a specific new version/release of Neovim is needed.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

1. 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
   

2. 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.
3. Execute Update:
   • Once approved, run the update script without flags:

     bash ~/dotfiles/nvim/lua/upstream-dotfiles/claude/skills/update-neovim/scripts/update-neovim.sh
     

4. Verify Success: Output the results and confirm with nvim --version.
