About sidekick.nvim

folke/sidekick.nvim

Your Neovim AI sidekick

Leverages Copilot LSP's "Next Edit Suggestions" with Treesitter-based word-level diff visualization and hunk-by-hunk navigation, plus an integrated terminal for AI CLIs (Claude, Gemini, Copilot CLI, etc.) with context-aware prompts and `tmux`/`zellij` session persistence. The plugin automatically watches files modified by AI tools and reloads them in Neovim, while offering a rich extensible API for custom workflows.
