Is anyone using them vim with Claude or any of these coding tools? I want to, but I haven’t found a good workflow.

Sidekick.nvim is nice, you get a "real" terminal window on the side with many different agents to choose from.

Either opencode, claude, gemini, copilot, basically most that are relevant :D

Its a pretty light connection-layer, so it helps with sending context.

Use no plugins, install Zellij (or tmux) and use in split panes, works great.

Just open a terminal split/tab and use claude there. The neovim buffer will update real-time.

Mentioned elsewhere, but

:term claude

In a split goes a long way for me!

Yes tab split, neovim on the left, companion on the right, or different tabs. The plugin codecompanion.nvim is also great. I use it for common tasks. Like:

vaf (visual around function) <space>ad (leader key add docstring).

And it documents the functions with my system prompt instructions for what good docstings should look like.

CodeCompanion.nvim is a pretty nice plugin. I use that for quick stuff and opencode in the embedded terminal for larger tasks.

I just have vim open in one terminal tab and Claude Code open in another terminal tab. Works great.
