I wrote my own neovim AI harnesshttps://github.com/dlants/magenta.nvim

And wrote about my thoughts on the relevance of nvim here https://dlants.me/ai-whiplash.html

It's been many months, and I thoroughly prefer my harness inside of nvim as my day to day development environment. Using Claude code or cursor makes me feel very removed from the code.

Exploring code, gathering context and tweaking prompts/giving guidance to the agent are very much enhanced by neovim.

The biggest boon has been the fact that agents make customizing neovim a lot easier. Writing new bindings, config, and even building novel plugins.

Here's a few that I built that fit into my workflow:

- a tool for reviewing commits / branches / wip. https://github.com/dlants/glean

- an iterative grepper https://github.com/dlants/shuck

- a file picker that renders in your current window (like oil) and uses more intelligent signals for ranking (like frecency) https://github.com/dlants/needle
