sidekick

URL: https://github.com/folke/sidekick.nvim/

Maintainers: Austin Horstman

A Neovim plugin for using AI coding CLIs from the editor.

Sidekick’s NES feature requires the Copilot language server. Enable either plugins.copilot-lua.enable or lsp.servers.copilot.enable, or disable NES in plugins.sidekick.settings.opts.nes.enabled.

Sidekick supports several external CLI tools, but nixvim does not enable them automatically. Enable the tools you use explicitly, for example with dependencies.claude-code.enable, dependencies.copilot.enable, dependencies.gemini.enable, or dependencies.opencode.enable, or add the desired packages to your environment yourself.
