ok this was actually pretty dope. I asked claude sonnet 4 (using my magenta plugin) what the actual clickable area of a "tick" was in d3. It created a demo html page, opened it using the playwright mcp server, and ran some experiments to give me a grounded answer.

I just shipped "@" commands for my #neovim #nvim #ai plugin.

It was pretty tricky to get fzf-powered matching for files within your repo! github.com/dlants/magen...
Check it @neovim.io

Got shader-based cursor smear set up in #ghostty nightly. Ahh so smooth github.com/dlants/dotfi...

Refactoring a personal project with magenta...
I converted the first file with a lot of oversight, then had the agent create a markdown file with instructions based on what it learned.
Now using sub-agents to do the rest in parallel.

I just shipped a big update to my #neovim #nvim #ai plugin, magenta.nvim! It now supports server-side web search for the #anthropic provider. I also recently updated the code editing tools to apply changes directly, so you can now set up agentic loops to iterate over your tests or diagnostics.

Getting to the point where I can generate tools for my new #neovim / #nvim LLM plugin using the plugin 🎉 github.com/dlants/magen...
![A screenshot of a neovim window. There's a sidebar open for Magenta, a new LLM agentic plugin. The chat buffer reads:
# user:
I have an example tool in listBuffers.ts. I also have a way to request a hover in lsp.ts (both are open buffers).
I'd like you to create a new tool, "hover". It should take a filePath and a string symbol, find the first instance of the symbol in the filePath, and then request its hover information from the lsp. Don't worry about processing the response yet, I just want to trigger the request so I can see the shape of the result.
# assistant:
I'll help you examine these files and create the new tool. First, let's look at the existing code.
✅ Finished reading file ./src/listBuffers.ts
✅ Finished getting buffers.
I see the correct paths now. Let's examine both files:
✅ Finished reading file rplugin/node/magenta/src/tools/listBuffers.ts
✅ Finished reading file rplugin/node/magenta/src/lsp.ts
Now I have a good understanding of both files. I'll create a new hover tool following the same pattern as listBuffers.ts. Let me create a new file for it:
Edit rplugin/node/magenta/src/tools/hover.ts (1 edits).
**[👀 review edits ]**
Insert 210 lines.
Awaiting user review.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qe5qapvmmiipfwdfnowm7qob/bafkreihj7r4mjdxrtn3kpz5fa73lr3lnqr4kuzg7jg4gjj7rnkcgs6l7yu@jpeg)

Lots of hacking on my new #neovim / #nvim integrated coding assistant today. I ended up abandoning lua and porting it to be a typescript / node rplugin, doing some UX stuff, and also hooking up my first tool!
(definitely not ready to be used yet)
