claude.vim

About

claude.vim was an early (2024) demonstration of editor-native agent tool use before IDE integrations matured: rather than code completion, it offers chat where the model sees every open buffer and can act - opening files, running commands, evaluating Python - with each action individually consented. Changes arrive as vimdiff review rather than silent rewrites, and chat history is editable, letting users redact expensive context. About 95% of the plugin's own code was written by Claude through the plugin itself. Development has been intermittent, with the last commit in May 2025 updating defaults to Sonnet 4; it remains MIT-licensed and installable from source.
