The AI client that Neovim deserves, built by those that still enjoy to code.
IF YOU ARE HERE FROM THE YT VIDEO
So many things have changed. So please be careful!
It will happen that apis will disapear or be changed. Sorry, this is an BETA product.
This repo is meant to be my exploration grounds for using AI mixed with tradcoding.
I believe that hand coding is still very important and the best products i know of today still do that (see opencode vs claude code)
- Prompts are temporary right now. they could be massively improved
- Officially in beta, but api can still change. unlikely at this point
The AI Neovim experience
99 is an agentic workflow that is meant to meld the current programmers ability with the amazing powers of LLMs. Instead of being a replacement, its meant to augment the programmer.
As of now, the direction of 99 is to progress into agentic programming and surfacing
of information. In the beginning and the original youtube video was about replacing
specific pieces of code. The more i use 99 the more i realize the better use is
through search and work

--- md_files is a list of files to look for and auto add based on the location

-- take extra note that i have visual selection only in v mode

Sets up _99. Must be called for this library to work. This is how we setup in flight request spinners, set default values, get completion to work the way you want it to.
Performs a search across your project with the prompt you provide and return out a list of locations with notes that will be put into your quick fix list.
takes your current selection and sends that along with the prompt provided and replaces your visual selection with the results
views the most recent logs and setups the machine to view older and new logs this is still pretty rough and will change in the near future
stops all in flight requests. this means that the underlying process will be killed (OpenCode) and any result will be discared
clears all previous search and visual operations

The options that are used throughout all the interations with 99. This includes search, visual, and others
| Name | Type | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
additional_prompt |

additional_rules |
_99.Agents.Rule[] | nil |

by providing additional_prompt you will not be required to provide a prompt.
this allows you to define actions based on remaps
remap("n", "<leader>9d", function()
--- this function could be used to auto debug your project
_99.search({
additional_prompt = [[
run `make test` and debug the test failures and provide me a comprehensive set of steps where
the tests are breaking ]]
})
end)This would kick off a search job that will run your tests in the background. the resulting failures would be diagnosed and search results would be transfered into a quick fix list.
can be used to provide extra args. If you have a skill called "cloudflare" you could provide the rule for cloudflare and its context will be injected into your request
See _99.opts.Opts for more information.

When prompting, you can reference rules and files to add context to your request.
#references rules — type#in the prompt to autocomplete rule files from your configured rule directories@references files — type@to fuzzy-search project files
Referenced content is automatically resolved and injected into the AI context. Requires cmp (source = "cmp" in your completion config).
99 supports multiple AI CLI backends. Set provider in your setup to switch. If you don't set model, the provider's default is used.
| Provider | CLI tool | Default model |
|---|---|---|
OpenCodeProvider (default) |
opencode |
opencode/claude-sonnet-4-5 |
ClaudeCodeProvider |
claude |
claude-sonnet-4-5 |
CursorAgentProvider |
cursor-agent |
sonnet-4.5 |
GeminiCLIProvider |
gemini |
auto |
_99.setup({
provider = _99.Providers.ClaudeCodeProvider,
-- model is optional, overrides the provider's default
model = "claude-sonnet-4-5",
})If you have telescope.nvim installed, you can switch models on the fly via the Telescope picker:
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>9m", function()
require("99.extensions.telescope").select_model()
end)The selected model is used for all subsequent requests in the current session.
Switch between providers (OpenCode, Claude, Cursor, Kiro) without restarting Neovim. Switching provider also resets the model to that provider's default.
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>9p", function()
require("99.extensions.telescope").select_provider()
end)If you use fzf-lua instead of telescope, the same pickers are available:
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>9m", function()
require("99.extensions.fzf_lua").select_model()
end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>9p", function()
require("99.extensions.fzf_lua").select_provider()
end)To report a bug, please provide the full running debug logs. This may require a bit of back and forth.
Please do not request features. We will hold a public discussion on Twitch about features, which will be a much better jumping point then a bunch of requests that i have to close down. If you do make a feature request ill just shut it down instantly.
To get the last run's logs execute :lua require("99").view_logs().
If there are secrets or other information in the logs you want to be removed make
sure that you delete the query printing. This will likely contain information you may not want to share.
