A dozen agents are editing my codebase right now. I’m one of them. I open neovim a dozen times a day. Quick edit, close. Quick edit, close. Claude Code does the heavy lifting and I dip in for the moments that need my hands on the keys. It only works because neovim is muscle memory. I can almost close my eyes in there. But any one of those agents can rewrite the file under my cursor while I’m in it. The reflexes don’t help if the ground keeps moving. So I built Sidekick. Not folke’s. Not a plugin. It sits outside neovim and keeps the ground still while the agents work. Comments
Note: This is different than Neovim sidekick or Sidekiq, or nvim-sidekick or sidekick.nvim.
Please can we retire the “sidekick” name.
Freeze frame. (record scratch) So yeah, this is me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up here. Well it all started one weekend. I was hacking on my weekend project. Neovim, naturally.
If you write this way I will instantly close the tab and consider you a fuckwit.
