Migrates IdeaVim extensions from the legacy VimExtensionFacade to the modern @VimPlugin annotation-based API.
This skill provides specialized guidance for refactoring IdeaVim extensions into the new modular API architecture. It helps developers transition from legacy VimExtensionFacade patterns to the modern @VimPlugin system by providing step-by-step refactoring workflows, ensuring test stability through incremental changes, and implementing Kotlin-friendly API patterns such as VimApi receiver functions. It is particularly useful for maintainers looking to modernize IdeaVim plugins while maintaining high code quality and test coverage.
