Can it help me fix breaking changes in my Neovim config?

Yes. It fetches changelogs and GitHub discussions to provide specific migration steps and configuration snippets needed to adapt to new plugin versions.

Does this support plugin managers other than lazy.nvim?

While optimized for lazy.nvim patterns, the skill uses general shell tools to inspect directories and grep configurations, making it adaptable to most Neovim plugin managers.

Can it find why a plugin is not loading?

Yes, it follows a systematic diagnostic pattern to check if the plugin is installed, enabled in your config, has satisfied dependencies, or is experiencing a lazy-loading trigger failure.

How does this skill identify my installed plugins?

The skill scans your local configuration, specifically looking for lazy-lock.json and checking the ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/ directory to establish an authoritative list of installed versions.
