prism.nvim
Claude controls your editor directly. Talk to it. Watch it edit.
Why Prism?
See every edit happen. Claude opens files, jumps to lines, and makes changes right in front of you. Full undo support - just press u.
65+ MCP tools. Harpoon, Trouble, Spectre, LSP, Git - all controllable by voice. Pin files, find TODOs, bulk replace, fix errors.
No vim required. Just talk: "go to line 42", "fix this error", "commit with message X". Prism translates.
Install
/plugin add-marketplace genomewalker/prism.nvim
/plugin install prism-nvim@genomewalker-prism-nvim
Or: /prism install
Then restart Claude Code and open Neovim.

Vibe Coding
Don't know vim? Just describe what you want:
| You say | What happens |
|---|
| "go to line 42" | Cursor jumps |
| "comment this" | Toggles comment |
| "duplicate line" | Line duplicated |
| "move this up" | Line moves up |
| "show errors" | Diagnostics panel |
| "rename to newName" | LSP rename |
Learn Vim Along the Way
Say "teach me vim" to enable narrated mode:
📚 Toggle comment (gcc)
📚 Indent line (>>)
📚 Jump to line (:50)
Trust Modes
| Mode | What it does | Say this |
|---|
| Guardian | Review every edit before applying | "be more careful" |
| Companion | Auto-apply with visual feedback | "I trust you" |
| Autopilot | Full speed, minimal UI | "just do it" |
Git Integration
"what changed?" → git status
"show diff" → git diff
"stage this" → git add
"commit: fix bug" → git commit -m "fix bug"
"who wrote this?" → git blame
Shell Aliases
After install, use nvc to launch:
nvc # nvim + Claude
nvc -c # continue last session
nvc --model opus # use Opus
nvco # shortcut for opus
