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)
