A Neovim chat interface for AI agents that works with any provider supporting the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
Agentic.nvim is a Neovim plugin that provides a chat interface for AI assistants through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). It connects to any ACP-compatible provider like Claude, Gemini, Codex, and others directly within Neovim, offering the same performance as using their official CLIs. The plugin focuses on being a transparent interface without hidden prompts, allowing seamless integration with existing terminal configurations and authentication.
Neovim users (version 0.11.0 or higher) who already use ACP-compatible AI assistants via CLI and want to integrate them directly into their editor workflow. This includes developers who frequently interact with AI for coding assistance, debugging, or project discussions within their development environment.
Developers choose Agentic.nvim because it requires zero configuration for authentication, leveraging existing terminal setups without needing API keys. Its unique selling point is full session interoperability—conversations can be started in Neovim and continued in the terminal (or vice versa) without losing context, thanks to native ACP provider session management.

Supports runtime rotation between sidebar and panel layouts, shown in the showcase videos, allowing users to adapt the interface to their workspace needs.
Requires separate installation and management of ACP provider CLIs, which varies by provider and adds setup complexity, as admitted in the 'Requirements' section for security reasons.
Features like pasting images from clipboard depend on third-party plugins like img-clip.nvim and system tools, introducing additional setup and potential compatibility issues.
Only works with ACP-compatible providers, excluding other AI tools or custom models that don't support this protocol, potentially locking users into a specific ecosystem.
