99 brings project search and AI edits into Neovim

ThePrimeagen’s 99 connects Neovim to coding-agent CLI backends. Its search operation returns file locations and notes in the quickfix list; another operation applies a prompt to selected code. The project is moving toward ongoing task workflows while keeping the programmer in the editor. It remains beta, with API changes explicitly flagged in the README.

ThePrimeagen

Why it matters

An example of agent interaction designed around an existing editor and the programmer’s control of the task.

More context

Try only if a Neovim workflow interests you. Setup requires plugin configuration and a supported AI CLI backend; OpenCode is the documented default. Start with a bounded search task and inspect its results before exploring edit operations.

Keep in mind

The README explicitly labels the project beta and warns about API changes. Backend authentication and usage costs are separate considerations. Not installed or tested here; exact publication date unknown.
