nazozokc Neovim Configuration Guidelines
When to Use
- When adding or removing plugins with
lazy.nvim - When optimizing startup time
- When changing LSP, DAP, or formatter configuration
Basic Rules
- Config lives under
~/.config/nvim/: Managed via dotfiles repository - Be conscious of lazy.nvim event specification: Directly affects startup speed
- No duplicate configs: Before adding a plugin, confirm nothing already fills that role
Plugin Addition Checklist
- Check if a plugin with the same role already exists (e.g. formatters are unified under conform.nvim)
- Consider whether lazy loading via
event/ft/cmdis possible - Visual plugins should use
event = "VeryLazy" - After adding, verify startup time with
--startuptime

Notes
- Never call
require()outside ofconfig(it loads at startup) - DAP and git plugins are especially prone to duplication — check carefully
