benbrastmckie/nvim Configuration

The latex/context/project/ directory provides structured context files designed to assist in LaTeX document development. It is organized into three functional areas:

• patterns/: Contains templates and structural definitions for document organization and mathematical environments.
• standards/: Contains the style guide and notation conventions to ensure consistency.
• tools/: Contains technical references for the build toolchain and compilation processes.

The Deck Library is a collection of pre-built Slidev components designed for agent-driven pitch deck construction. Instead of generating slides from scratch, agents assemble presentations by selecting and combining building blocks from the library.

Key Concepts

• Agent Composition: Agents query the library to find appropriate items based on category, deck mode, slide type, or tags.
• Indexing: All library items are indexed in index.json for easy discovery.
• Seed-and-Runtime Pattern: The files in this library serve as the canonical "seed" copies. When the /deck command is used to build a presentation, the selected items are copied from this library into a separate runtime project directory. This allows the library to remain unchanged while the runtime project evolves.

The Typst Context directory provides structured resources for developing documents using Typst. It is organized into three main functional areas:

• patterns/: Contains reusable logic and structures such as theorem environments, cross-references, and diagrams.
• standards/: Defines the style guide and notation conventions to ensure document consistency.
• tools/: Provides guides for the compilation and build processes.

The Grant Writing extension provides structured support for the end-to-end lifecycle of research grant proposal development. It is designed to assist with funder research, narrative drafting, budget planning, and compliance verification.

Key Capabilities:

• Funder Research: Analyzing priorities, eligibility, and application formats.
• Proposal Drafting: Developing narrative sections using specialized templates.
• Budget Development: Creating line-item budgets paired with justification patterns.
• Review and Submission: Using checklists to ensure compliance and completeness.

The text/ directory provides specialized support for academic writing, mathematical notation, and technical documentation. The core modules include:

Document Formats

• vimtex.lua: Comprehensive LaTeX editing and compilation support.
• markdown-preview.lua: Live Markdown preview and export capabilities.
• jupyter/: Jupyter notebook editing and execution.

Programming Languages

• lean.lua: Lean theorem prover integration and mathematical notation.

The Email Extension provides an AI-assisted, safe, and auditable way to triage mailboxes (supporting Gmail and Logos/Protonmail-Bridge).

Core Capabilities:

• Read a census of senders and folders.
• Classify messages into buckets: propose-archive, propose-delete, keep, or unsure.
• Identify unsubscribe candidates.
• Execute approved actions (archive, delete, unsubscribe) only after human review and manifest confirmation.

Safety Model: Agents do not interact with himalaya, notmuch, or msmtp directly. Instead, they must use five specific nix-built wrapper binaries. Mutations are protected by a two-layer enforcement system: a mail-guard.sh PreToolUse hook and hash-verified wrapper binaries.

The LSP (Language Server Protocol) configuration provides intelligent code editing features including code completion, syntax highlighting, error detection, go-to-definition, find references, formatting, linting, and symbol search. It is composed of three core modules:

• blink-cmp.lua: The primary high-performance completion engine.
• lspconfig.lua: The base configuration for LSP servers using nvim-lspconfig.
• mason.lua: Manages the installation and updates of LSP servers, formatters, and linters via mason.nvim.
