avante.nvim is a Neovim plugin designed to emulate the behaviour of the Cursor AI IDE. It provides users with AI-driven code suggestions and the ability to apply these recommendations directly to their source files with minimal effort.

• AI-Powered Code Assistance: Interact with AI to ask questions about your current code file and receive intelligent suggestions for improvement or modification.
• One-Click Application: Quickly apply the AI's suggested changes to your source code with a single command, streamlining the editing process and saving time.

For building binary if you wish to build from source, then cargo is required. Otherwise curl and tar will be used to get prebuilt binary from GitHub.

Given its early stage, avante.nvim currently supports the following basic functionalities:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key

export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key

1. Open a code file in Neovim.
2. Use the :AvanteAsk command to query the AI about the code.
3. Review the AI's suggestions.
4. Apply the recommended changes directly to your code with a simple command or key binding.

Note: The plugin is still under active development, and both its functionality and interface are subject to significant changes. Expect some rough edges and instability as the project evolves.

The following key bindings are available for use with avante.nvim:

See highlights.lua for more information

By default, avante.nvim provides three different modes to interact with: planning, editing, and suggesting, followed with three different prompts per mode.

• planning: Used with require("avante").toggle() on sidebar
• editing: Used with require("avante").edit() on selection codeblock
• suggesting: Used with require("avante").get_suggestion():suggest() on Tab flow.

Users can customize the system prompts via Config.system_prompt. We recommend calling this in a custom Autocmds depending on your need:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
  pattern = "ToggleMyPrompt"
  callback = function() require("avante.config").override({system_prompt = "MY CUSTOM SYSTEM PROMPT"}) end,
})

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>am", function() vim.api.nvim_exec_autocmds("User", { pattern = "ToggleMyPrompt" }) end, { desc = "avante: toggle my prompt" })

If one wish to custom prompts for each mode, avante.nvim will check for project root based on the given buffer whether it contains the following patterns: *.{mode}.avanterules.

The rules for root hierarchy:

• lsp workspace folders
• lsp root_dir
• root pattern of filename of the current buffer
• root pattern of cwd
