## Installation

### Using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim)

```lua
{
  "cargdev/codetyper.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects",
    "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
  },
  cmd = { "Coder", "CoderOpen", "CoderToggle", "CoderAgent" },
  keys = {
    { "<leader>co", "<cmd>Coder open<cr>", desc = "Coder: Open" },
    { "<leader>ct", "<cmd>Coder toggle<cr>", desc = "Coder: Toggle" },
    { "<leader>ca", "<cmd>CoderAgentToggle<cr>", desc = "Coder: Agent" },
  },
  config = function()
    require("codetyper").setup({
      llm = {
        provider = "claude", -- or "openai", "gemini", "copilot", "ollama"
      },
    })
  end,
}
```

### Using [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)

```lua
use {
  "cargdev/codetyper.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("codetyper").setup()
  end,
}
```

---

## Quick Start

**1. Open a file and start Coder:**
```vim
:e src/utils.ts
:Coder open
```

**2. Write a prompt in the coder file (left panel):**
```typescript
/@ Create a function to validate email addresses
using regex, return boolean @/
```

**3. The LLM generates code and shows a diff for you to review**

**4. Use conflict resolution keymaps to accept/reject changes:**
- `ct` - Accept AI suggestion (theirs)
- `co` - Keep original code (ours)
- `cb` - Accept both versions
- `cn` - Delete both (none)

---

## Usage Guide

### Tag-Based Prompts

Write prompts using `/@` and `@/` tags:

```typescript
/@ Create a Button component with:
- variant: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'danger'
- size: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
Use Tailwind CSS for styling @/
```

### Prompt Types

| Keywords | Type | Behavior |
|----------|------|----------|
| `complete`, `finish`, `implement` | Complete | Replaces scope |
| `refactor`, `rewrite`, `simplify` | Refactor | Replaces code |
| `fix`, `debug`, `bug`, `error` | Fix | Fixes bugs |
| `add`, `create`, `generate` | Add | Inserts new code |
| `document`, `comment`, `jsdoc` | Document | Adds docs |
| `explain`, `what`, `how` | Explain | Shows explanation |

### Function Completion

When you write a prompt inside a function, the plugin detects the enclosing scope:

```typescript
function getUserById(id: number): User | null {
  /@ return the user from the database by id @/
}
```

---

## Conflict Resolution

When code is generated, it's shown as a git-style conflict for you to review:

```
<<<<<<< CURRENT
// Original code here
=======
// AI-generated code here
>>>>>>> INCOMING
```

### Visual Indicators

- **Green background**: Original (CURRENT) code
- **Blue background**: AI-generated (INCOMING) code
- **Virtual text hints**: Shows available keymaps

### Resolution Options

1. **Accept Current (`co`)**: Keep your original code
2. **Accept Incoming (`ct`)**: Use the AI suggestion
3. **Accept Both (`cb`)**: Keep both versions
4. **Accept None (`cn`)**: Delete the entire conflict

### Auto-Show Menu

When code is injected, a floating menu automatically appears. After resolving a conflict, the menu shows again for the next conflict.

Toggle auto-show: `:CoderConflictAutoMenu`

---

## Linter Validation

After accepting AI suggestions (`ct` or `cb`), the plugin:

1. **Saves the file** automatically
2. **Checks LSP diagnostics** for errors/warnings
3. **Offers to fix** lint errors with AI

### Configuration

```lua
-- In conflict.lua config
lint_after_accept = true,      -- Check linter after accepting
auto_fix_lint_errors = true,   -- Auto-queue fix without prompting
```

### Manual Commands

- `:CoderLintCheck` - Check current buffer
- `:CoderLintFix` - Queue AI fix for errors
- `:CoderLintQuickfix` - Show in quickfix list

---

## Logs Panel

Real-time visibility into LLM operations:

```vim
:CoderLogs
```

Shows:
- Generation requests and responses
- Token usage
- Queue status
- Errors and warnings

---

## Cost Tracking

Track LLM API costs across sessions:

```vim
:CoderCost
```

Features:
- Session and all-time statistics
- Per-model breakdown
- Pricing for 50+ models
- Persistent history in `.coder/cost_history.json`

---

## Agent Mode

Autonomous coding assistant with tool access:

### Available Tools

- **read_file**: Read file contents
- **edit_file**: Edit files with find/replace
- **write_file**: Create or overwrite files
- **bash**: Execute shell commands

### Using Agent Mode

1. Open: `:CoderAgent` or `<leader>ca`
2. Describe your task
3. Agent uses tools autonomously
4. Review changes in conflict mode

## Health Check

```vim
:checkhealth codetyper
```
