[!NOTE]
β οΈ This repository is still a work in progress, as large parts of the code are still being simplified and restructured. It is based on the brilliant work gp.nvim by https://github.com/Robitx.
I started this repository because a perplexity subscription provides $5 of API credits every month for free. Instead of letting them go to waste, I modified my favorite GPT plugin, gp.nvim, to meet my needs - a new Neovim plugin was born! π₯
Unlike gp.nvim, parrot.nvim prioritizes a seamless out-of-the-box experience by simplifying functionality and focusing solely on text generation, excluding the integration of DALLE and Whisper.
- Persistent conversations as markdown files stored within the Neovim standard path or a user-defined location
- Custom hooks for inline text editing with predefined prompts
- Support for multiple providers:
- Anthropic API
- perplexity.ai API
- OpenAI API
- Mistral API
- Local and offline serving via ollama
- Custom agent definitions to determine specific prompt and API parameter combinations, similar to GPTs
- Flexible support for providing API credentials from various sources, such as environment variables, bash commands, and your favorite password manager CLI
- Provide repository-specific instructions with a
.parrot.md
file using the commandPrtContext
- No autocompletion and no hidden requests in the background to analyze your files
Seamlessly switch between providers and agents.
Trigger code completions based on comments.
Let the parrot fix your bugs.

Below are the available commands that can be configured as keybindings. These commands are included in the default setup. Additional useful commands are implemented through hooks (see my example configuration).
Command | Description |
---|---|
PrtNew |
open a new chat |
PrtProvider <provider> |
switch the provider (empty arg triggers fzf) |
PrtAgent <agent> |
switch the agent (empty arg triggers fzf) |
PrtChatToggle <target> |
toggle chat window |
PrtInfo |
print plugin config |
PrtContext |
edits the local context file |
PrtAsk |
ask the selected agent a single question |
PrtChatFinder |
fuzzy search chat files using fzf |
PrtChatPaste <target> |
paste visual selection into the latest chat |
The following commands can be triggered with visual selections.
Command | Description |
---|---|
PrtChatNew <target> |
paste visual selection into new chat (defaults to toggle_target ) |
PrtChatToggle <target> |
paste visual selection into new chat (defaults to toggle_target ) |
PrtImplement |
implements selected comment/instruction |
The following commands are available within the chat files.
Command | Description |
---|---|
PrtChatDelete |
delete the present chat file (requires confirmation) |
PrtChatRespond |
trigger chat respond |
PrtAsk |
ask the selected agent a single question |
PrtStop |
interrupt ongoing respond |

We provide two types of agents that might need different system prompts and API parameters.
To make a new chat agent available, one simply adds a new entry to the list chat
or to command
, respectively.
require("parrot").setup {
-- ...
agents = {
chat = {
{
name = "CodeLlama",
model = { model = "codellama", temperature = 1.5, top_p = 1, num_ctx = 8192, min_p = 0.05 },
system_prompt = "Help me!",
provider = "ollama",
}
}
},
-- ...
}
require("parrot").setup {
-- ...
hooks = {
-- PrtAsk simply ask a question that should be answered short and precisely.
Ask = function(parrot, params)
local template = [[
In light of your existing knowledge base, please generate a response that
is succinct and directly addresses the question posed. Prioritize accuracy
and relevance in your answer, drawing upon the most recent information
available to you. Aim to deliver your response in a concise manner,
focusing on the essence of the inquiry.
Question: {{command}}
]]
local agent = parrot.get_command_agent()
parrot.logger.info("Asking agent: " .. agent.name)
parrot.Prompt(params, parrot.ui.Target.popup, "π€ Ask ~ ", agent.model, template, "", agent.provider)
end,
}
-- ...
}
Users can utilize the following placeholders in their templates to inject specific content into the user messages:
Placeholder | Content |
---|---|
{{selection}} |
Current visual selection |
{{filetype}} |
Filetype of the current buffer |
{{filepath}} |
Full path of the current file |
{{filecontent}} |
Full content of the current buffer |
Below is an example of how to use these placeholders in a completion hook, which receives the full file context and the selected code snippet as input.
require("parrot").setup {
-- ...
hooks = {
CompleteFullContext = function(prt, params)
local template = [[
I have the following code from {{filename}}:
```{{filetype}}
{{filecontent}}
```
Please look at the following section specifically:
```{{filetype}}
{{selection}}
```
Please finish the code above carefully and logically.
Respond just with the snippet of code that should be inserted.
]]
local agent = prt.get_command_agent()
prt.Prompt(params, prt.ui.Target.append, nil, agent.model, template, agent.system_prompt, agent.provider)
end,
}
-- ...
}
- In case of a corrupted state, simply remove the file
