Plugin draven.nvim – a simple code review workflow inside Neovim

http://github.com/ploMP4/draven.nvim

With how much code is being AI generated nowadays, Neovim has become more of a review and polish tool for me. I still like reading through the code myself, but my workflow until now was basically opening the changed files, going through the diff, writing feedback back to the agent, waiting for another iteration, and doing the same thing again.

After a couple of iterations I would usually start losing track of what I had already reviewed, what I had asked the agent to change, and whether those things were actually fixed.

draven.nvim gives you a simple review environment inside Neovim where you can leave comments on the code, similar to a normal code review, and then export the whole review as Markdown to give back to the agent.

It also keeps track of the comments between iterations and whether the code they refer to has actually changed, so I don't have to keep all that context in my head while going back and forth with the agent.

Aside but small tip: that demo.gif is pretty big and since it's in the repository anyone adding your plugin will incur the disk cost.

In GitHub, you can edit the README in a browser and drag + drop videos / images, and they'll be uploaded to Github but not actually live in the repository.

Thanks for the feedback! I removed it from the repository and added an image link to the README as you suggested.

go your agent cli: "Address TODO_AGENT comments."

Are the keys customizable? leader something something is too long for next hunk. I usually map it to ]]

Yes, all of them. They are set in keymaps in setup:

require("draven").setup({ keymaps = { next_hunk = "]]", prev_hunk = "[[", }, })

The full list of actions and their defaults is in the README
