lua

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive expertise in Lua programming, with a strong focus on idiomatic patterns, performance optimization, and its integration with Neovim. It helps users write efficient, clean, and powerful Lua code, especially for extending Neovim, by clarifying core concepts and best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Idiomatic Lua Patterns: Understand and apply best practices for tables, metatables, functions, closures, and module systems.
• Performance Optimization: Learn LuaJIT tips, FFI usage, and garbage collection avoidance for high-performance Lua applications.
• Neovim Integration: Master vim.api, vim.opt, and vim.keymap.set for configuring Neovim, creating custom commands, and automating editor workflows.
• Use Case: Develop a custom Neovim plugin in Lua that integrates with an external API, ensuring it follows performance best practices and uses idiomatic Lua patterns for maintainability.

Quick Start

Use the lua skill to explain how to create a simple read-only table using metatables and provide a code example.
