The plugin includes a feature to automatically check for updates to the llm
command-line tool upon startup.
auto_update_cli = true
setting, the plugin will check if the configured auto_update_interval_days
has passed since the last check.llm
CLI tool. The update mechanism tries common upgrade methods including uv tool upgrade llm
, pipx upgrade llm
, pip install --upgrade llm
(and python -m pip install --upgrade llm
), and brew upgrade llm
to keep the tool current.This helps ensure your llm
tool stays up-to-date with the latest features and fixes.

-- Basic prompt
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>lp', '<Cmd>LLM<Space>', { desc = "LLM Prompt" })
-- Explain current buffer
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>le', '<Cmd>LLM explain<CR>', { desc = "Explain Code" })
-- Prompt with visual selection
vim.keymap.set('v', '<leader>ls', '<Cmd>LLM selection<CR>', { desc = "LLM Selection" })
-- Interactive fragments
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>lf', '<Cmd>LLM fragments<CR>', { desc = "LLM with Fragments" })
The plugin includes a test suite using busted. To run the tests, you first need to install the test dependencies:
sudo luarocks install busted
sudo luarocks install luassert
Then, you can run the tests:
# Run all tests
make test
# Run a specific test file
make test file=init_spec.lua
Tests cover:
