wtf.nvim enhances the Neovim diagnostic experience by providing AI-powered explanations and web search capabilities for LSP-generated messages. It targets developers using Neovim who want to quickly understand and resolve code errors and warnings without leaving their editor. The plugin streamlines debugging by integrating with LLMs like ChatGPT and popular search engines.

How It Works

The plugin leverages Neovim's LSP diagnostics, sending the diagnostic message, code context, file type, and severity to configured endpoints. For AI debugging, it uses the OpenAI API to query models like gpt-3.5-turbo for explanations and solutions. For web searches, it intelligently filters local environment-specific strings from diagnostic messages to improve search result relevance across platforms like Google, Stack Overflow, and GitHub.
