Neogen is a Neovim plugin written in Lua that generates code annotations (docstrings/comments) for functions, classes, types, and files using Tree-sitter. It supports multiple languages and annotation conventions, with cursor jumping inside inserted annotations.

Use cases

• generate docstrings for functions in neovim
• auto-generate code annotations with one keybind
• add jsdoc-style comments to my code
• generate python docstrings automatically
• create class and file annotations in multiple languages
• customize annotation templates for my team's conventions

When to choose

• you use Neovim and want fast, customizable annotation generation
• you work across multiple languages and annotation styles
• you want Tree-sitter-based accuracy for locating functions and classes

When to avoid

• you don't use Neovim
• your language or annotation convention is unsupported
• you need an IDE-integrated documentation generator outside the terminal
