## What it is
A Neovim plugin that displays your current code context (like enclosing functions and classes) in the statusline or winbar using LSP document symbols. It provides IDE-style breadcrumbs navigation within the editor.

## Use cases
- show current function context in neovim statusline
- add breadcrumbs to neovim like an IDE
- display enclosing class and method in winbar
- navigate code context with LSP document symbols
- customize statusline with code location icons

## When to choose
- you use Neovim with LSP and want IDE-like context display
- you want a lightweight statusline/winbar breadcrumb component
- you already use nvim-lspconfig and want richer navigation cues

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Neovim
- your LSP servers lack documentSymbol support
- you need full file outline navigation rather than a context indicator

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cli
- tags: neovim, lsp, statusline, winbar, breadcrumbs, document-symbols, lua
