## What it is
A Neovim plugin that displays the enclosing code context (functions, classes, blocks) at the top of the window using Tree-sitter parsers. It is a lightweight alternative to context.vim supporting dozens of languages.

## Use cases
- show current function context while scrolling in neovim
- sticky header showing class or function scope
- keep code context visible in long files
- treesitter-based context line in vim
- see which block I am inside while editing

## When to choose
- you use Neovim >= 0.9 with Tree-sitter parsers installed
- you want a lightweight, actively maintained context display
- you work in deeply nested code and lose track of scope

## When to avoid
- you use Vim or Neovim older than 0.9 without the compat tag
- your language's parser is unsupported or community-maintained and unstable
- you prefer full-file minimaps or other navigation aids
