# Neovim Configuration System Patterns

## Architecture Overview

### Directory Structure
```
.
├── init.lua              # Main entry point
├── lua/
│   ├── custom/          # Custom configurations
│   │   └── plugins/     # Plugin-specific settings
│   └── kickstart/       # Core functionality
│       └── plugins/     # Plugin management
```

## Design Patterns

### Plugin Management
- Module-based plugin organization
- Lazy loading for performance
- Plugin-specific configuration isolation
- Conditional plugin loading

### Configuration Patterns
1. Modular Configuration
   - Separate files for different concerns
   - Clear dependency management
   - Isolated plugin configurations

2. Event-Driven Setup
   - Lazy plugin loading
   - Event-based initialization
   - Conditional feature enabling

3. Error Handling
   - Protected calls for plugin setup
   - Fallback configurations
   - Clear error reporting

## Component Relationships
1. Core System
   - init.lua loads core modules
   - Establishes basic editor settings
   - Sets up plugin management

2. Plugin System
   - Managed through lua/custom/plugins
   - Isolated plugin configurations
   - Dependency handling

3. Debug Integration
   - Separate debug configuration
   - Language-specific adapters
   - Custom debug commands

## Technical Decisions
1. Lua-based configuration for:
   - Better performance
   - More powerful customization
   - Cleaner syntax

2. Modular structure for:
   - Easier maintenance
   - Better organization
   - Simplified updates
