SilkCircuit in Neovim with Neo-tree

๐ŸŽญ What Is SilkCircuit?

One palette, one semantic system, five intensity variants, every tool in your workflow. SilkCircuit themes editors, terminals, browsers, system monitors, and CLI tools with consistent colors and WCAG AA contrast ratios across the board.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Troubleshooting

๐Ÿค” Neovim theme not loading? Requires Neovim 0.8.0+ with vim.opt.termguicolors = true. Run :checkhealth silkcircuit.

๐ŸŽญ Colors look wrong? Your terminal must support true colors (24-bit). Try a different terminal emulator if unsure.

๐ŸŽ๏ธ Performance issues? Run :SilkCircuitCompile to regenerate the bytecode cache.

๐Ÿ’ญ Need help? Open an issue with your config and error output.
