# Hobs.nvim

In English and in broader Northern European folklore a hob (short for hobgoblin)
is a type of small household spirit. Hobs are often portrayed as helpful,
domestic beings which quietly assist with chores around the house in exchange
for small offerings or simply out of habit.

In this project, the name is used metaphorically: small, invisible workers that
live inside your editor, quietly helping with tasks while you continue your own
work.

## Little AI Helpers Which Work Along Side You In Neovim

Most coding agents today follow a serial workflow. Typically something like:

1. Human requests the AI do something
1. The AI takes control of the repository
1. Human waits for the AI to finish
1. AI finishes and returns control of the repository.
1. Human continues with the work

`hobs.nvim` makes this flow concurrent. Now, the human can request an AI agent
(A "hob"). The hob can do some simple task in the background, updating the live
buffer as it goes along all while the human continues with his work.
