    A big part of 'project awareness' implies (to me at least!) that a project is organized in some meaningful way: test/view/model/service/domain files all relate to one another by their naming conventions and location in the project tree.When I start/join a project I look for documentation of the project's structure (or document it myself!). Then for vim:- use https://github.com/embear/vim-localvimrc - drop a .vimrc in the project so I can tweak vim to suit the project.

    Looks nice. I've been a https://github.com/embear/vim-localvimrc for a long time, and it also provides the secure features you mention. The sole upper edge you got for me is by supporting lua configs it seems.

    This is pretty much the last one, but with available commands. One I find particularly useful is LocalVimRCCleanup. I'm not sure how common of a use-case this is, but AutoSource stores the hashes of each file you approved, and a common command I run while testing is rm ~/.autosource_hashdir/* :p

    Nice video. I have a similar approach for isolating project specific commands and configurations. I may borrow your idea for a project specific menu to run tasks. For a project dedicated vimrc I use embear/vim-localvimrc for a few years because it has auto discovery and auto change directory for a project, and require confirmation for loading the vimrc file.
