| 23 | +1. INTRODUCTION *silkcircuit-introduction* |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +SilkCircuit is a vibrant Neovim theme featuring electric purples, hot pinks, |
| 26 | +and glowing cyan accents. Designed for developers who want their editor to |
| 27 | +match their personality - bold, expressive, and unapologetically colorful. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Key features: |
| 30 | +- Lightning-fast performance (<5ms load time) |
| 31 | +- Three variants: neon (default), vibrant, soft |
| 32 | +- 40+ auto-detected plugin integrations |
| 33 | +- WCAG AA contrast compliance |
| 34 | +- Persistent user preferences |
| 35 | +- Glow mode for extra visual impact |
| 36 | + |

| 297 | +8. TROUBLESHOOTING *silkcircuit-troubleshooting* |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +Run health check: >vim |
| 300 | + :checkhealth silkcircuit |
| 301 | +< |
| 302 | + |
| 303 | +Common Issues ~ |
| 304 | + |
| 305 | +Theme not loading properly ~ |
| 306 | + 1. Ensure you have Neovim 0.8.0 or later |
| 307 | + 2. Check that termguicolors is enabled: >vim |
| 308 | + :set termguicolors |
| 309 | +< |
| 310 | + 3. Verify installation path is correct |
| 311 | + |
| 312 | +Colors look wrong ~ |
| 313 | + 1. Your terminal must support true colors |
| 314 | + 2. Check terminal color settings |
| 315 | + 3. Try different terminal emulators |
| 316 | + |
| 317 | +Performance issues ~ |
| 318 | + 1. Run :SilkCircuitCompile to enable caching |
| 319 | + 2. Check :checkhealth for warnings |
| 320 | + 3. Disable unused integrations |
| 321 | + |
| 322 | +Plugin not themed ~ |
| 323 | + 1. Check if plugin is detected: >vim |
| 324 | + :SilkCircuitIntegrations |
| 325 | +< |
| 326 | + 2. Ensure plugin loads before colorscheme |
| 327 | + 3. Report missing integrations on GitHub |
