# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This is an abstract base class for editor-specific coverage report modules (Vim, Nvim). It provides the shared report() method that constructs template variables and processes the editor-specific template.

Subclasses must implement:

[template\_name](#template_name)

Returns the template name (e.g., "vim", "nvim").

[templates](#templates)

Returns a hashref of template name to template content.

[output\_message](#output_message)

Returns the success message to display (receives output path as argument).
