LSP Analysis Skill

IntelliSense Designed for Coding Agent

Check our website!

This agent skill equips AI agents with the Language Server Agent Protocol (LSAP), enabling them to navigate, understand, and analyze codebases with the same fidelity as a human developer using VS Code.

📦 Installation

😎 Copy the following prompt to your agent and let it do all the heavy lifting for you:

Please follow these steps to install this skill:

1. Identify what AI agent tool you are (e.g., Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode, etc.).
2. Determine the correct installation directory for your tool:
   - Claude Code: `~/.claude/skills/`
   - Gemini: `~/.gemini/skills/`
   - Codex: `~/.codex/skills/`
   - OpenCode: `~/.config/opencode/skill/`
   - Other tools:
     1. Search online to determine if your tool supports agent skills from `agentskills.io`.
     2. If supported, check your tool's documentation to get the skill directory.
3. Download the latest release and unzip it into that directory.

   For example, if you are Claude Code:

   ```bash
   # Create directory if it doesn't exist
   mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/lsp-code-analysis

    # Download and unzip the latest release
    TMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
    curl -sSL https://github.com/lsp-client/lsp-skill/releases/latest/download/lsp-code-analysis.zip -o "$TMP_DIR/lsp-code-analysis.zip"
    unzip -o "$TMP_DIR/lsp-code-analysis.zip" -d ~/.claude/skills/
    rm -rf "$TMP_DIR"
   ```

⚡ Capabilities

The lsp-code-analysis skill provides compiler-accurate code understanding that surpasses text-based search:

• 🔍 Semantic Navigation: Jump to definitions, find references, locate implementations - understands code structure, not just text patterns.
• 🏷️ Language-Aware: Distinguishes between variables, functions, classes, types - eliminates false positives from text search.
• 🔗 Cross-File Intelligence: Trace dependencies, refactor safely across entire codebase - knows what imports what.
• 📘 Type-Aware: Get precise type information, signatures, documentation - without reading implementation code.
• 🗺️ Symbol Outline: Generate high-level structural maps of files to understand code without reading full implementations.

🚀 Getting Started

How it Works

This skill wraps the lsp command line tool, which acts as a bridge between the agent and standard Language Servers (like basedpyright, ``typescript-language-server, rust-analyzer`).

When an agent invokes this skill:

1. Intelligent Locating: The skill converts fuzzy intents (e.g., "find the process function") into precise file coordinates using LSAP's anchoring mechanism.
2. Server Management: It automatically manages the lifecycle of background language servers.
3. Cognitive Snapshots: It returns code context in optimized Markdown formats designed for LLM reasoning (Progressive Disclosure).

🌐 Supported Languages

This skill currently provides out-of-the-box support for the following languages:

More language support coming very very soon!
