lsp-setup

The lsp-setup skill provides a comprehensive environment for managing Language Server Protocol (LSP) integrations. It serves as a configuration specialist designed to ensure optimal code intelligence across diverse project languages including TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, and more. By automating the detection of project languages and the installation of necessary binaries via official Anthropic plugins or system package managers, it eliminates the manual friction of setting up IDE-like features within your command-line environment. This skill is intended for developers who require advanced code navigation, symbol searching, and real-time error diagnostics without switching to traditional heavyweight IDEs.

• Automatically detects project languages using file extension and directory analysis.

• Handles installation and configuration of language servers like pyright, gopls, rust-analyzer, and clangd.

• Integrates with Anthropic Claude Code plugins for verified, pre-configured LSP support.

• Supports critical code intelligence operations: goToDefinition, findReferences, hover documentation, and symbol indexing.

• Provides a structured workspace configuration via .claude/lsp-config.json for persistent, repeatable performance.

• Includes fallback support for native package managers (npm, pip, brew, cargo) when specific plugins are unavailable.

• Use this skill when initiating a new project or debugging code intelligence issues in an existing repository.

• Always prioritize official plugin commands (e.g., /plugin install) over manual system installations to ensure compatibility.

• Ensure the environment has necessary system dependencies (like Node.js, Python, or Xcode tools) before initiating the setup.

• The skill will perform deep analysis to identify the correct language server mapping and log all installation results for transparency.

• Maintain consistent configurations to prevent conflicts between multiple installed language servers in large monorepos.
