Lsp Setup

This automates the LSP configuration workflow you'd normally run with `npx cclsp@latest setup`, but honestly, you probably don't need it. The amplihack launcher already detects your project's languages and configures LSP automatically when Claude Code starts. Use this skill only when you need to troubleshoot broken code intelligence, force reconfiguration after manual changes, or add LSP support for newly added languages. It handles the three-layer setup (system binaries, Claude Code plugins, and project .env files) and supports 16 languages including Python, TypeScript, Rust, and Go. The `--status-only` flag is handy for diagnosing issues without changing anything.

LSP Auto-Configuration Skill

Manual control and troubleshooting for Language Server Protocol (LSP) configuration.

Important: LSP is Configured Automatically

You probably don't need this skill! LSP is configured automatically when you run amplihack claude.

When amplihack launches Claude Code, it automatically:

Detects programming languages in your project
Sets ENABLE_LSP_TOOL=1 environment variable
Installs required LSP plugins via Claude Code plugin marketplace
Configures project-specific settings in .env

You'll see: 📡 LSP: Detected 3 language(s): python, javascript... when amplihack starts Claude Code.

When to Use This Skill

Use /lsp-setup only when you need to:

Check Status: Verify LSP configuration is working (/lsp-setup --status-only)
Troubleshoot Issues: Diagnose why code intelligence isn't working
Force Reconfiguration: Rebuild LSP config after manual changes (/lsp-setup --force)
Add New Languages: Configure LSP for newly added languages

Don't use this skill if: LSP is already working! The automatic setup handles 99% of cases.
