Language Server Protocol
Expert skill for implementing Language Server Protocol servers with full IDE feature support
Best use case
Language Server Protocol is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Expert skill for implementing Language Server Protocol servers with full IDE feature support
Teams using Language Server Protocol should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Language Server Protocol Skill
## Overview
Expert skill for implementing Language Server Protocol servers with full IDE feature support.
## Capabilities
- Implement JSON-RPC transport layer
- Handle document synchronization (full and incremental)
- Implement semantic tokens for syntax highlighting
- Implement completion with resolve
- Implement hover information with type signatures
- Implement go-to-definition/references/implementations
- Implement document symbols and workspace symbols
- Implement rename with cross-file support
- Implement code actions and quick fixes
- Implement signature help
## Target Processes
- lsp-server-implementation.js
- debugger-adapter-development.js
- error-message-enhancement.js
- semantic-analysis.js
## Dependencies
- LSP specification
- vscode-languageserver libraries
- tower-lsp (Rust)
## Usage Guidelines
1. **Transport**: Start with stdio transport, add TCP/websocket as needed
2. **Incremental Sync**: Implement incremental document sync for performance
3. **Caching**: Cache analysis results and invalidate on document changes
4. **Error Tolerance**: Handle malformed documents gracefully
5. **Progress**: Report progress for long-running operations
