# 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.

## Overview

The LSP Setup skill provides manual control over the same LSP auto-configuration that happens automatically at launch. It supports 16 popular programming languages out of the box and gives you direct access to configuration, status checking, and troubleshooting.

## What LSP Provides to You

When LSP is properly configured, Claude Code gains powerful code intelligence capabilities that enhance the AI's understanding of your codebase:

### Real-Time Code Intelligence

**Type Information** - Claude can see the exact types of variables, functions, and classes:
```python
# Claude can hover over 'user' and see: Type: User (class from models.py)
user = get_current_user()
```

**Go to Definition** - Claude can jump to where symbols are defined:
```python
# Claude can navigate from 'authenticate()' call to its definition in auth.py
result = auth
