SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of getting full IDE-like language support in a LazyVim-based Neovim setup—so you can reliably get LSP features, diagnostics, completion, formatting, and (when needed) tests and debug workflows for any new language or build system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end LazyVim language setup: plans, config changes, verification, and documentation tailored to your existing LazyVim extras and plugin wiring.
  • Ecosystem-accurate integration: researches the current LazyVim extras, Mason package names, lspconfig schemas, formatter/linter options, and required adapters so the setup matches today’s tooling.
  • Bazel-first support: treats Bazel integration as a first-class deliverable (e.g., Bazel build-file LSPs and language bridges), not an afterthought, including guidance for correct project roots and cache staleness.
  • Real-project verification: validates that the correct LSP attaches on your actual repository and confirms behavior with LspInfo, workspace/symbol queries, completion, and diagnostic checks before declaring success.

Quick Start

Use the adding-nvim-language-support skill when you want to set up Neovim support for a new language by telling it what language or build system you are adding, and then have it research, implement, verify on your real project, document changes, and reload running sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions about adding-nvim-language-support

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add LSP language support to a LazyVim Neovim configuration?▼

Adding LSP support to LazyVim requires selecting the correct LSP server, configuring Mason for installation, and wiring formatting, linting, and debugging adapters into your existing plugin setup. This configuration provides IDE-grade completion and diagnostics.

How do I configure Bazel language server support in Neovim?▼

Configuring Bazel support in Neovim involves treating Bazel build-file LSPs and language bridges as first-class integrations. You must ensure correct project roots are set and manage cache staleness or restart running sessions to maintain accurate build system diagnostics.

Can I get full IDE parity with diagnostics and debugging in LazyVim for a new language?▼

Yes, you can achieve IDE parity in LazyVim by integrating LSP servers, formatting, linting, and test or debug workflows for the specified language. This setup matches current ecosystem tooling to provide robust completion and diagnostic features.

What is the best way to verify that a Neovim LSP is attached and working on a real project?▼

The best way to verify an LSP is attached is to validate behavior on your actual repository using LspInfo, workspace symbol queries, completion checks, and diagnostic validations. Confirming these behaviors ensures the language setup functions correctly before declaring success.

Does adding language support to Neovim require ecosystem research for Mason and lspconfig schemas?▼

Yes, adding language support requires ecosystem research at invoke time to validate current LazyVim extras, Mason package names, lspconfig schemas, and formatter options. This research ensures your configuration accurately matches today's tooling and adapter requirements.

Why does my Neovim language setup show stale diagnostics after updating Bazel build files?▼

Stale diagnostics after updating Bazel build files often occur due to cache staleness or incorrect project roots. You need to apply correct Bazel integration guidance, clear caches, and reload running Neovim sessions to refresh LSP behavior accurately.
