SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides advanced semantic code analysis capabilities, enabling developers to understand and refactor codebases more effectively and safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Code Navigation: Jump to definitions, find references, and explore implementations.
  • Symbol Search: Quickly locate functions, classes, and variables across files or the entire workspace.
  • Safe Refactoring: Preview and apply changes like renaming symbols with confidence.
  • Use Case: When working on an unfamiliar project, use this Skill to understand how a specific function is used throughout the codebase by finding all its references and then navigating to its definition.

Quick Start

Use the lsp-client skill to find all references for the symbol at line 10, character 5 in the file 'src/main.py'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find all references to a function across my codebase?▼

To find all references to a function, you can use semantic code analysis to locate symbols across files or the entire workspace. This enables safe refactoring by showing exactly where variables and classes are used.

Can I use LSP for code navigation and jumping to definitions in Python?▼

Yes, you can use LSP for code navigation in Python to jump to definitions and explore implementations. It provides semantic analysis through configured language servers, enabling precise navigation across development environments.

Does semantic code analysis work with Rust, TypeScript, Go, and Java?▼

Semantic code analysis supports various language servers and client configurations for Python, Rust, TypeScript, Go, and Java. This allows you to perform symbol search and refactoring operations across these different programming languages.

What is the best way to safely rename a symbol across multiple files?▼

The best way to safely rename a symbol is to use semantic refactoring operations that preview and apply changes with confidence. This leverages Language Server Protocol clients to ensure all instances are updated accurately across the codebase.

How do I locate specific classes and variables within an unfamiliar project?▼

To locate specific classes and variables in an unfamiliar project, use symbol search to quickly find functions and structures across files. This helps you understand how specific components are used throughout the codebase.
