SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Navigating large codebases is slow and error-prone when relying on text search; this skill uses LSP to provide semantic navigation, symbol discovery, and call-hierarchy insights to speed up understanding and editing tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic symbol navigation: go to definitions, usages, and documentation with accuracy across languages.
  • Reference and call hierarchy insights: view callers and callee relationships to understand code flow.
  • Workspace-wide symbol search and hover information: quickly locate symbols and view type/docs without leaving the editor.

Quick Start

Place your cursor on a symbol and request its definition or references to see semantic navigation results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find symbol definitions and references across a codebase without using grep?▼

Semantic navigation uses LSP to resolve symbol definitions and find references across a codebase, providing language-aware accuracy that grep-based text search cannot achieve.

What is LSP semantic navigation and when do I need it for code exploration?▼

LSP semantic navigation is the process of using a Language Server Protocol to explore codebases. You need it to accurately locate symbol definitions, usages, and call hierarchies during development.

Can I view hover information and call hierarchy insights across different programming languages?▼

Yes, this LSP navigation approach applies across multiple languages to provide hover information, type documentation, and caller-callee relationship insights for semantic code exploration.

What's the best way to search for workspace symbols during development?▼

The best way to search for workspace symbols is using LSP workspaceSymbol operations, which locate symbols semantically rather than relying on text matching, ensuring accurate discovery.

Why does text search fail to find accurate code references in large codebases?▼

Text search fails because it lacks semantic context, causing false positives. LSP navigation solves this by applying language-aware symbol resolution to find accurate references and definitions.
