What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of missing or inadequate code intelligence (go-to-definition, find references, hover, and type information) when no LSP server is configured for your project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detect OS and install the right LSP server for the programming language(s) you choose.
  • Generate correct Copilot CLI JSON configuration for either user-level or repo-level scope.
  • Merge safely into existing configs so you add/update only the intended language server entry.
  • Verification guidance to confirm the binary is on PATH and that Copilot CLI can load the new configuration.

### Quick Start

Ask the AI to set up LSP for TypeScript in your repo for Copilot CLI and ensure the configuration is created as repo-level config.
