lsp-investigate SKILL.md skillB

lsp-investigate from karellen/karellen-lsp-mcp is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add karellen/karellen-lsp-mcp/lsp-investigate@git:20260410.725370b

Pins git:20260410.725370b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Investigate code using LSP tools. Register a project, then use definitions, references, call hierarchies, type hierarchies, hover, and diagnostics to understand code structure, trace bugs, and assess change impact.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# LSP Code Investigation

Use this skill when you need to understand code structure, trace bugs through call
chains, find all usages of a symbol, or check compiler diagnostics across a codebase.

## Prerequisites

- `karellen-lsp-mcp` must be installed and on PATH
- An LSP server for the target language on PATH:
  - **C/C++**: `clangd` — install via `pip install --user karellen-lsp-mcp[clangd]` or system package manager
  - **Java/Kotlin**: `jdtls` — install via `pip install --user karellen-lsp-mcp[jdtls]`
  - **Python**: `pyright` — install via `pip install --user karellen-lsp-mcp[pyright]`
  - **Rust**: `rust-analyzer` — install via `rustup component add rust-analyzer`
  - **All servers**: `pip install --user karellen-lsp-mcp[all]`

## Workflow

### 1. Register the Project

Optionally scan first to see what languages are present:

```
lsp_scan_languages(project_path="/path/to/project")
```

Then register:

```
lsp_register_project(project_path="/path/to/project")
```

Auto-detection identifies the language, build system, and LSP server configuration.
See `/karellen-lsp-mcp:lsp-register` for detailed registration options.

### 2. Understand a Symbol
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add karellen/karellen-lsp-mcp/lsp-investigate@sha256:c36d5126dbe066e1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260410.725370b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.

Audit of the latest version

B  16 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
  • fail: Frontmatter declares a name
  • pass: Frontmatter block present
  • pass: Frontmatter declares a description
  • pass: Size between 200 bytes and 200 KB (6470 bytes)
  • pass: No zero-width or bidi control characters
  • pass: No instruction hidden inside an HTML comment
  • pass: No link to an exfiltration or paste host
  • pass: No credential-shaped string
  • pass: No instruction to send local credentials anywhere
  • pass: No text hidden with inline styles
  • pass: No prompt-injection phrasing
  • pass: No curl or wget piped into a shell
  • pass: No recursive delete of root, home or parent
  • pass: No instruction to read or print local credentials
  • pass: No base64 blob over 200 characters
  • pass: No link to a raw IP address
  • pass: No script tag

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
