Fast file-scoped symbol analysis — find all usages of a symbol within the current file, list all symbols defined in the file, and get type info at a position. Use when you need local-scope analysis without a workspace-wide search.

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.

# lsp-local-symbols

File-scoped symbol analysis using the language server index. Faster than
workspace-wide search for questions about a single file: what symbols are
defined here, where is this symbol used within the file, and what type does it
have.

Read-only — does not modify any files.

## When to use

- "Where is `x` used in this file?" — use `get_document_highlights`
- "What functions and types are defined in this file?" — use `list_symbols`
- "What type does this symbol have?" — use `inspect_symbol`
- Reviewing a file before editing — get the full symbol map first
- Local refactor scoping — confirm a symbol is only used in one place before inlining it

Use `/lsp-impact` instead when you need workspace-wide callers and cross-file
references. Use `/lsp-dead-code` when auditing exported symbols for zero callers.

## When NOT to use

`get_document_highlights` is file-scoped by design — it only finds usages within
the open file. If a symbol is used across multiple files, this skill will not
find those. Use `find_references` (via `/lsp-impact`) for cross-file analysis.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add blackwell-systems/agent-lsp/lsp-local-symbols@sha256:8be4effe194353bc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.5790d48, 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.
