lsprag-skills

Portable LSP code analysis for AI agents — build definition trees, retrieve source, trace dependencies, and deep-expand call graphs. Uses real language servers (no VS Code required).

What Is This?

A set of lsprag skills that give AI agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, etc.) a lsprag CLI for semantic code analysis:

Command	What it does
lsprag listSymbols	List all functions, classes, and symbols in a file
lsprag getDefinition	Get the full source of a symbol, or hover info for variables/constants
lsprag getTokens	Decompose a symbol into tokens and show where each is defined
lsprag getReference	Find all callers / usages of a symbol
lsprag callChain	Trace incoming call chain (who calls this, recursively)
lsprag deep-think	BFS expansion: retrieve source + deps for a symbol and all its transitive dependencies

Supported languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Python

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 20 and npm (required)
• Go (if analyzing Go code — needed to install gopls)
• Python 3 + pip (if analyzing Python code — needed to install pylsp)

Install

git clone https://github.com/Gwihwan-Go/lsprag-skills ~/.lsprag-skills
bash ~/.lsprag-skills/install.sh

Then open a new terminal (or run source ~/.bashrc / source ~/.zshrc).

Confirm it works:

lsprag --version

The installer handles everything in one step:

1. Installs npm dependencies
2. Creates the lsprag CLI symlink at ~/.local/bin/lsprag
3. Sets environment variables (LSPRAG_SKILLS_ROOT, LSPRAG_LSP_PROVIDER)
4. Installs LSP servers for detected languages:
   • TypeScript/JavaScript: typescript-language-server (via npm)
   • Go: gopls (via go install)
   • Python: pylsp (via pip)
5. Configures Claude Code / OpenCode (if present)

Install individual LSP servers

If you skipped a language or need to add one later:

bash ~/.lsprag-skills/scripts/install-lsp-go.sh      # gopls
bash ~/.lsprag-skills/scripts/install-lsp-ts.sh      # tsserver
bash ~/.lsprag-skills/scripts/install-lsp-python.sh  # pylsp

Verify

bash ~/.lsprag-skills/scripts/update.sh

This checks (but never installs) that everything is in place.

CLI Usage

listSymbols — File Overview

lsprag listSymbols --file "$(realpath src/server.ts)"

Symbols in src/server.ts:

Functions:
  handleRequest                             L3 (12 lines)
  parseBody                                 L30 (8 lines)

Constants:
  MAX_RETRIES                               L1 (1 lines)

getDefinition — Full Source or Type Info

Functions get full source; variables/constants get hover type info.

lsprag getDefinition --file "$(realpath src/server.ts)" --symbol handleRequest
lsprag getDefinition --file "$(realpath src/config.ts)" --symbol MAX_RETRIES

By call-site location (1-indexed line:col):

lsprag getDefinition --file "$(realpath src/server.ts)" --symbol parseBody --location 42:15

getTokens — Token Dependency Map

lsprag getTokens --file "$(realpath src/server.ts)" --symbol handleRequest

Tokens in 'handleRequest' (src/server.ts:15:10):

  L  16:C  7  parseBody    ->  src/server.ts:30:10
  L  17:C  3  sendResponse ->  src/server.ts:58:10
  L  17:C 16  formatJSON   ->  src/format.ts:3:10

getReference — Find All Callers

lsprag getReference --file "$(realpath src/server.ts)" --symbol handleRequest

callChain — Trace Incoming Call Chain

lsprag callChain --file "$(realpath src/server.ts)" --symbol handleRequest

Incoming calls to 'handleRequest':
handleRequest (src/server.ts:3)
└─ routeRequest (src/router.ts:15)
   └─ main (src/index.ts:8)

deep-think — Breadth-First Dependency Expansion

lsprag deep-think --file "$(realpath src/server.ts)" --symbol handleRequest --depth 2

Start at --depth 1 for initial exploration; increase for deeper understanding.

Tool Selection Guide

Goal	Use
What's in this file?	lsprag listSymbols
Read a function's full source	lsprag getDefinition
Inspect a constant or variable	lsprag getDefinition (hover mode)
Jump to definition from a call site	lsprag getDefinition --location <line>:<col>
What identifiers does a function depend on?	lsprag getTokens
Who calls this function?	lsprag getReference or lsprag callChain
Understand a complex function deeply	lsprag deep-think
Quick text search	grep -rn <name> . --include="*.ts"

Install for Claude Code

Option A: Shell alias (loads every session)

alias claude='claude --plugin-dir ~/.lsprag-skills'

Option B: Use once

claude --plugin-dir ~/.lsprag-skills

Once installed, Claude invokes lsprag automatically when you describe code analysis tasks.

Install for OpenCode
