How does this improve code quality?

The skill enforces a structured 'Quality Workflow' that requires checking for references, running linting tools, and executing test suites both before and after making changes.

What is symbol-based editing?

Symbol-based editing uses the Language Server Protocol (LSP) to understand the semantic structure of code, allowing for precise modifications like renaming or replacing functions without the risks associated with text-based search and replace.

When should I use the Edit tool instead of LSP tools?

Use the standard Edit tool for files without LSP support (like Markdown or JSON), complex multi-line string replacements, or when precise line-by-line manual edits are specifically required.

Does this skill work with any programming language?

It is designed to be language-agnostic and works with any language supported by LSP, including TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, and C++.

Productivity & Workflow

Optimizes coding efficiency through semantic LSP navigation and symbol-based modifications for high-quality software development.

About

This skill establishes a robust, language-agnostic framework for code editing and quality assurance using Language Server Protocol (LSP) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. It moves beyond simple text-based editing by enabling semantic symbol manipulation, allowing developers to navigate, rename, and replace code blocks with structural awareness. By integrating pre-change analysis and post-change verification standards, it ensures that modifications are accurate, consistent, and maintainable across complex codebases in languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust.

Key Features

Automated quality workflows with pre-change and post-change verification
Language-agnostic support for all major LSP-compatible ecosystems
Symbol-based code modification (renaming and body replacement)
Context-aware symbol research and library documentation querying
0 GitHub stars
Semantic LSP navigation (definitions, references, and implementations)

Use Cases

Enforcing consistent linting and testing standards before and after code modifications
Refactoring complex functions and classes across large codebases with high precision
Navigating unfamiliar repositories using semantic symbol maps rather than text search
