+### Diagnostic Features
+
+The LSP detects common issues:
+
+- Missing `browser_init()` before page operations
+- Missing `navigate()` before content extraction
+- Invalid selectors and URLs
+- Missing required parameters
+- Unclosed browser sessions
+- Security issues (eval usage, etc.)
+
+### Quick Fixes
+
+When diagnostics are detected, quick fixes are offered:
+
+- Add `browser_init()` at start
+- Add `navigate()` before page tools
+- Add `browser_close()` at end
+- Wrap in try-catch
+- Extract to function
