+- Code intelligence from language servers. With one installed (basedpyright or pyright for Python,
+  typescript-language-server or TypeScript 7's `tsc --lsp`, gopls, rust-analyzer, clangd), the model
+  gets an `lsp` tool for a symbol's definition, references and type, and a file's or the workspace's
+  symbols; and after every edit to a file in that language, the errors the edit introduced are
+  added to the result, so the model fixes them right away. Servers start on demand, one per
+  language; a project's own `node_modules/.bin` comes first. Without any server installed nothing
+  changes. `lcode doctor` shows what it found; the `lsp` setting and `~/.config/lcode/lsp.json`
+  configure it. See [Code intelligence](https://nasser1941.github.io/lcode/lsp/).

+# Code intelligence
+
+The model navigates code with `grep` by default. In a large codebase that's imprecise (the same
+names appear everywhere), every extra file it reads costs context, and type errors only show up
+when the build runs. With a **language server** installed, lcode does better:
+
+- **An `lsp` tool.** The model asks where a symbol is defined, where it's used, what its type or
+  signature is, or what a file contains, and gets exact `path:line` answers.
+- **Errors after edits.** After the model changes a file, the language server checks it, and any
+  errors the change introduced are added to the result of the edit, so the model fixes them
+  right away:
+
+```text
+● edit_file(src/main.ts)
+  ✓ Edited src/main.ts
+  Edited src/main.ts (1 replacement(s)). Result: …
+  [The language server found 1 new error after this change:
+    main.ts:3: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'number'. (typescript)]
+```
+
+Only errors the edit introduced are listed, not ones that were there before, and warnings are left
+out. Only the edited file is checked: errors a change causes elsewhere (in the callers of a
+function whose signature changed, say) show up when the model runs the build or the tests.
+
+## Setting it up
+
+Install a language server for your language; lcode finds it on the `PATH`, or in the project's
+`node_modules/.bin`:
+
+| Language | Server | Install |
+|---|---|---|
+| Python | basedpyright, pyright or pylsp | `uv tool install basedpyright` (or `npm install -g pyright`) |
+| TypeScript, JavaScript | typescript-language-server (TypeScript 5), or `tsc --lsp` (TypeScript 7) | `npm install -g typescript-language-server typescript` |
+| Go | gopls | `go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest` |
+| Rust | rust-analyzer | `rustup component add rust-analyzer` |
+| C, C++ | clangd | `apt install clangd`, or `brew install llvm` |
+
+`lcode doctor` shows what it found. Servers start the first time they're needed in a session, one per
+language, and stop when you quit. Without any server installed, nothing changes: there's no `lsp`
+tool and nothing about it in the model's instructions.
+
+TypeScript 7 no longer includes the `tsserver.js` that typescript-language-server needs, but its
+own `tsc --lsp` is a language server; lcode tries one after the other.
+
+## The tool
+
+| Action | What the model gets |
+|---|---|
+| `definition` | Where the symbol is defined: `src/calc.py:12: def add(a, b):` |
+| `references` | Every place it's used, one line each |
+| `hover` | Its type or signature, and documentation |
+| `symbols` with a path | The file's outline: classes, functions, methods, with line numbers |
+| `symbols` with a query | Symbols with that name anywhere in the workspace |
+
+The model gives a line number and the symbol's name on that line (models rarely know column
+numbers). The tool is available to [subagents](agents.md) and in [plan mode](usage.md#plan-mode)
+too.
+
+## Settings
+
+| Setting | |
+|---|---|
+| `lsp` | `auto` (default): use the language servers that are installed; `off`: never |
+
+`~/.config/lcode/lsp.json` picks another command for a language, or turns one off:
+
+```json
+{
+  "python": {"command": ["pylsp"]},
+  "rust": {"disabled": true}
+}
+```
+
+A language server's own output goes to `~/.local/state/lcode/lsp-logs/<language>.log`. Language
+servers run on your machine even when the [sandbox](sandbox.md) is on: they only read the project.
