Checking Files With LSP

Overview

When you need to validate, check, or understand a file's structure or code quality, use language servers and linters to do it systematically. This skill provides a reliable workflow: detect the file type, search mise for available LSP/linter tools, intelligently choose one, and run the check.

Core principle: Let the appropriate tool for the language do the validation work, not manual inspection. Automate tool discovery and selection.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Checking code files for syntax errors, type issues, or style problems
• Validating configuration files (YAML, TOML, JSON, KDL, etc.)
• Understanding code structure or quality of unfamiliar files
• Verifying Markdown files for formatting/link issues
• Need to quickly understand what problems exist in a file
