Sourcekit lsp workflow

Skill gaelic-ghost/socket/skills/sourcekit-lsp-workflow

Configure or diagnose SourceKit-LSP across SwiftPM, compilation databases, and build servers. Use for completion, navigation, refactoring, diagnostics, semantic tokens, indexing, generated files, or editor-client failures.From its SKILL.md

SourceKit-LSP Workflow

Treat SourceKit-LSP as an editor protocol server whose semantic quality depends on matching toolchain, build settings, modules, generated files, and index state.

Workflow

  1. Identify the client, workspace root, requested LSP feature, project model, and whether the failure is startup, build-settings, semantic, index, protocol, or client presentation.
  2. Resolve the intended server and compiler together:
    • inspect Swiftly's selected location, sourcekit-lsp, and Swift version
    • inspect xcode-select, xcrun --find sourcekit-lsp, and xcrun swiftc --version
    • use Swiftly for Swift.org toolchains and cross-platform SwiftPM work
    • use Xcode's server for Apple SDK and Xcode-selected toolchain behavior
  3. Confirm workspace integration:
    • native SwiftPM workspace
    • compile_commands.json or compile_flags.txt
    • Build Server Protocol provider
    • fallback settings only for intentionally unmanaged files
  4. Confirm the client completed initialize, opened the document before document requests, preserved the process environment, and framed JSON-RPC messages correctly.
  5. Check build settings, generated files, module preparation, last successful build, index-store production, index freshness, and background-indexing policy.
  6. Reproduce with logging or the built-in diagnose bundle before clearing caches or changing configuration. Read references/sourcekit-lsp-diagnostics.md for the ordered diagnosis path.
  7. Treat .sourcekit-lsp/config.json as version-sensitive. Verify options against the selected server before adding or changing them.
  8. Report server, compiler, project model, failing request, logs, build/index state, correction, and remaining client-specific behavior.

Toolchain Contract

  • Keep SourceKit-LSP, sourcekitd, compiler, SDK, plugins, and built modules from one coherent toolchain selection.
  • Record both Swiftly and Xcode resolution on macOS even when they currently report the same Swift version.
  • When Swiftly selects xcode, confirm which Xcode is selected rather than treating the proxy as an independent toolchain.
  • Do not hard-code an Xcode application or toolchain path; resolve it through the configured selection.
  • Do not change the global toolchain merely to test a hypothesis without explicit user intent.

Boundaries

  • Use swift-semantic-indexing-workflow for direct SourceKit or IndexStoreDB application integrations that do not need LSP.
  • Use swift-compiler-inspection-workflow for compiler phases and emitted artifacts.
  • Hand Xcode-hosted coding-agent setup to xcode-coding-intelligence-workflow and Xcode build execution to xcode-build-run-workflow.

Guardrails

  • Do not blame the editor before checking server logs, build settings, generated files, and index freshness.
  • Do not expect cross-module results from modules that have not been prepared or indexed.
  • Do not run SourceKit-LSP inside a restricted application sandbox unless the host deliberately provides the required developer-tool access.
  • Do not assume one stdout read equals one LSP packet; buffer and parse by protocol framing.
  • Do not expose mirrored LSP traffic or diagnostic bundles without checking them for source and environment data.
