Code Review with LSP

This skill works with mcp_servers + preflight in .clausura.yaml.

Preflight diagnostics are collected automatically; this skill guides

the agent to use LSP tools for deeper semantic analysis.

Review Workflow

For each file or diff hunk under review:

Step 1. Check diagnostics

Call mcp__<server>__get_diagnostics (or equivalent) for the file. Preflight results are already in context — but if diagnostics were not automatically collected, run them now.

Record every diagnostic as a finding:

• rule_id: lsp-<diagnostic-type> (e.g. lsp-type-mismatch)
• severity: map 1:1 from diagnostic severity
• message: keep the original diagnostic message verbatim

Step 2. Understand unfamiliar symbols

When you encounter a symbol, function, or type you need to understand:

1. hover — get type signature and docs: mcp__<server>__hover
2. definition — jump to the definition: mcp__<server>__goto_definition
3. references — check all callers: mcp__<server>__find_references

Step 3. Check for cascading impact

If a change affects a public API or core type:

• Use mcp__<server>__find_references to find all callers
• Check if those callers handle the new signature correctly

Finding Severity Mapping

Example Rule IDs for Gating

gating:
  # LSP diagnostics (rule_id_prefix: "lsp-")
  - rule: lsp-type-mismatch
    min_severity: error
    max_findings: 0
    action: fail
  - rule: lsp-compile-error
    min_severity: error
    max_findings: 0
    action: fail
