# Lsp Bootstrap > Bootstraps the X-8 LSP surface for a fresh editor. Use when the operator wants inline diagnostics from the rubric runner in Cursor / VS Code / Continue / Aider / Windsurf and the tdd-pro-lsp binary isn't yet on PATH. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/lsp-bootstrap` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/lsp-bootstrap` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/lsp-bootstrap/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/lsp-bootstrap --- # LSP bootstrap (X-8) The X-8 LSP server (`lsp/tdd-pro-lsp.sh`) ships with the plugin but isn't on PATH by default. This skill performs the one-time install so editors discover it. ## When to invoke - Operator clones the plugin and wants editor diagnostics on the first session. - `which tdd-pro-lsp` returns nothing AND the operator wants the LSP surface active. ## What it does 1. Symlinks `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/lsp/tdd-pro-lsp.sh` to `~/.local/bin/tdd-pro-lsp` (or `/usr/local/bin/` if writable). 2. Reports the path so the operator can configure their editor. 3. Suggests the `vscode-tdd-pro` extension for VS Code / Cursor users. ## Architecture cross-refs - §14 X-8 — LSP surface (this skill) - §14 X-9 — cloud devcontainer (Codespaces parity) - §6 P-10 — runtime model router (LSP server respects router for any LLM-backed diagnostic enrichment) --- > Source: [drumfiend21/claude-tdd-pro](https://github.com/drumfiend21/claude-tdd-pro) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
