Requires the agent-lsp MCP server.
lsp-fix-all
Apply available quick-fix code actions for all current diagnostics in a file, one at a time, re-collecting diagnostics between each fix because line numbers shift after each application.
Important distinction from /lsp-safe-edit: This skill fixes pre-existing
diagnostics in a file — errors and warnings that already exist before any edit
session begins. /lsp-safe-edit has a code-action step (Step 7) for fixing errors
introduced by a specific edit you just made. Use this skill for systematic
bulk-fixing of existing issues, independent of any edit session.
When to use / not use
Use this skill when:
- A file has accumulated errors or warnings you want to resolve automatically
- You want to clean up a file before starting new work
- You want to apply all available language-server quick-fixes in bulk
Do NOT use this skill when:
- You just made an edit and want to fix newly introduced errors — use
/lsp-safe-edit - You want to apply structural refactors — this skill applies quick-fixes only (see filtering below)
- The file has zero diagnostics (the skill will report clean and stop)
Input
- file_path: Absolute path to the file to fix.
Workflow
Step 1 — Open and collect initial diagnostics
Call mcp__lsp__open_document with the target file path to ensure it is loaded
in the language server. Then call mcp__lsp__get_diagnostics to retrieve all
current diagnostics.
If zero diagnostics are returned: report "No diagnostics found — file is clean." and stop. No further steps are needed.
Record the initial count of errors and warnings for the summary output.
Step 2 — Classify and filter code actions
For EACH diagnostic (process one at a time, not in batch):
- Call
mcp__lsp__suggest_fixesat the diagnostic's position/range. - Filter the returned actions to quick-fix kind only.
- Skip any diagnostic for which no applicable quick-fix exists — note it in the summary.
Decision gate — which code actions to apply:
| Action kind | Apply? |
|---|---|
quickfix |
YES |
quickfix.* |
YES |
refactor |
NO — structural change |
refactor.extract |
NO — structural change |
refactor.inline |
NO — structural change |
source.organizeImports |
YES — safe formatting |
source.* (others) |
NO — skip unless organizeImports |
| (no kind / empty) | NO — unknown, skip |
A code action qualifies if: kind == "quickfix", OR kind starts with "quickfix.",
OR kind == "source.organizeImports".
Reject actions whose kind is "refactor", starts with "refactor.", or has no
kind field at all.
Step 3 — Apply one fix and re-collect (the core loop)
This is the critical correctness constraint: never apply more than one fix per
iteration. After each apply_edit call, line numbers in the file shift. Always
re-call get_diagnostics before processing the next diagnostic.
Loop:
iteration = 0
max_iterations = 50
while iteration < max_iterations:
diagnostics = mcp__lsp__get_diagnostics(file_path)
if diagnostics is empty: break
for each diagnostic in diagnostics:
actions = mcp__lsp__suggest_fixes(diagnostic.range)
applicable = filter to quickfix / source.organizeImports kinds (see Step 2)
if applicable is not empty:
apply the first applicable action via mcp__lsp__apply_edit
record: (line, message, action title) in "Fixed" list
iteration += 1
break # restart the outer loop — line numbers have shifted
if no diagnostic in this pass had an applicable quick-fix:
break # no progress possible — exit loop
Exit the loop when:
- The diagnostics list is empty, OR
- No remaining diagnostic has an applicable quick-fix action, OR
- The iteration counter reaches 50 (safety guard against edge cases where a fix introduces a new fixable diagnostic, preventing infinite loops)
If apply_edit returns an error: stop the loop immediately and report the
failure in the summary. Do not attempt further fixes.
Step 4 — Verify and format
After the loop exits:
- Call
mcp__lsp__get_diagnosticsone final time to capture the post-fix state. - For any remaining diagnostics that had no applicable quick-fix, list them in the "Skipped" section with explanation.
- Call
mcp__lsp__format_documentto clean up any indentation drift introduced by the applied edits.
Output format
## lsp-fix-all Summary
File: /path/to/file.go
Initial diagnostics: N errors, M warnings
Fixes applied: K
Remaining (no auto-fix available): J
### Fixed
- line X: <message> → applied: <action title>
### Skipped (no quick-fix available)
- line Y: <message>
If apply_edit failed mid-loop, append:
### Loop stopped
- apply_edit returned error on line Z: <error message>
- Fixes applied before failure: K
Safety rules
- Never apply more than one code action per loop iteration
- Always re-collect diagnostics after each
apply_editbefore the next fix - Never apply refactor or structural code actions — quick-fix and source.organizeImports only
- If
apply_editreturns an error, stop the loop and report the failure; do not continue - Maximum iterations: 50 (safety guard against infinite loops in edge cases where a fix introduces a new fixable diagnostic)
- Do not use
execute_command—apply_editis sufficient for all quick-fixes
Prerequisites
LSP must be running for the target workspace. If not yet initialized, call
mcp__lsp__start_lsp with the workspace root before proceeding.
Auto-init note: agent-lsp supports workspace auto-inference from file paths.
Explicit start_lsp is only needed when switching workspace roots.
