At a glance

Find all concrete implementations of an interface or abstract type.

  • Works in 4 steps: Locate the interface or type → Find all implementations → Type hierarchy (subtypes and supertypes) → …
  • You need to know what types satisfy an interface
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Step 1 — Locate the interface…, Step 2 — Find all… and Step 3 — Type hierarchy…, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Lsp Implement is an agent skill from blackwell-systems/agent-lsp. Find all concrete implementations of an interface or abstract type. Use when you need to know what types satisfy an interface, or what subtypes exist before changing a base type.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires the agent-lsp MCP server (github.com/blackwell-systems/agent-lsp)

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: MCP server that orchestrates language servers into agent-native workflows. 65 tools, 30 CI-verified languages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to know what types satisfy an interface
  • What subtypes exist before changing a base type

Example prompts

  • “/lsp-implement”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires the agent-lsp MCP server (github.com/blackwell-systems/agent-lsp)
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__lsp__start_lsp, mcp__lsp__get_server_capabilities, mcp__lsp__go_to_symbol, mcp__lsp__go_to_implementation, mcp__lsp__type_hierarchy, mcp__lsp__open_document

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate the interface or type
  2. Find all implementations
  3. Type hierarchy (subtypes and supertypes)
  4. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6fa5faf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mcp__lsp__start_lsp
    • mcp__lsp__get_server_capabilities
    • mcp__lsp__go_to_symbol
    • mcp__lsp__go_to_implementation
    • mcp__lsp__type_hierarchy
    • mcp__lsp__open_document

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires the agent-lsp MCP server (github.com/blackwell-systems/agent-lsp)

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Lsp Implement loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

lsp-implement

Find every concrete type that implements an interface, or every subtype of an abstract type. Read-only — does not modify any files.

Use this skill before changing an interface signature, adding a method to an interface, or removing a base-type method. It tells you every type that must be updated.

Invocation: User provides type_name (e.g. "Handler", "io.Reader"). Optionally provide workspace_root.


Prerequisites

Check server capabilities — go_to_implementation and type_hierarchy are optional features not implemented by all language servers:

mcp__lsp__get_server_capabilities()

Note which of go_to_implementation and type_hierarchy appear in supported_tools. The steps below depend on this result.

If neither is supported, report "Server does not support implementation lookup" and stop.


Step 1 — Locate the interface or type

mcp__lsp__go_to_symbol({
  "symbol_path": "<TypeName>",
  "workspace_root": "/abs/path"   // optional
})
→ returns: file, line, column (1-indexed)

Open the file so the language server tracks it:

mcp__lsp__open_document({
  "file_path": "<file from go_to_symbol>"
})

Record file, line, column for subsequent steps.


Step 2 — Find all implementations

Only if go_to_implementation appears in supported_tools.

mcp__lsp__go_to_implementation({
  "file_path": "<file>",
  "line": <line>,
  "column": <column>
})

Returns a list of locations — each is a concrete type that satisfies the interface. Group by file. Record type names and locations.

If go_to_implementation is not supported: skip; note in report.


Step 3 — Type hierarchy (subtypes and supertypes)

Only if type_hierarchy appears in supported_tools.

mcp__lsp__type_hierarchy({
  "file_path": "<file>",
  "line": <line>,
  "column": <column>,
  "direction": "subtypes"   // use "both" to also see what this type extends
})

subtypes returns concrete types that extend or embed this type. supertypes returns what this type itself implements.

Cross-reference with Step 2 results — the union gives the complete implementation surface.

If type_hierarchy is not supported: skip; note in report.

Step 4 — Report

## Implementation Report: <TypeName>

### Definition
- File: <file>:<line>
- Kind: interface / abstract type / base struct

### Concrete Implementations (<N> found)
- TypeA — <file>:<line>
- TypeB — <file>:<line>
...

### Type Hierarchy
Supertypes: [list or "none"]
Subtypes: [list or "same as implementations above" or "not supported"]

### Risk Assessment
| N implementations | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| 0 | Interface unused or no external implementors found. May be internal-only. |
| 1–3 | Low risk. All implementors can be updated together. |
| 4–10 | Medium risk. Plan updates package by package. |
| > 10 | High risk. Changing the interface is a breaking API change. |

Common use cases

Before adding a method to an interface: Run lsp-implement to find all types that will need the new method. Each implementation site must be updated — this is your required change list.

Before removing a method: Find all types that implement it. Check whether any external (outside this repo) packages may be affected.

Understanding polymorphism in an unfamiliar codebase: Run lsp-implement on the primary interface to see the full type hierarchy before making any changes.


Language notes

Languagego_to_implementation finds...
GoAll types with matching method sets
TypeScriptAll classes implementing the interface
Java/C#All classes/structs implementing the interface
RustAll structs with impl Trait for ...

For Go: go_to_implementation on an interface finds all types that satisfy it, even without an explicit implements declaration.
