STEP 3: Implement with Current Patterns

Code Navigation with LSP

When exploring or analyzing code in this project:

1. Prefer LSP MCP tools (if available):

   • Use LSP for go-to-definition, find-references, find-implementations
   • Use LSP to understand code structure and dependencies
   • Use LSP to trace call paths and inheritance hierarchies

2. Fall back to traditional tools when LSP is unavailable:

   • Grep for keyword searches across files
   • Glob for finding files by pattern
   • Read to examine file contents

3. When to use LSP:

   • Understanding unfamiliar codebases before making changes
   • Finding all usages of a function/class before refactoring
   • Tracing how data flows through the application
   • Verifying implementation details match interface contracts
