Checks that configuration files are correctly set up for using the LSP tool with C++.
Skill instructions
Using the LSP tool with C++ requires three configuration files before it will work correctly: 1. A .github/lsp.json file that specifies how to launch the language server. It should have content like this: json { "lspServers": { "cpp": { "command": "mscppls", "args": ["--lsp-config", ".mscppls/cpp-lsp.json"], "fileExtensions": { ".cpp": "cpp", ".cxx": "cpp", ".c": "cpp", ".cc": "cpp", ".hpp": "cpp", ".hxx": "cpp", ".hh": "cpp", ".h": "cpp" }, "requestTimeoutMs": 1000000 } } } 2. A .mscppls/cpp-lsp.json file that configures the path to the compilecommands.json file. This file must follow the schema below, where all paths are relative to the .mscppls directory. repositoryPath is the relative path to the repository root and compileCommands is the relative path to the compilecommands.json file. json { "repositoryPath": "../", "compileCommands": "../build/compilecommands.json" } 3. A compilecommands.json file that specifies the compile command lines for each file in the project. This file ca
