Zed Diagnostics Side Channel

skill

Use when designing or extending a language server that pushes non-error information into Zed — agent comments, review notes, annotations, status — or when choosing a diagnostic severity so the extra output does not drown the real language server. Trigger on "LSP that shows comments inline", "publish annotations as diagnostics", "filter out my server's diagnostics", "hide these from the problems panel", or work on harness/apps/line-comment.

Works with: Claude Code (native) · Cursor, Codex CLI (manual)

Security audit

Not scanned yet. We audit npm-published capabilities for known advisories, install-time scripts and permission surface; this one has no npm package we can resolve, or has not reached the queue.

Its own instructions

Its SKILL.md says when to use it and states a limitation.

Read from the capability’s own SKILL.md. This is not a grade and does not compare to the instruction-depth verdict on an MCP server — a skill has no tools to document, so that rubric does not apply to it.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.

tashan Pro$6/mo

Pro adds the history to tashan doctor, so a run over your own config says which of yours gained an advisory, started running an install script, or lost its last maintainer — and what to move to.

Everything on this page is public evidence and free. What it cannot know is whether you run this — check your whole config, free, in the browser. tashan Pro adds the series behind each row and names a replacement for anything dying.

Already running this? Check your whole config — free, in your browser, nothing installed. Or npx tashan-cli doctor locally, which sends nothing at all.
