What is the primary purpose of the Kotlin LSP skill?

It provides a repeatable workflow to install, configure, and troubleshoot the JetBrains Kotlin Language Server (K2) within IntelliJ IDEA using the LSP4IJ plugin.

Does this skill support Android or KMP projects?

While the skill helps with setup, it notes that Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Android support may be limited compared to JVM-only Gradle projects.

Can I use this on Windows?

Yes, the skill includes specific instructions for manual installation and command wrapping using 'cmd /c' for Windows environments.

What plugins are required for this skill to work?

This skill requires the LSP Support (LSP4IJ) plugin from the IntelliJ Marketplace to bridge the IDE with the Kotlin Language Server.

How do I verify if the Kotlin LSP is working correctly?

The skill guides you through checking the LSP Console in IntelliJ to confirm a successful server handshake and functional diagnostics.
