It combines Tree-sitter parsing with Spellbook-style spell checking so editors can flag words in comments, strings, and definitions without behaving like a prose grammar checker. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created on 2025-01-03, and early releases began in January 2025. The README states that Codebook was originally developed for the Zed editor and exposes a Language Server intended for any editor that supports LSP. The project emphasizes privacy, low annoyance, and efficiency: no remote spell-checking calls, only flagging words users can control, and low CPU and memory overhead for checking on keystrokes. ### Adoption history The README documents manual release downloads, `eget`, Arch Linux `pacman`, Cargo, Homebrew, and source builds. The input package facts list Homebrew and pacman, which matches the upstream installation section. Editor integration is central to adoption. The README describes Codebook as the most popular spell checker for Zed, documents Helix and Neovim setup, and notes that a VS Code extension is still a work in progress. ### How it is used Users install the `codebook-lsp` binary and configure it in an editor's LSP client. In Helix it is launched with `codebook-lsp serve`; Neovim can enable it through `nvim-lspconfig`; Zed users generally install the Codebook extension, which manages the LSP binary. The language server checks code-aware text such as comments, strings, and definitions, splits camelCase and snake_case, and manages dictionaries automatically. ### Why package nerds care Codebook LSP is a small but neat example of the LSP ecosystem expanding beyond compilers and linters into language-aware writing tools. Package maintainers care because editor integrations depend on a native binary being available on PATH, making Homebrew, pacman, Cargo, and release archives part of the editor experience. ### Timeline - 2025-01-03: GitHub repository created. - 2025-01-15: Early v0.0.6 release published. - 2025: README documents Zed, Helix, Neovim, and local VS Code integration paths. - 2026: Active v0.3.x releases continue through at least v0.3.41. ### Related projects - The README names Tree-sitter and Spellbook as core building blocks. It also relates Codebook to the Zed extension, Helix, Neovim's LSP configuration, and a work-in-progress VS Code extension. ### Sources - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for codebook-lsp.
