Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install pyright-lsp
What This Skill Does
Pyright is Microsoft's Python language server that runs static type checking and code intelligence on .py and .pyi files. It detects type errors, provides autocomplete suggestions, and supports go-to-definition and find references.
Pyright is faster and more precise than mypy for type inference, making it practical for large or complex Python projects.
When to use it
- Catching type mismatches before running Python scripts
- Navigating large Python codebases with go-to-definition
- Validating type annotations in a library or package
- Running type checks in CI to catch regressions
- Getting autocomplete and error feedback without a full IDE
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: Check my Python project for type errors
AGENT
- 1Navigate to the project root directory
- 2Run `pyright` to analyze all Python files
- 3Parse the diagnostic output for errors and warnings
- 4Report each type error with file path, line number, and description
OUTPUT
A list of type errors and warnings with locations, ready to address before committing
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
