About:
Codebook LSP is a language server protocol implementation that provides intelligent spell checking within source code. It differentiates between code and natural language, only flagging potential spelling errors in comments and strings while ignoring syntax. This enables developers to maintain clean documentation and comments without false positives from code identifiers.
Key Features:
  • Context-aware spell checking that ignores code syntax
  • Language Server Protocol (LSP) integration for broad editor support
  • Configurable dictionaries and custom word lists
  • Real-time error highlighting and suggestions
Use Cases:
  • Maintaining error-free documentation and comments in codebases
  • Improving code readability by catching typos in string literals
  • Enforcing consistent terminology in project comments
Alternatives:
  • cspell – Codebook LSP focuses on LSP-native integration, while cspell is a standalone CLI tool with extensive dictionary ecosystem
  • languagetool – Codebook is code-focused and lightweight, while LanguageTool offers broader grammar checking for prose
