# Linux x86_64
🚀 Quick Start
As a Library
use *;
use Arc;
// Create type universe
let universe = new;
// Perform type checking
let result = universe.check_file;
// Incremental update
let delta = universe.check_incremental;
Type Query
use ;
use QueryEngine;
use Arc;
async
AI Agent Session
use ;
// Create coordinator
let coordinator = new;
// Create session
let config = SessionConfig ;
let session = coordinator.create_session;
// Perform type checking in session
let result = session.check_types;
As LSP Server
# Start LSP service
# Or use stdio mode
Type Query CLI
# Check file types
# Query symbol type
# Start type checking service
# WebSocket mode
