tcl-ls documentation

tcl-ls is a typed Python Tcl language server with three user-facing entry points:

• tcl-ls for stdio LSP server integration in an editor

• tcl-check for batch diagnostics over a file or project tree

• tcl-meta for metadata helper workflows

The project is already useful for conservative static analysis, navigation, completion, and metadata-driven Tcl tooling. It is still early, so the docs also call out current limits and the workflows that are already stable.
