+## Clangd: Force detect as C
+
+Clangd out of the box assumes mixed C++/C projects. If you have a C-only project you may wish to instruct clangd to all files as C using the `-xc` flag. To do this, create a `.clangd` file in the root of your project with the following:
+
+```yaml
+CompileFlags:
+  Add: [-xc]
+```
