Tree-sitter Code Analysis FAQs

Question 1

What languages does the Tree-sitter skill support?

Accepted Answer

It supports a broad range of languages including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, C, C++, Swift, Java, Kotlin, Julia, and many others via tree-sitter-language-packs.

Question 2

How do I find specific code patterns?

Accepted Answer

You can use the run_query tool to execute tree-sitter queries, which use S-expressions to target specific nodes and captures within the code's syntax tree.

Question 3

Does this skill help with dependency mapping?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. By using the get_dependencies and get_symbols tools, you can map out how different parts of your project interact and identify key coupling points.

Question 4

How is AST parsing better than standard grep searching?

Accepted Answer

AST parsing understands the syntax and hierarchy of code. This allows you to search for specific nodes like 'function names' or 'constant declarations' without being confused by comments or text matches in unrelated strings.

Question 5

Can I analyze code complexity with this skill?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill includes specialized tools like analyze_complexity and analyze_project to evaluate the structural density and maintainability of your source files.
