tree-sitter-analyzer AGENTS.md

A project instruction file for the tree-sitter-analyzer codebase, a tool that analyzes source code using Tree-sitter parsers. It explains where to find design maps and how to run tests and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying tree-sitter-analyzer, especially its architecture, command-line options, language support, MCP tools, formatters, or security boundaries.
Why use it?
It helps coding agents inspect the right parts of the repository and follow the project’s required testing and change-checking process.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tree-sitter-analyzer AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent Instructions

Discovery path: read this file → skim CLAUDE.md for the locked design decisions → load only the docs/CODEMAPS/ map matching the area you're touching. Do not load the full source tree blindly — the codemaps exist to keep agent context lean.

Test Runtime Contract

  • The default full-suite command is uv run pytest -q.
  • Do not run the full suite serially. Project pytest config enables xdist with --numprocesses=auto --dist=loadfile.
  • The full suite must finish in under 5 minutes. The config enforces --session-timeout=900 and --timeout=30. (Bumped from 300 in v1.13.1 — see docs/POSTMORTEM_v1.13.md § 9.)
  • After edits, run uv run python -m tree_sitter_analyzer --change-impact --format json and follow its verification_command.
  • If test_required is false, do not run tests just to look busy; run the reported non-test verification such as git diff --check.
  • For targeted code feedback, prefer verification_command/test_command; pytest_required and pytest_command are retained for pytest-specific compatibility.
  • For PRs that change Python source, run focused tests with --cov=tree_sitter_analyzer --cov-report=json, then run uv run python scripts/check_patch_coverage.py --base origin/develop --coverage-json coverage.json before pushing. The local patch gate must report no added executable misses; add effective tests instead of waiting for CI Codecov to block the PR.
  • Benchmark-only runs are the exception: use uv run pytest tests/benchmarks/ --benchmark-enable --benchmark-only -n 0 --session-timeout=0.
  • Do not remove or weaken these pytest defaults. They prevent repeated agent mistakes: serial full-suite runs, accidental benchmark execution, hidden hangs, and >5 minute feedback loops.
  • If a test-runtime setting must change, update tests/contracts/test_pytest_runtime_contract.py, explain why the new setting is faster or safer, and prove uv run pytest -q still finishes under 5 minutes.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
