tree-sitter-fsharp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

tree-sitter-fsharp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ionide/tree-sitter-fsharp. It costs 3,741 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for improving the F# Tree-sitter parser, a tool that turns F# source code into a structured syntax tree. The project has a main parser and a related signature-file parser generated from it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding F# syntax, writing parser tests, running the command line, or regenerating parser files.
Why use it?
They warn that changing the main grammar also affects the signature parser and explain how to regenerate both correctly.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is ionide/tree-sitter-fsharp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on tree-sitter-fsharp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tree-sitter-fsharp configures →

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-fsharp 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 1mo 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.

Improving the F# Tree-sitter Parser

This document explains how to add new language features to the F# parser.

Project Structure

This project contains two parsers:

  1. fsharp/ - Parses .fs and .fsx files (F# source and script files)
  2. fsharp_signature/ - Parses .fsi files (F# signature files)

These are not independent. fsharp_signature/grammar.js starts with grammar(require("../fsharp/grammar"), { ... }) — it extends the base grammar and overrides/adds a small number of rules. Consequences you must internalize:

  • A change to fsharp/grammar.js changes the derived signature grammar too, even if you never open fsharp_signature/grammar.js.
  • Both fsharp/src/parser.c and fsharp_signature/src/parser.c must be regenerated after any change to fsharp/grammar.js. Forgetting the second one will fail CI's "parser matches grammar" check.
  • Use npm run generate (regenerates both) rather than a single tree-sitter generate invocation — see the workflow section below.

Each parser directory contains:

  • grammar.js - The grammar definition (written in JavaScript)
  • src/grammar.json - Generated grammar in JSON format
  • src/parser.c - Generated C parser code (never edit this file directly)
  • src/scanner.c - Thin per-parser shim that #includes the shared scanner

The real external scanner logic lives in a single shared header at common/scanner.h. Both fsharp/src/scanner.c and fsharp_signature/src/scanner.c are just three-function shims that delegate to functions defined in that header. If you need to change tokenization behavior (indent/dedent, keyword handling, string interpolation, etc.), edit common/scanner.h — never the per-parser scanner.c shim.

Running the CLI

The tree-sitter CLI is installed as a local devDependency (node_modules/.bin/tree-sitter), not globally. Invoke it with npx tree-sitter <command>, which resolves the local binary automatically. All examples in this document use npx tree-sitter ....

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.
