Adding New Languages

  • To add a new language:
    1. Add a tree-sitter grammar and build it (see tree-sitter docs).
    2. Add a queries/<lang>/tags.scm file with queries for symbols you want to extract.
    3. Add the file extension to TreeSitterSymbolExtractor.LANGUAGES.
    4. Write/expand tests for the new language.

Why?

  • This approach lets you support any language with a tree-sitter grammar—no need to change core logic.
  • tags.scm queries make symbol extraction flexible and community-driven.
