Symbol-level navigation of a local checkout using tree-sitter ASTs. Answers where a symbol is defined, what lines it spans, which symbols a file exposes, what a directory holds, and where a name is referenced — every answer carries exact line ranges to feed straight into a scoped read. Use for "where is X defined", "who calls X", "find the function/class named", "what's in this file", "give me the line range for", "show me the source of", "list the symbols in", or before editing a file you…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# tree-sitting Tree-sitter symbol index over a local checkout. Every result carries line ranges, so the next step is a scoped `Read`. ## Setup Needs Python 3.10+ and `pip install tree-sitter`. On macOS, `/usr/bin/python3` is 3.9 and will not work; use a Homebrew or uv Python. Grammars are bundled for Linux x86_64 (`parsers/*.so`) and macOS (`parsers/*.dylib`). If a file's grammar doesn't load, the file is skipped and stderr prints `WARNING: no grammar for …` with the fix. Resolve that before trusting an empty result. On other platforms, run `python3 scripts/build_grammars.py` (needs git and cc). It writes to `$TREESIT_PARSERS_DIR`, or `~/.cache/tree-sitting/parsers/` when that is unset, and grammars there take precedence over the bundle. Installed `tree-sitter-<lang>` wheels are the last fallback. ## Use `scripts/treesit.py` in this skill's directory scans the repo on every call (cached on disk; invalidated when files or grammars change), prints a tree overview, then answers the queries. Batch queries so one scan serves them all. ```bash python3 scripts/treesit.py REPO # overview, depth 1 …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/tree-sitting@sha256:bec0e0ab901828abThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.10.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
