Use when writing a new pi-lens tree-sitter query rule YAML file — covers schema, S-expression syntax, capture names, predicates, and gotchas.

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

# Writing a pi-lens tree-sitter Rule

Drop path: `rules/tree-sitter-queries/<language>/<id>.yml`  
Language dir is **lowercase**: `typescript` `javascript` `tsx` `python` `go` `rust` `java` `csharp` `kotlin` `php` `ruby` `cpp` `c` `css`

Project rules merge with built-ins (both run). To disable a language's built-ins: rename dir to `<lang>-disabled/`.

## Minimal template

```yaml
id: no-eval
severity: error
inline_tier: blocking       # blocking | warning | review
language: typescript        # lowercase, inferred from dir if omitted
message: "eval() is dangerous — use a safer alternative"
query: |
  (call_expression
    function: (identifier) @FN
    (#eq? @FN "eval"))
metavars: [FN]
has_fix: false
```

## S-expression query syntax

```scheme
; Node with field
(call_expression
  function: (identifier) @NAME
  arguments: (arguments) @ARGS)

; Alternatives — ALL branches must use the SAME capture names
[
  (function_declaration name: (identifier) @FN)
  (arrow_function) @FN
]

; Predicates (inline)
(#eq? @NAME "fetch")        ; exact match
(#match? @NAME "^on[A-Z]")  ; regex match
```

## Predicates via YAML (faster — runs in WASM)

```yaml
predicates:
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add apmantza/pi-lens/pi-lens-write-tree-sitter-rule@sha256:a02cc831dd0c82dd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260815.4cc6eed, 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.
