# GrepAI Supported Languages

This skill covers the programming languages supported by GrepAI for indexing and call graph analysis.

## When to Use This Skill

- Checking if your language is supported
- Configuring language-specific settings
- Understanding trace capabilities per language
- Troubleshooting language-related issues

## Supported Languages Overview

GrepAI supports indexing for **all text-based files**, but has enhanced support for specific programming languages.

## Language Configuration

### Enabling/Disabling Languages for Trace

```yaml
# .grepai/config.yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .go
    - .js
    - .ts
    - .jsx
    - .tsx
    - .py
    - .php
    - .rs
    - .c
    - .cpp
    - .cs
    - .java
```

### Excluding Certain Extensions

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .go
    # Exclude JavaScript intentionally
    # - .js

  exclude_patterns:
    - "*_test.go"
    - "*.spec.ts"
```

## Language-Specific Tips

### Go

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .go
  exclude_patterns:
    - "*_test.go"
    - "mock_*.go"
    - "*_mock.go"
```

**Trace accuracy:** Excellent. Go's explicit syntax makes tracing very reliable.

### JavaScript/TypeScript

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .js
    - .jsx
    - .ts
    - .tsx
  exclude_patterns:
    - "*.test.js"
    - "*.spec.ts"
    - "*.d.ts"  # Type declarations
```

**Trace accuracy:** Good. Some dynamic patterns may be missed.

### Python

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .py
  exclude_patterns:
    - "test_*.py"
    - "*_test.py"
    - "conftest.py"
```

**Trace accuracy:** Good. Dynamic imports and decorators may be missed.

### C/C++

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .c
    - .h
    - .cpp
    - .hpp
    - .cc
    - .cxx
  exclude_patterns:
    - "*_test.cpp"
```

**Trace accuracy:** Good. Macros and templates may affect accuracy.

### Rust

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .rs
  exclude_patterns:
    - "**/tests/**"
    - "**/benches/**"
```

**Trace accuracy:** Excellent. Rust's explicit syntax aids accurate tracing.

### PHP

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .php
  exclude_patterns:
    - "*Test.php"
    - "**/tests/**"
```

**Trace accuracy:** Good. Magic methods may not be fully traced.

### Java

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .java
  exclude_patterns:
    - "*Test.java"
    - "**/test/**"
```

**Trace accuracy:** Good. Reflection-based calls may be missed.

### C#

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    - .cs
  exclude_patterns:
    - "*Tests.cs"
    - "**/Tests/**"
```

**Trace accuracy:** Good. Delegates and events may be partially traced.

## Multi-Language Projects

For projects with multiple languages:

```yaml
trace:
  enabled_languages:
    # Backend (Go)
    - .go
    # Frontend (TypeScript)
    - .ts
    - .tsx
    # Shared (SQL, etc.)
    - .sql  # Index only

  exclude_patterns:
    - "*_test.go"
    - "*.spec.ts"
```

## Index vs Trace Explained

### Index (Semantic Search)

- Works on **any text file**
- Code is chunked and embedded
- Enables semantic search
- No language-specific parsing required

### Trace (Call Graphs)

- Requires **language-specific parsing**
- Extracts function definitions and calls
- Builds caller/callee relationships
- Uses regex (fast) or tree-sitter (precise)

## Trace Modes by Language

| Language | Fast Mode | Precise Mode |
|----------|-----------|--------------|
| Go | ✅ | ✅ |
| JavaScript | ✅ | ✅ |
| TypeScript | ✅ | ✅ |
| Python | ✅ | ✅ |
| PHP | ✅ | ✅ |
| C/C++ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Rust | ✅ | ✅ |
| Zig | ✅ | ✅ |
| C# | ✅ | ✅ |
| Java | ✅ | ✅ |
| Pascal | ✅ | ⚠️ Limited |

## Adding Custom Extensions

If you have non-standard extensions, they'll be indexed but not traced:

```yaml
# Custom extension files will be indexed
ignore:
  # Only add patterns for files you DON'T want indexed
  - "*.generated.go"
```

## File Type Detection

GrepAI uses file extensions for detection. It does NOT use:
- Shebangs (`#!/usr/bin/env python`)
- File content analysis
- .editorconfig

## Unsupported Languages (Index Works, No Trace)

These languages can be indexed for semantic search but don't have trace support:

- Ruby
- Swift
- Kotlin
- Scala
- Elixir
- Clojure
- Haskell
- OCaml
- F#
- Erlang
- R
- Julia
- Perl
- Groovy

**Workaround:** Use semantic search to find code, then manually trace.

## Best Practices

1. **Enable only needed languages:** Faster trace building
2. **Exclude test files:** Cleaner trace results
3. **Use precise mode for accuracy:** When trace results seem incomplete
4. **Match your tech stack:** Configure based on your actual languages

## Checking Language Support

```bash
# Check what's being indexed
grepai status

# Will show file counts by type
```

## Common Issues

❌ **Problem:** Files not being indexed
✅ **Solution:** Check file isn't in ignore patterns

❌ **Problem:** Trace missing for language
✅ **Solution:** Ensure language is in `enabled_languages`

❌ **Problem:** Wrong language detected
✅ **Solution:** GrepAI uses extensions only; rename files if needed
