name: ast-grep-rule-crafter description: Write AST-based code search and rewrite rules using ast-grep YAML. Create linting rules, code modernizations, and API migrations with auto-fix. Use when the user mentions ast-grep, tree-sitter patterns, code search rules, lint rules with YAML, AST matching, or code refactoring patterns.

ast-grep Rule Crafter

ast-grep uses tree-sitter to parse code into AST, enabling precise pattern matching. Rules are defined in YAML for linting, searching, and rewriting code.

Quick Start

Copyid: no-console-log
language: JavaScript
rule:
  pattern: console.log($$$ARGS)
fix: logger.log($$$ARGS)
message: Replace console.log with logger

Project Configuration

项目级扫描需要 sgconfig.yml 配置文件：

Copy# sgconfig.yml (项目根目录)
ruleDirs:
  - rules          # 规则目录，递归加载所有 .yml 文件

典型项目结构：

Copymy-project/
├── sgconfig.yml
├── rules/
│   ├── no-console.yml
│   └── custom/
│       └── team-rules.yml
└── src/

运行项目扫描：

Copyast-grep scan              # 自动查找 sgconfig.yml
ast-grep scan --config path/to/sgconfig.yml  # 指定配置

注意: ast-grep scan 命令必须有 sgconfig.yml，而 ast-grep run -p 可单独使用。

Rule Workflow

Lint Rule (常见)

只检查不修复，用于 CI/编辑器提示：

Copy# rules/no-console-log.yml
id: no-console-log
language: JavaScript
severity: warning
message: Avoid console.log in production code
rule:
  pattern: console.log($$$ARGS)

验证：

Copyast-grep scan -r rules/no-console-log.yml src/

Rewrite Rule (可选)

需要自动修复时添加 fix：

Copyid: no-console-log
language: JavaScript
severity: warning
message: Replace console.log with logger
rule:
  pattern: console.log($$$ARGS)
fix: logger.log($$$ARGS)

应用修复：

Copyast-grep scan -r rules/no-console-log.yml --update-all src/

开发流程

Copy- [ ] 1. 用 CLI 探索 pattern: ast-grep -p 'pattern' src/
- [ ] 2. 创建规则文件 (.yml)
- [ ] 3. 验证: ast-grep scan -r rule.yml src/
- [ ] 4. 如有误报 → 添加 constraints → 重新验证

调试 AST 结构：

Copyast-grep -p 'console.log($ARG)' --debug-query ast
