Add language support/mapping for .inc, .tpl, and .scss files #85
Description
Description
When testing CortexKit AFT on our codebase, many relevant files were skipped as unsupported_language.
In our codebase, these extensions are important:
.inc should be treated as PHP
.tpl should be treated as Smarty templates
.scss should be treated as SCSS
Currently, AFT works well for .js and some .php files, but a large part of the actual application code is ignored because these extensions are unsupported. This makes tools like aft_outline, aft_zoom, and aft_inspect much less useful for PHP/Smarty/SCSS-heavy projects.
A first improvement could be simple extension mapping support, especially:
.inc => php
.tpl => smarty
.scss => scss
Even lightweight outline support for Smarty and SCSS would already be very helpful.

v0.35.0 ships two of the three.
.incis now parsed as PHP, and.scssis a recognized language. Both work withaft_outline,aft_zoom, and AST search..tpl(Smarty) is not included yet. There is no tree-sitter grammar for Smarty we can depend on, so we held it rather than ship something that parses unreliably. Leaving this issue open to track Smarty support.Cyantix commentedon Jun 3, 2026
Thank you so much, this is already a huge improvement for our 20+ years in development enterprise monorep :)

Shipped in v0.35.0:
.incfiles now map to PHP, and.scsshas a real tree-sitter grammar (outline, zoom, ast-grep). Glad it is already helping the monorepo..tpl(Smarty) is the one piece not landing: there is no maintained tree-sitter grammar for Smarty on crates.io, and AFT's whole structural layer (outline, AST, semantic chunking) is built on tree-sitter, so there is nothing to wire it to yet..tplfiles are still fully covered bygrep/globandread/editas plain text. If a usable tree-sitter-smarty grammar appears, adding it is straightforward and we will revisit.Closing since the
.inc+.scssparts are done. Thanks for the report.
