history
Project history and usage
ts_query_ls is a language-server implementation for Tree-sitter query files. Its README documents configuration, diagnostics, formatting, CI checking, linting, profiling, editor setup, and Tree-sitter-specific query analysis.
Project history
The project focuses on the tooling gap around .scm query files used by Tree-sitter grammars and editor integrations. Instead of being a general language server, it specializes in Tree-sitter query syntax, parser discovery, capture and predicate validation, query-module imports, and compatibility with query workspace layouts.
Adoption history
GitHub release history shows an active 3.x line with contributors beyond the original author. Release notes mention Homebrew packaging documentation in v3.14.0, VS Code client support in v3.12.0, Neovim documentation updates in v3.16.0, and ongoing dependency updates for Tree-sitter.
How it is used
Users configure the server through initialization or a `.tsqueryrc.json` discovered in the workspace or ancestor directories. Outside editor LSP usage, the same binary can format query directories, run CI checks, lint captures and predicates without parser objects, and profile slow query patterns.
Why package nerds care
The package matters in a narrow but real developer-tools niche: people maintaining Tree-sitter grammars, Neovim queries, Zed queries, and editor runtime queries need validation before errors appear inside an editor or runtime. Packaging it for Homebrew and Nix makes that workflow available as a normal CLI rather than only as editor configuration.
Timeline
- 2025: v3.12.0 release notes included bare-bones VS Code client support.
- 2025: v3.14.0 release notes documented Homebrew packaging and crates.io publishing work.
- 2026: v3.16.0 updated Neovim config docs, bumped Tree-sitter, and added a check option to ignore specific languages.
Related projects
- ts_query_ls is built around Tree-sitter query files and related parser artifacts.
- It is adjacent to Neovim, VS Code, Zed, and other editor ecosystems that rely on Tree-sitter queries for highlighting, captures, injections, folds, and related language features.
