Scribe Core

Core types, utilities, and foundational components for the Scribe code analysis library.

Overview

scribe-core provides the fundamental data structures and traits used across all other Scribe crates. It includes comprehensive error handling, file analysis types, scoring components, configuration management, and extensibility traits.

Features

• Comprehensive Error Handling: Rich error types with proper context and error chaining
• File Analysis: File metadata, language detection, and classification systems
• Scoring System: Heuristic scoring components and configurable weights
• Configuration: Flexible configuration with validation and serialization support
• Extensibility: Traits for custom analyzers, scorers, and formatters
• Utilities: Common functions for path manipulation, string processing, and more

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
scribe-core = "0.1.0"

Basic usage:

use scribe_core::{Config, Language, ScoreComponents, HeuristicWeights, Result};

// Create a default configuration
let config = Config::default();

// Detect programming language from file extension
let language = Language::from_extension("rs");
assert_eq!(language, Language::Rust);

// Work with scoring components
let mut scores = ScoreComponents::zero();
scores.doc_score = 0.8;
scores.import_score = 0.6;

let weights = HeuristicWeights::default();
scores.compute_final_score(&weights);

println!("Final score: {}", scores.final_score);

Key Types

Error Handling

• ScribeError: Comprehensive error type for all Scribe operations
• Result<T>: Type alias for std::result::Result<T, ScribeError>

File Analysis

• FileInfo: Complete file metadata and analysis results
• Language: Programming language detection and classification
• FileType: File type classification (source, test, documentation, etc.)
• RenderDecision: Include/exclude decisions for files

Scoring System

• ScoreComponents: Individual heuristic score components
• HeuristicWeights: Configurable weights for scoring
• RepositoryInfo: Repository-level statistics and metadata

Configuration

• Config: Main configuration structure
• FeatureFlags: Enable/disable experimental features
• Various sub-configurations for filtering, analysis, performance, etc.

Traits for Extensibility

• FileAnalyzer: Custom file analysis implementations
• HeuristicScorer: Custom scoring algorithms
• OutputFormatter: Custom output formats
• CacheStorage: Custom caching implementations

Architecture

The crate is organized into several modules:

• error: Comprehensive error types and handling
• file: File metadata and analysis types
• types: Core data structures and scoring components
• config: Configuration management
• traits: Extensibility traits and abstractions
• utils: Common utility functions

Memory Safety and Performance

Scribe Core is built with Rust's ownership principles in mind:

• Zero-cost abstractions: Efficient implementations without runtime overhead
• Memory safety: Compile-time guarantees prevent common bugs
• Thread safety: Safe concurrent operations where appropriate
• Resource efficiency: Minimal memory allocations in hot paths

Testing

Run the test suite:

cargo test

Run benchmarks:

cargo bench

Contributing

This crate serves as the foundation for the entire Scribe ecosystem. When adding new functionality:

1. Ensure comprehensive error handling using ScribeError
2. Add proper documentation and examples
3. Include unit tests for all new functionality
4. Consider thread safety and performance implications
5. Follow existing naming conventions and patterns
