Feature Request: PowerShell Script Support for Code Graph Analysis

Summary

Feature Request: Add support for PowerShell scripts in Code Graph analysis and agent capabilities. Currently, agents are unable to recognize and analyze PowerShell scripts through queries, which limits their effectiveness in repositories that utilize PowerShell for automation and development tasks.

Description

Many development teams use PowerShell scripts as part of their development workflow for automation, deployment, and infrastructure management. However, the current implementation of Code Graph does not include analysis capabilities for PowerShell files. This limitation prevents agents from understanding and working with PowerShell scripts effectively.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Code Understanding: Agents will be able to analyze and understand PowerShell scripts, improving overall code comprehension.
  • Improved Workflow: Development teams can leverage agents for tasks involving PowerShell scripts.
  • Comprehensive Analysis: Code Graph will provide a more complete view of the codebase, including all scripting components.
  • Increased Productivity: Developers can query and analyze PowerShell scripts more efficiently.

Requested Features

  • Script Recognition: Ability to identify and parse PowerShell script files (.ps1, .psm1, .psd1).
  • Code Analysis: Comprehensive analysis of PowerShell syntax, functions, and commands.
  • Query Support: Enable agents to search, analyze, and work with PowerShell scripts through queries.
  • Integration: Seamless integration with existing Code Graph capabilities.

Use Cases

  • Analyzing PowerShell scripts for code reviews
  • Searching for specific functions or commands within PowerShell files
  • Understanding dependencies between PowerShell scripts and other code components
  • Automating tasks involving PowerShell script analysis

Technical Considerations

  • Support for various PowerShell versions
  • Handling of PowerShell-specific syntax and constructs
  • Integration with existing code analysis pipelines
  • Performance optimization for large PowerShell codebases

By implementing this feature, Code Graph will become a more versatile and powerful tool for development teams that rely on PowerShell scripting in their workflows.
