+# Track Specification: Bootstrap gencpp Python Bindings Project
+
+## Overview
+
+Create a new standalone Python project to build CFFI bindings for gencpp (C/C++ staged metaprogramming library). This will eventually provide richer C++ AST understanding than tree-sitter (full type information, operators, specifiers) but is a longer-term effort. This track bootstraps the project structure and initial bindings.
+
+## Current State Audit
+
+### gencpp Analysis (from research)
+- **gencpp**: C++ library for staged metaprogramming with built-in C/C++ parser
+- **Parser**: Non-standards-compliant single-pass parser for declarations/definitions
+- **NOT execution-aware**: Does NOT parse expressions or statements (only declarations)
+- **AST Types**: Code_Class, Code_Struct, Code_Function, Code_Enum, Code_Typedef, etc.
+- **Available bindings**: Odin (82KB binding file demonstrates scope)
+- **Repository**: https://github.com/Ed94/gencpp
+
+### What gencpp Can Extract
+- Function declarations and definitions (signatures only)
+- Class/struct/enum/union definitions
+- Type aliases (typedef)
+- Template declarations (partial)
+- Access specifiers
+- Operators (overload resolution)
+- Preprocessor includes/defines
+
+### What gencpp CANNOT Do
+- Parse function bodies/implementations
+- Expression evaluation
+- Template instantiation
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Create new Python project structure for gencpp bindings
+2. Set up CFFI to interface with gencpp C library
+3. Build minimal viable bindings for declaration extraction
+4. Create Python API matching existing mcp_client patterns
+5. Document future expansion path
+
+## Functional Requirements
+
+### Project Setup
+- Create new repository/project: `gencpp-python-bindings` (or `pygencpp`)
+- Use CFFI for C library binding (pure Python, no C extension compilation required for basic use)
+- Structure: Python package with CFFI-based wrapper
+
+### Core API (Phase 1)
+| Function | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `parse_c_file(path) -> List[Declaration]` | Parse C file, return declarations |
+| `parse_cpp_file(path) -> List[Declaration]` | Parse C++ file, return declarations |
+| `Declaration` dataclass | name, type, line_number, node_type |
+
+### Declaration Types to Bind
+- `Code_Function` / `Code_Function_Fwd`
+- `Code_Struct` / `Code_Struct_Fwd`
+- `Code_Enum` / `Code_Enum_Fwd`
+- `Code_Union` / `Code_Union_Fwd`
+- `Code_Typedef`
+- `Code_Class` (C++)
+- `Code_Namespace` (C++)
+
+### Integration Points (Future)
+- Design Python API to match mcp_client patterns for easy integration
+- Allow language parameter: `parse_file(path, language: str)`
+- Return structured data suitable for skeleton generation
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Pure Python with CFFI (no compiled extensions required at install time)
+- Must work on Windows (gencpp provides win64 precompiled library)
+- Follow existing 1-space indentation code style
+- Include type hints for all public APIs
+
+## Architecture Reference
+
+- **gencpp C library**: Precompiled `gencpp_c11.lib` (Windows) or source compilation
+- **CFFI pattern**: Use `cffi.FFI().set_source()` to wrap C library
+- **Odin bindings reference**: https://github.com/Ed94/gencpp-odin (shows AST type scope)
+- **Existing mcp_client pattern**: `src/mcp_client.py` tool dispatch
+
+## Out of Scope (This Track)
+- Full AST traversal (only top-level declarations)
+- Expression parsing
+- Template instantiation analysis
+- Integration into Manual Slop (future track)
+- macOS/Linux support (Windows first)
+
+## Relationship to Tree-Sitter Track
+
+This is a SEPARATE long-term effort. The tree-sitter track provides immediate C/C++ support. The gencpp bindings track is for future richer functionality:
+
+| Aspect | tree-sitter (Track 1) | gencpp (This Track) |
+|--------|---------------------|---------------------|
+| Scope | Per-file syntax | Per-file declarations |
+| Types | Syntax nodes only | Named types, operators |
+| Timeline | Immediate | Months |
+| Effort | 1-2 weeks | Ongoing |
+
+The tools will be named `ts_c_*` / `ts_cpp_*` for tree-sitter to leave namespace open for `gencpp_*` tools in the future.

+# Track Specification: Tree-Sitter C/C++ MCP Tools
+
+## Overview
+
+Add tree-sitter-based C and C++ parsing support to the MCP client, providing skeleton and outline tools for C/C++ codebases. Tools will be prefixed `ts_c_` and `ts_cpp_` to distinguish from existing Python tools and leave namespace open for future gencpp integration.
+
+## Current State Audit (as of 08e003a)
+
+### Already Implemented
+- `src/file_cache.py`: ASTParser class with tree-sitter-python support
+- `src/mcp_client.py`: 26 MCP tools (all Python-prefixed: `py_get_skeleton`, `py_get_definition`, etc.)
+- `pyproject.toml`: tree-sitter>=0.25.2 and tree-sitter-python>=0.25.0 already listed
+- Existing pattern: `get_skeleton()`, `get_code_outline()` methods extract functions, classes, docstrings
+
+### Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
+- No C/C++ tree-sitter grammars installed
+- No C/C++ parsing logic in ASTParser
+- No MCP tools for C/C++ code extraction
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Add tree-sitter-c and tree-sitter-cpp dependencies
+2. Extend ASTParser to support C and C++ languages
+3. Implement skeleton and outline generation for C/C++ (functions, structs, enums, classes)
+4. Add MCP tools: `ts_c_get_skeleton`, `ts_cpp_get_skeleton`, `ts_c_get_code_outline`, `ts_cpp_get_code_outline`
+5. Register tools in mcp_client dispatch
+
+## Functional Requirements
+
+### Dependencies
+- Add `tree-sitter-c` to pyproject.toml
+- Add `tree-sitter-cpp` to pyproject.toml
+
+### ASTParser Extensions
+- Modify `ASTParser.__init__` to accept "c", "cpp", "python" as valid languages
+- Load appropriate tree-sitter language grammar based on parameter
+- Reuse existing caching mechanism (`get_cached_tree`)
+- Implement C-specific node types: `function_definition`, `struct_specifier`, `enum_specifier`, `typedef`
+- Implement C++-specific node types: all C types plus `class_specifier`, `access_specifier`, `template_declaration`
+
+### MCP Tools
+| Tool Name | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `ts_c_get_skeleton` | Returns C file skeleton (function signatures, struct/union/enum definitions) |
+| `ts_cpp_get_skeleton` | Returns C++ file skeleton (above + class methods, templates, namespaces) |
+| `ts_c_get_code_outline` | Returns hierarchical C outline (functions, structs, enums, globals with line ranges) |
+| `ts_cpp_get_code_outline` | Returns hierarchical C++ outline (above + classes, templates, namespaces) |
+
+### Tool Output Format
+Match existing Python tool formats for consistency:
+- Skeleton: signatures + docstrings, bodies replaced with `...`
+- Outline: hierarchical list with `[Class] name (Lines X-Y)` format
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Follow existing 1-space indentation code style
+- Use exact same patterns as existing Python tree-sitter implementation
+- Maintain AST cache with mtime invalidation (reuse existing logic)
+- Tools must pass allowlist check in mcp_client
+
+## Architecture Reference
+
+- **ASTParser pattern**: `src/file_cache.py:16-333` - existing tree-sitter integration
+- **MCP tool dispatch**: `src/mcp_client.py:920-987` - tool registration and dispatch
+- **Tool schema format**: `src/mcp_client.py:998-1000` - `get_tool_schemas()`
+
+## Out of Scope
+- Cross-file symbol resolution (AI uses search tools for this)
+- Template instantiation analysis
+- Macro expansion
+- gencpp integration (future separate track)
+- Writing to C/C++ files (read-only for now)
