+# Implementation Plan: Tree-Sitter Lua MCP Tools
+
+## Phase 1: Grammar Integration & Base Parser
+- [ ] Task: Update project dependencies (e.g., `requirements.txt` or `pyproject.toml`) to include `tree-sitter-lua` or equivalent.
+- [ ] Task: Write Tests: Verify the tree-sitter parser can successfully initialize the Lua language and parse a simple `local function test() end` string.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Create `src/lua_parser.py` (or extend existing AST parsers) to handle the base Lua tree-sitter initialization and generic node walking.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Grammar Integration & Base Parser' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 2: Structural & Context Tools
+- [ ] Task: Write Tests: Verify `lua_get_skeleton` and `lua_get_code_outline` against a complex Lua file containing nested functions, tables, and block comments.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Add `lua_get_skeleton` logic to extract signatures, table assignments (e.g., `Module.func = function()`), and replace bodies with `...`.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Add `lua_get_code_outline` and `lua_get_docstring` logic to traverse the AST and map line numbers and comments.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Structural & Context Tools' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 3: Surgical Editing Tools
+- [ ] Task: Write Tests: Verify `lua_get_definition` returns the exact source text of a targeted function, and `lua_update_definition` replaces it accurately within a larger file.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Add `lua_get_definition` logic using AST line/byte ranges.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Add `lua_update_definition` and `lua_set_signature` logic to perform string replacement based on strict AST node boundaries.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: Surgical Editing Tools' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 4: MCP Client Integration & Polish
+- [ ] Task: Write Tests: Verify the new tools are successfully registered and invokable via the `mcp_client.py` unified interface.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Register the new `lua_*` functions as official tools in `src/mcp_client.py`.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Ensure the caching layer (mtime invalidation) is correctly applied to the new Lua parsing operations.

+# Specification: Tree-Sitter Lua MCP Tools
+
+## Overview
+Expand the Conductor's AI context-gathering and surgical editing capabilities by introducing full Tree-Sitter parsing support for the Lua programming language. This will bring Lua to feature-parity with the existing Python MCP tools, enabling deep AST-driven structural mapping, documentation extraction, and precise code modification.
+
+## Functional Requirements
+- **Grammar Integration:**
+  - Introduce `tree-sitter-lua` (or a suitable native equivalent) to the project's parsing environment to generate deterministic Abstract Syntax Trees for Lua files.
+- **Structural Parsing Tools:**
+  - **`lua_get_skeleton`:** Extract a high-level view of a Lua file, containing all table/module declarations and function signatures with their associated comments, replacing function bodies with `...`.
+  - **`lua_get_code_outline`:** Generate a hierarchical text outline showing line ranges for major structural elements (functions, loops, distinct blocks).
+- **Documentation & Context Tools:**
+  - **`lua_get_docstring` (or comment block):** Extract the block comment immediately preceding a function or module definition.
+  - **`lua_find_usages`:** Locate usages of specific Lua symbols/functions across a file or directory using AST or strict regex boundaries.
+- **Surgical Editing Tools:**
+  - **`lua_get_definition`:** Extract the full source code of a specific Lua function or table definition.
+  - **`lua_update_definition`:** Surgically replace the implementation of a specific Lua function without relying on generic search-and-replace strings.
+  - **`lua_set_signature`:** Update only the signature (parameters) of a Lua function.
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+- **Performance:** Parsing and skeleton generation should be heavily cached (using `mtime` invalidation) to ensure near-instantaneous responses, matching the current Python tool performance.
+- **Robustness:** The parser must gracefully handle malformed Lua code, returning as much structural information as possible rather than failing entirely.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] A new suite of Lua-specific tools (`lua_get_skeleton`, `lua_get_code_outline`, `lua_get_definition`, `lua_update_definition`) is available via the MCP Client.
+- [ ] Automated tests verify that `lua_get_skeleton` correctly identifies local functions, global functions, and table-assigned methods.
+- [ ] `lua_update_definition` can successfully replace a multi-line function body while maintaining the surrounding file structure and indentation.
+- [ ] The `tree-sitter-lua` grammar is successfully integrated into the build/setup pipeline.
+
+## Out of Scope
+- Full language server protocol (LSP) features like deep type inference or cross-file variable renaming.
+- Automated code formatting or linting for Lua (formatting relies on external ecosystem tools if needed).
