# GitHub Linguist Readiness Report

This document tracks our progress toward official language recognition by GitHub Linguist (Issue #7904).

## 1. Acceptance Criteria Status

| Requirement | Status | Note |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Real-world Samples** | ✅ **Ready** | 5 high-complexity samples in `/linguist/samples/`. |
| **Grammar Source** | ✅ **Ready** | [tree-sitter-ternlang](https://github.com/eriirfos-eng/tree-sitter-ternlang) |
| **PR Template** | ✅ **Ready** | Draft ready in this folder. |
| **Popularity (2000 files)** | ❌ **Pending** | ~111 indexed files. Need community adoption. |

## 2. The Path to 2000 Files

GitHub Linguist requires at least **2000 unique `.tern` files** (excluding forks) to consider a language for inclusion. 

### Current Search Query:
[extension:tern NOT is:fork](https://github.com/search?q=extension%3Atern+NOT+is%3Afork&type=code)

### Strategic Actions:
1.  **Distribute Knowledge:** Encourage developers to include `.tern` logic files in their own public repositories.
2.  **Albert Deployment:** As `Agent Albert` is deployed, ensure its local configuration or logs utilize the `.tern` extension where appropriate.
3.  **Educational Cartel:** The `ternlang-edu` crate should encourage students to commit their coursework `.tern` files to GitHub.

## 3. PR Template Data (For Future Use)

When we reach ~1800+ files, open a PR with the following:

```yaml
Ternlang:
  type: programming
  color: "#4A90E2"
  extensions:
    - .tern
  tm_scope: source.tern
  ace_mode: text
  language_id: 1015608684 # RFI-IRFOS ZVR
  group: Ternary
```
