How much Poka reads

B4 Summary. The container and metadata are read and summarised (counts, properties, structure), but the main content is not rendered.

Confidence: medium (the reviewer read the code). Basis: Reviewed 2026-10-26: read parsers/poka-ahk/src/main.rs (302 lines) and plugin.json in full. The crate has no unit tests and no tests/samples.rs, and the corpus has no .ahk and .ahk2 sample, so the tier rests on reading the code. Covers .ahk and .ahk2. The output is a metadata card of counts found by matching text line by line: #Requires, #SingleInstance and #NoTrayIcon, #Include, hotkeys, hotstrings, functions, classes, #HotIf and #IfWin blocks, Loop, Send, MsgBox and Return, SendMode, CoordMode and line counts. Judgement: B4, because the structure is summarised but the source itself is never shown.

What Poka does not read

  • The source text is not shown: the card carries only counts and a few sample names, with no code view or highlighting
  • Constructs are found by matching text line by line, not by parsing, so multi-line declarations, nested or indented definitions and keywords inside strings or comments can be miscounted
  • Counts of named items stop where their name list is capped (hotkeys at 24, classes at 16, functions at 32), so a larger file under-reports them
  • Files over 16 MiB are cut to the first 16 MiB (the card says so)
  • Text that is not UTF-8 is decoded with replacement characters; no other encoding is tried

Libraries

Libraries Poka uses or has assessed for this format, with the status, licence and language the registry records.

  • AutoHotkey (interpreter) (reference; GPL-2.0; C++; https://github.com/AutoHotkey/AutoHotkey) — copyleft; The reference implementation loads and parses scripts, but no reusable parser API was confirmed from the repo page.
  • ahk_parser.js (candidate; licence unconfirmed; JavaScript/TypeScript; https://github.com/FuPeiJiang/ahk_parser.js) — Tokenises AHK v1 code and converts to v2; work in progress, no LICENSE file seen on the page.
