chatter-clan (dormant preservation copy)

Status: Dormant for development, but kept buildable and green in CI. Extracted: 2026-06-15, from TalkBank/chatter.

This repository preserves the talkbank-clan crate (a byte-for-byte Rust reimplementation of CLAN analysis commands) and its clan-reference book section, which were removed from TalkBank/chatter on 2026-06-15 when active development paused. The direction shifted toward integrating frontends with the original C CLAN, and there is no current demand for the Rust reimplementation. The work is preserved here so it can be resumed if demand reappears.

Contents

• crates/talkbank-clan/ : the CLAN-analysis crate (FREQ, MLU, KWAL, COMBO, CHECK, and the analysis/transform/converter framework).
• book/src/clan-reference/ : the CLAN reference documentation, including the honest parity-status.md / parity-roadmap.md / status-matrix.md and the developer parity field guide.

Recovery and history

This repository is a snapshot for discoverability. The canonical recovery point, with the full git history of this code integrated in the chatter workspace (including the CLI clan subcommand and the LSP talkbank/analyze analysis family that drove it), is the pre-clan-vscode-extraction tag in TalkBank/chatter.

To resume

talkbank-clan depends on chatter's core crates (talkbank-model, talkbank-transform, talkbank-parser), so it is not standalone-buildable as extracted. To resume: re-add it as a workspace member of a chatter checkout (or point its path/git dependencies at chatter's core crates), then restore the CLI clan subcommand and, if wanted, the LSP analysis surface from the pre-clan-vscode-extraction tag.
