Implementation Reference

src/commands/hybrid-pipeline.ts:27-44 (handler)

Core implementation of the review.preprocess tool. Handles options, logs skip message, and returns a success response with stats (currently skips actual preprocessing).

export async function preprocessCommand(options: PreprocessOptions) {
  const {
    pattern = "articles/**/*.re",
    output = ".out",
    stats = true,
    cwd
  } = options;

  // Skip preprocessing for now since review-macro-shims is not available
  // In production, this would call the actual preprocessor
  console.log("[preprocess] Skipping JS preprocessing (using standard Re:VIEW)");
  
  return {
    success: true,
    output: "Preprocessing skipped - using standard Re:VIEW",
    stats: stats ? { filesProcessed: 0, macrosExpanded: 0, warnings: [] } : null
  };
}

Tool definition including name, description, and input schema registered in the tools list for ListToolsRequest.

{
  name: "review.preprocess",
  description: "JS preprocessor only - normalizes input and adds metadata",
  inputSchema: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {

src/index.ts:543-555 (registration)

Switch case in CallToolRequestSchema handler that dispatches to hybridCommands.preprocess and returns the result.

case "review.preprocess": {
  const result = await hybridCommands.preprocess({
    cwd: args.cwd as string,
    pattern: args.pattern as string | undefined,
    output: args.output as string | undefined,
    stats: args.stats as boolean | undefined
  });
  return {
    content: [
      { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result) }
    ]
  };
}

src/commands/hybrid-pipeline.ts:9-14 (schema)
TypeScript interface defining the input parameters for the preprocessCommand function.
```
export interface PreprocessOptions {
  pattern?: string;
  output?: string;
  stats?: boolean;
  cwd: string;
}
```

src/commands/hybrid-pipeline.ts:208-213 (registration)

Exports the preprocessCommand as hybridCommands.preprocess for use in index.ts.

export const hybridCommands = {
  preprocess: preprocessCommand,
  buildPdfHybrid: buildPdfHybridCommand,
  checkRubyExtensions: checkRubyExtensionsCommand,
  testMapfile: testMapfileCommand
};
