If the compiled grammar is available, you can go into any buffer (regardless if you have a mode or not) and run M-x treesit-explore-mode. It will prompt you for the name of language and will open a new buffer with the abstract syntax tree for the buffer (the result of the parsing). Last time I tried to dabble into Treesitter, I found go-ts-mode very helpful. It is a non-trivial yet not too complex example of a tree sitter mode.
