checking-code-formatting

Code formatting checks analyze source files for style inconsistencies across languages like Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, Go, and Java. This Skill scans your repository to detect trailing whitespace, mixed line endings, indentation problems, line-length violations, and language-specific style deviations, then produces a structured report with file paths, line numbers, and recommended fixes.

The Skill identifies trailing whitespace, mixed line endings, indentation inconsistencies, line-length violations, blank-line problems, and language-specific style deviations. It targets common source files including .py, .js, .ts, .jsx, .tsx, .rs, .go, .java, .cpp, .c, and .h files across your entire repository or specified targets.

Yes, you can run formatting checks on the entire repository or specify particular targets. The Skill analyzes your codebase comprehensively and produces a language-aware report detailing all formatting issues found with exact file paths and line numbers.

The Skill generates automated suggestions for detected formatting problems and can integrate with formatters for optional automated corrections. Each issue in the structured report includes recommended fixes to help you resolve style inconsistencies.

Trailing whitespace refers to extra spaces or tabs at the end of lines, while line-ending issues involve mixed line terminators (CRLF vs LF). The Skill detects both separately, allowing you to address each formatting inconsistency type independently across your codebase.
