Can I use my own style guide?

Absolutely. While it includes templates like Google and Microsoft, it is designed to help you analyze your specific codebase and generate a custom .clang-format file.

How does it minimize formatting diffs?

The skill uses a weighted scoring system to compare your existing code against potential configurations, prioritizing settings that result in the fewest line and whitespace changes.

Which editor integrations are included?

It provides specific configuration patterns and scripts for Vim and Emacs, as well as guidance for VS Code and CLion.

What languages does this skill support?

It primarily supports C-family languages including C, C++, Objective-C, Java, JavaScript, and Protobuf.

Can it help with Git hooks?

Yes, it includes pre-configured scripts for both the Python pre-commit framework and the Rust-based prek framework to automate formatting on commit.

Developer Tools

Configures and automates C-style code formatting using intelligent style analysis, pre-built templates, and seamless editor integrations.

This skill empowers developers to implement and maintain consistent code formatting across C, C++, Java, and JavaScript projects by leveraging the power of clang-format. It offers advanced workflows for analyzing existing codebases to generate 'minimal-impact' configurations, effectively reducing git diff noise during refactoring. With bundled templates for major style guides (Google, Microsoft, Linux Kernel) and ready-to-use scripts for Git hooks and editor integrations, it streamlines the entire formatting lifecycle from initial setup to CI/CD enforcement.
