Automatically configures pre-commit hooks to lint and format Makefiles using mbake.
This skill automates the setup of quality checks for Makefiles by integrating the mbake formatter into your pre-commit workflow. It intelligently scans your repository for existing Makefiles, detects or initializes a pre-commit configuration file, and injects a specialized local hook that enforces consistent indentation and spacing. This is particularly useful for teams looking to maintain clean build scripts and catch formatting errors before they reach the repository, ensuring a standardized development environment.
