Configures shfmt for consistent shell script formatting across POSIX Shell, Bash, and mksh environments.
The shfmt-configuration skill empowers developers to implement professional-grade shell script formatting standards using the shfmt parser and formatter. It provides comprehensive guidance on setting up .shfmt.toml files, integrating with EditorConfig, and defining team-wide conventions for indentation, binary operator placement, and switch-case logic. By automating these stylistic choices, the skill ensures shell scripts remain readable, maintainable, and portable across different shell dialects while integrating seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines and pre-commit workflows.
