What is Code Formatter?
The Code Formatter skill is an indispensable tool designed for developers who want to keep their codebase clean, readable, and standardized without manual effort. Built to integrate seamlessly within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, this skill takes raw, poorly structured, or messy code snippets and instantly transforms them into beautifully formatted, compliant code. By adhering to industry-standard style guides, it ensures your files remain clean and organized.\n\nWhether you are writing Python, modern JavaScript, TypeScript, or Go, this skill automates the tedious aspects of code aesthetics. It acts as an on-demand linter and formatter that helps maintain consistency across teams and personal projects alike, making it a must-have addition to your library of Openclaw Skills.
Code Formatter Use Cases
- Beautifying Legacy Code: Instantly clean up legacy or minified scripts to make them readable for debugging.\n- Pre-commit Formatting: Quickly format code snippets before committing them to a repository or pasting them into documentation.\n- Cross-Language Standardization: Maintain consistent formatting across multi-language projects (e.g., Python backend with a React frontend).\n- Learning and Code Review: Teach junior developers community-standard styling rules by comparing raw input with formatted output.
How Code Formatter Works
- Language Detection: The skill identifies the language of the provided code snippet or prompts the user for clarification if it is ambiguous.\n2. Syntax Validation: Before applying any style rules, the system performs a quick syntax validation to catch issues like missing braces or unclosed quotes.\n3. Rule Application: It applies the specific formatting guidelines for the target language (e.g., PEP 8 for Python, gofmt for Go, or 2-space indentation for web technologies).\n4. Output Generation: The polished, formatted code is presented in a clean Markdown block with proper syntax highlighting.\n5. Change Summary: The user receives a brief, clear explanation outlining exactly what modifications were made to ensure full transparency.
Code Formatter Setup
To enable the Code Formatter skill in your Openclaw Skills environment, add it to your configuration directory:\n\nbash\nmkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/code-formatter\ncurl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openclaw/skills/main/code-formatter/SKILL.md -o ~/.openclaw/skills/code-formatter/SKILL.md\n\n\nOnce added, restart your agent to discover and activate the formatter capabilities automatically.
Code Formatter Data Schema & Taxonomy
The Code Formatter skill processes inputs dynamically and maintains no local database, ensuring your proprietary code remains secure. Here is how the schema and standard options are structured:\n\n| Parameter | Type | Description | Required |\n| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |\n| code | string | The raw, unformatted code snippet. | Yes |\n| language | string | The language identifier (e.g., python, javascript, go). | No (will auto-detect) |\n\n### Supported Style Matrix\n- Python: PEP 8 standards, 4-space indentation, single quotes preferred.\n- JavaScript/TypeScript: 2-space indentation, optional semi-colons, braces on the same line.\n- Go: Strict gofmt compliance utilizing tabs (width 8).\n- HTML/CSS/JSON: 2-space indentation with clean element breaking and key structures.
Code Formatter Advanced Features
- Auto-Language Detection: Smart contextual analysis to determine the coding language without manual tags.\n- Syntax Error Feedback: Identifies broken structures (e.g., unmatched braces, missing quotes) before attempting to format, preventing corrupted files.\n- Rule-Based Explanations: Provides granular detail on what style guidelines were corrected, acting as an educational code review assistant.\n- Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with other Openclaw Skills to enable automatic formatting within larger, multi-agent development pipelines.
