Clang-Format Configuration FAQs

Question 1

Which programming languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

While highly optimized for C and C++, the skill also supports other languages compatible with clang-format, including Java, JavaScript, Objective-C, Protobuf, and C#. It includes specific templates for modern C++ standards (C++17/20).

Question 2

When should I invoke this skill in Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

You should use this skill whenever you need to establish a consistent coding style, troubleshoot why clang-format isn't behaving as expected, or when you want to automate formatting via Git hooks or editor integrations like Vim and Emacs.

Question 3

How does this skill help minimize Git diff noise?

Accepted Answer

The skill uses a unique weighted impact scoring system. When analyzing your code, it tests multiple configuration hypotheses and selects the one that results in the fewest line-count changes, ensuring your formatting updates don't create unnecessary merge conflicts or messy pull requests.

Question 4

What does the Clang-Format Configuration skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill empowers Claude to automatically generate, analyze, and troubleshoot .clang-format configurations. It can create new files from templates (like Google or Linux Kernel), analyze your existing codebase to match its current style, and set up automation scripts for your development workflow.

Question 5

Can I use this to match a specific team style guide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can ask Claude to 'analyze the current project style' or provide a specific guide. The skill will systematically examine your braces, indentation, and alignment patterns to generate a configuration that codifies your team's dominant conventions.
