Can I use this to set up pre-commit hooks?

Yes, the skill provides bundled scripts for Git pre-commit hooks and supports popular frameworks like pre-commit (Python) and prek (Rust).

How does this skill minimize changes to existing code?

It uses a weighted scoring system to compare candidate configurations against your current code, prioritizing options that produce the fewest line and whitespace changes to reduce merge conflicts.

How do I troubleshoot unexpected formatting behavior?

The skill provides a dedicated troubleshooting workflow that uses --dump-config to verify configuration detection and references categorized guides to isolate specific style options.

Which programming languages are supported by this clang-format skill?

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

What standard style guides are included as templates?

It includes ready-to-use templates for Google C++, Linux Kernel, Microsoft Visual Studio, and Modern C++17/20 standards.

Developer Tools

Automates the generation, analysis, and integration of C-family code formatting configurations using templates and impact-scoring workflows.

About

This skill empowers Claude to manage complex code formatting tasks by providing a library of ready-to-use templates (Google, Linux, Microsoft) and advanced workflows for analyzing existing codebases. It features a unique impact-scoring system to minimize git-diff noise during adoption, along with integration scripts for Git hooks, Vim, and Emacs, ensuring consistent style across development environments and CI/CD pipelines.

Key Features

Weighted impact-scoring to minimize whitespace changes and merge conflicts during adoption.
Comprehensive categorized reference documentation for over 190 clang-format options.
Step-by-step setup for Git pre-commit hooks, Vim, and Emacs integrations.
11 GitHub stars
Pre-configured templates for Google, Microsoft, Linux Kernel, and Modern C++ standards.
Automated code style analysis and pattern matching to match existing conventions.

Use Cases

Adopting a consistent code style in a legacy project with minimal git-diff disruption.
Setting up automated formatting checks in CI/CD pipelines to enforce coding standards.
Creating a customized .clang-format file based on team-specific formatting preferences.
