About This Skill
What it does
The format-detector skill identifies the format of text provided as input. It can determine if a given block of text is in formats like JSON, CSV, or Markdown. This allows AI agents to process and interpret data more effectively based on its structure.
When to use it
- Data Extraction: Use it when you need an agent to understand the format of raw data before parsing or transforming it.
- Content Analysis: Determine if a piece of text is structured (like CSV) versus unstructured (plain text).
- File Type Identification: Quickly identify the file type based on its content, even without relying solely on file extensions.
- Data Validation: Check if incoming data conforms to an expected format before further processing.
Key capabilities
- Format identification (JSON, CSV, Markdown)
- Text input analysis
- Structured data recognition
Example prompts
- "What is the format of this text:
{'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30}?" - "Can you detect the format of this content:
header1,header2\nvalue1,value2?" - “Identify the format of this block: `# This is a heading\nThis is some text.””
Tips & gotchas
The skill's accuracy depends on the clarity and completeness of the input text. Very short or incomplete snippets might lead to incorrect format identification.
