About This Skill
What it does
This skill provides Python code formatting capabilities. It takes unstructured or poorly formatted Python code as input and outputs clean, readable, and properly indented code adhering to common style conventions (likely PEP 8). This helps improve code clarity and maintainability.
When to use it
- You have a block of Python code that is difficult to read due to inconsistent indentation or spacing.
- You need to quickly standardize the formatting of generated Python code from another skill.
- You want to ensure your AI agent's outputted Python code adheres to consistent style guidelines.
- You are debugging and need to visually inspect the structure of a piece of Python code.
Key capabilities
- Python code formatting
- Indentation correction
- Spacing normalization
Example prompts
- "Format this Python code:
def my_function(a,b): \n return a+ b" - "Please format the following block of Python and ensure it is PEP 8 compliant."
- "Clean up this Python code for readability:" [paste code here]
Tips & gotchas
The skill assumes you are providing valid Python code. Providing non-Python code will likely result in unexpected or error output.
