Format

SkillDev tools

Auto-format code via the developer CLI - backend (.NET via JetBrains cleanupcode), frontend (oxfmt + oxlint --fix), and the developer CLI itself.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Format skill

dotnet run --project developer-cli -- format [--backend] [--frontend] [--cli] [--self-contained-system <name>] [--no-build] [--all-files] --quiet

Use developer-cli exactly as written - do not expand to an absolute worktree path.

  • --backend - .NET (JetBrains cleanupcode)
  • --frontend - React/TypeScript (oxfmt + oxlint --fix)
  • --cli - the developer CLI itself
  • --self-contained-system <name> - narrows backend formatting to one SCS (e.g. account, main)
  • --no-build - skip the dotnet tool restore step (faster after a recent run)
  • --all-files - format every file in the solution. Default is to format only .cs files changed against origin/main (faster).

No arguments formats everything (changed-only by default). Unformatted code fails CI - commit all changes, never revert.

After build succeeds, run format, lint, test in parallel with --no-build.

Examples

dotnet run --project developer-cli -- format --quiet                                            # everything
dotnet run --project developer-cli -- format --backend --quiet                                  # all backend
dotnet run --project developer-cli -- format --frontend --quiet                                 # frontend
dotnet run --project developer-cli -- format --backend --self-contained-system account --quiet  # one SCS

Always pass --quiet

Verbose output goes to a log file. On success the CLI prints a single line; on failure it prints a short error message - read the log if you need details. Backend is slow - run last. Frontend is fast.
