script: setup-formatters

Location: scripts/setup-formatters.sh

Purpose

Opts a project into the auto-formatting system by creating a formatters/ directory with symlinks back to the canonical formatter scripts in claude-foundations.

Usage

scripts/setup-formatters.sh <project-dir> <ext> [<ext> ...]

Run with no arguments to see available formatters: py, sh, ts, js, sql, json, yaml, md.

How it works

  1. Creates <project-dir>/formatters/ if needed
  2. Computes a relative path from the project's formatters/ to claude-foundations/formatters/
  3. Creates symlinks for each requested extension
  4. If the project is a git repo and has no pre-commit hook, installs pre-commit-lint.sh as the git pre-commit hook

Gotchas

  • Uses python3 for relative path computation — requires Python 3 available.
  • Won't overwrite an existing pre-commit hook.
  • The formatters/ directory can be committed (symlinks) or gitignored — project's choice.
