The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Put a version-pinned dprint.json (or .config/dprint.json, 0.64+) in the repository root.

    line 19

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

dprint

The formatter for configuration and markup files (JSON, Markdown, TOML, YAML); dprint formats only, while Python formatting and linting live in ruff.

Configuration

Put a version-pinned dprint.json (or .config/dprint.json, 0.64+) in the repository root; never rely on the global fallback config in gates, since it can prompt before fmt.

  1. Copy (default): copy a known-good dprint.json into the project root; it is self-contained and version-pinned. The first run downloads uncached plugins; later runs use dprint's local cache. Bump plugin versions per repository.
  2. Extends (DRY): set "extends" to a single source of truth, a local path or a commit-pinned URL such as "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fmind/dot/<commit>/dprint.json"; override rules or add plugins locally.

Commands

Repository tasks own the two gate commands; add and pin a plugin with dprint add <plugin>.

[tasks."format:dprint"]
description = "Format JSON, Markdown, TOML, YAML (dprint)"
run = "dprint fmt --allow-no-files" # mise appends the hook's {staged_files}; the flag keeps an empty list from exiting 14

[tasks."check:format"]
description = "Check config and markup formatting (dprint)"
run = "dprint check" # non-zero exit on drift

Gotchas

  • Prefer npm: plugin references: npm:@dprint/markdown@<version> over https://plugins.dprint.dev/...wasm URLs; both resolve, and dprint config update --dry-run previews newer versions, including moving URL plugins to npm specifiers; upgrade-tools applies them.
  • Load plugins for embedded code: the Markdown plugin formats fenced JSON, TOML, and YAML only when those plugins are loaded too.
  • Format staged, check the whole tree: format:dprint takes {staged_files} from the hook, which restages fixes; check:format always runs on the whole tree. Outside a hook, dprint fmt --staged or --dirty selects the staged or uncommitted files itself.
