Mojo Format Skill
Format Mojo code files to ensure consistent style.
When to Use
- •Preparing code for commit
- •Pre-commit hook reports formatting issues
- •Code review requests formatting fixes
- •Verifying formatting compliance
Quick Reference
bash
# Format single file pixi run mojo format path/to/file.mojo # Format directory pixi run mojo format `find scylla/ -name "*.mojo"` # Check without modifying pixi run mojo format --check path/to/file.mojo
Workflow
- •Identify files - Single file or directory
- •Run formatter -
pixi run mojo format <path> - •Verify changes - Review formatted output
- •Commit - Stage and commit formatted code
Mojo-Specific Notes
- •Formats indentation (4 spaces), line length, spacing around operators
- •Does NOT change logic, variable names, or comment content
- •Preserves all comments, only adjusts spacing
- •Safe to run multiple times (idempotent)
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
Syntax error | Invalid Mojo syntax | Fix syntax before formatting |
File not found | Wrong path | Verify file exists |
Permission denied | File permissions | Check chmod settings |
Mojo not installed | Missing Mojo | Install via pixi or Magic |
