Code Formatting & Style Guide Enforcement

Challenge

Inconsistent code formatting leads to messy codebases, increased code review friction, and higher chances of bugs or misunderstandings. As projects scale — especially with distributed teams — enforcing consistent indentation, naming conventions, and import ordering becomes critical. Traditional formatting tools require manual setup, and cloud-based AI assistants can’t be trusted with sensitive code due to privacy and IP risks.

Solution

AgentOne enables developers to apply code formatting and style guide checks instantly, directly on their local desktop. By leveraging natural language prompts, developers can instruct AgentOne to apply a formatter (like Prettier, Black, ESLint, or custom rules) across the codebase. AgentOne verifies indentation, naming conventions, import ordering, and other style guide rules — flagging violations and suggesting corrections in seconds. All processing happens on-device, ensuring proprietary codebases stay secure and private.
