PowerShell Formatter

This tool solves the common problem of inconsistent formatting in PowerShell scripts. It targets developers, IT operations professionals, and automation engineers who collaborate on shared codebases or prepare scripts for production. Users provide raw PowerShell code through the tool, and the formatter outputs a canonical version with uniform indentation, consistent line breaks, and predictable brace placement. The result is easier to review, merge, and maintain across teams. The formatter does not execute code; it only rewrites formatting while preserving behavior and comments in most cases.
Under the hood, the formatter follows a rule-based parsing approach: it tokenizes the input, builds an internal representation of blocks, and re-emits tokens according to selected style settings. By default, it uses 4-space indentation and a conservative line-length policy; advanced profiles allow 2-space indentation, trailing-space trimming, and comment alignment. Outputs are diff-friendly and can be copied or downloaded. The tool also detects and reports basic syntax errors, enabling quick fixes before further testing.
Core value lies in consistency and efficiency. In CI pipelines and pre-commit hooks, automated formatting reduces review time and helps enforce coding standards. Teams can save time during onboarding, code refactoring, and sharing samples. Unique differentiators include configurable style profiles, preservation of intentional formatting in strings and comments, and the ability to produce a clean, minimal diff when comparing changes. It serves PowerShell users across Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core environments.
