# Formatter

Apply the project's formatting rules to source files.

## Examples

- User says: "format this file" — run the configured formatter on the open file.
- User says: "clean up the imports" — sort and dedupe import groups.

## Common issues

- If no formatter is configured, fall back to the language's default and note it.
