Cal Corum 9a227204fd fix: remove symlink reference, use CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT paths directly 
The symlink to ~/.local/bin is no longer needed since the command
can reference the script via ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/.

Format, validate, or minify JSON without external online services Bash

When to Use

Use when the user asks to:

  • "prettify json"
  • "format json"
  • "pretty print json"
  • "validate json"
  • "clean up json"
  • Or mentions wanting to format/prettify JSON data

Tool Location

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py

Usage

# From file
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py input.json

# From stdin/pipe
cat data.json | python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py
echo '{"foo":"bar"}' | python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py

# Save to file
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py input.json -o output.json

# Options
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py input.json --indent 4      # Custom indentation
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py input.json --sort-keys     # Sort object keys
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py input.json --compact       # Minify instead of prettify

Options

  • -o, --output FILE: Write to file instead of stdout
  • -i, --indent N: Indentation spaces (default: 2)
  • -s, --sort-keys: Sort object keys alphabetically
  • -c, --compact: Compact output (minify)

Examples

Prettify inline JSON:

echo '{"name":"cal","items":[1,2,3]}' | python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py

Format a file:

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py messy.json -o clean.json

Sort keys and use 4-space indent:

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/json-pretty.py data.json --indent 4 --sort-keys

Privacy Note

Built specifically to avoid posting potentially sensitive JSON to online prettifier services.
