What This Skill Does
A zero-dependency Python command-line tool for JSON manipulation. It pretty-prints, validates, minifies, queries nested values with dot notation, and sorts object keys using only Python's standard library.
No additional packages to install since it relies entirely on Python's standard library, so it works on any machine with Python without a setup step.
When to use it
- Formatting a raw API response to read during debugging
- Checking a config file for JSON syntax errors before deployment
- Extracting a specific nested field from a large JSON payload
- Minifying a JSON file before bundling for production
- Sorting package.json keys before committing to reduce diff noise
