What This Skill Does
A Python command-line utility for inspecting and transforming JSON data using only the standard library. Supports pretty-printing, minification, validation, key sorting, and dot-notation queries. Works with files or stdin for pipeline use.
Zero dependencies means it runs anywhere Python is installed without a virtual environment or package manager.
When to use it
- Formatting an API response before reading it
- Validating a config file before deploying
- Extracting a nested value from a large JSON blob
- Minifying a JSON file for a production build
- Sorting package.json keys for a clean diff
