Run the fmt script for every selected package and module that declares one. The command is standalone and keeps its own cache for format runs.

​
Usage

​
Examples

Format every package and module that has a fmt script:
Format only selected modules and packages:
Show failed task output in the report:
Force every selected format task to run again:
Run formatting from another workspace directory:

​
Options

​
Execution

fmt discovers workspace targets, applies the package and module filters, sorts the selected targets, and builds a task group from targets that declare fmt. Targets without a fmt script are left out. If no selected target declares the script, the command prints Skipped fmt (no such script) and exits successfully. For a target with a package.json, the task runs bun run fmt. For a recognized Rust or Python target without a package.json, it runs that target’s default format command directly.
workspace:run --commands=fmt delegates to this standalone command, so the cache and behavior match talos fmt.

​
Caching

Format entries live in var/cache/fmt. fmt uses its own fingerprint cache, separate from build, lint, test, and workspace runs. Pass --no-cache to bypass both reads and writes.

​
Output

The command prints the task count before running, then a Fmt report with one row per task that ran or replayed from cache. Cached tasks are marked cached. Failed tasks appear under Failing tasks; use --logs to include their captured output.
