📊 Markdown Table Formatter

What it does

The Markdown Table Formatter is a specialized utility designed to clean up messy, poorly aligned GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) tables. It normalizes column widths and handles spacing to ensure your documentation remains readable in raw text format. Beyond simple formatting, it provides bridge functionality to convert CSV and TSV data directly into valid Markdown tables.

Why use this skill

Manual table formatting in Markdown is tedious and error-prone. While many AI agents can "fix" a table, they often hallucinate cell content or alter data unintentionally. This skill uses a deterministic formatting engine that guarantees cell content remains untouched while strictly enforcing structural alignment. It is ideal for developers maintaining large documentation repositories where visual consistency is required.

• CSV/TSV Conversion: Quickly transform spreadsheet exports into Markdown.
