## What it is
cmake_format is a source code formatter for CMake listfiles, written in Python. It parses CMake files and reformats them with consistent layout, indentation, and argument alignment.

## Use cases
- format cmake files consistently across a project
- enforce cmake style in CI
- auto-format cmake listfiles on save
- clean up messy CMakeLists.txt files
- standardize cmake formatting across a team

## When to choose
- you maintain CMake-based C/C++ projects and want consistent formatting
- you want automated cmake style enforcement in code review or CI

## When to avoid
- you need formatting for languages other than CMake
- you need a full CMake linter or static analyzer

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: formatter, cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cli, cross-platform, python
- tags: cmake, code-formatting, linting, command-line
