formatting-and-highlighting
Execution skill. Use when applying metric default formatting — decimals, prefix, suffix, currency ($/€), percent (%), K/M/bp/thousand/million scaling, thousand separator, sign / zero / negative handling, text mode (Text / Rich Text / URL / Image / LocaleDateTime), boolean display (checkbox / button). Load it when creating a metric whose values are not plain counts -- a ratio, percentage, growth, currency, boolean or text metric (comments, notes, links, URLs) -- even if the user said nothing about formatting.

Manual command
git clone https://github.com/gopigment/ai-plugins /tmp/ai-plugins && ln -s /tmp/ai-plugins/skills/formatting-and-highlighting ~/.claude/skills/formatting-and-highlightingFrom README
Formatting and Highlighting Set formatting on tool:createmetric / tool:updatemetric via the defaultFormat field. A metric's default format applies to every View, Board, KPI, Grid, and Chart that displays it. Skip this skill for tool:updatemetric calls that don't touch default format (renaming, changing dimensions, editing description). Out of scope: view display modes, aggregators, sort, filter; static and conditional cell formatting (background/text color, bold, italic, alignment, highlight rules, color scales) -- use skill:designing-boards-and-views (tool:updateviewformatting). Critical Rules Set formatting on the metric, not on the view. Views have no number-formatting tools. numberFormatOptions is required inside default format. Pass {} if you only set textFormatOptions or booleanFormatOptions. Omitting a field leaves it unset. There is no way to clear an individual field. Modeler context overrides inference.
