Only run these formatter plugins (comma-separated)Examples: —filter prettier Run only prettier —filter prettier,black Run only prettier and blackUse with —skip to remove plugins from what —filter selects.
Don’t run these formatter plugins (comma-separated)Examples: —skip prettier Run every formatter except prettier —skip prettier,black Run every formatter except prettier and blackWith —filter, —filter picks what runs first and —skip removes from it. When both match, —skip wins: —filter prettier,black —skip black Run only prettierEvery plugin named must be enabled, and skipping every plugin is an error.
Run as this trigger, so only formatters whose triggers include it runEach plugin’s triggers list in qlty.toml names the triggers it runs on. A plugin with no triggers list runs on every trigger. Qlty’s git hooks pass pre-commit to qlty fmt and pre-push to qlty check.Examples: —trigger pre-commit Run only formatters that run on pre-commit[default: manual] [possible values: manual, ide, agent, pre-commit, pre-push, build]
