TuyaOpen Code Format Check

SDK root: All $OPEN_SDK_PYTHON tools/check_format.py commands must be run from the TuyaOpen SDK root ($OPEN_SDK_ROOT). The bundled check_files.py script resolves the SDK root automatically via $OPEN_SDK_ROOT or by walking upward for .clang-format.

Overview

tools/check_format.py validates C/C++ files (.c, .cpp, .h, .hpp, .cc, .cxx) against three rules:

1. clang-format compliance — governed by .clang-format at the repo root (LLVM-based style with 4-space indent).
2. No Chinese characters — checks all content including comments and strings. Only English text is allowed in source code.
3. Proper file headers — Doxygen-style with @file, @brief, and @copyright (must include current year + "All Rights Reserved").

Paths listed in .clang-format-ignore are excluded (third-party libraries: cJSON, FlashDB, lwip, coreMQTT, etc.).

Prerequisites

clang-format must be installed. It is included in the system dependencies (sudo apt-get install clang-format). If missing, the format check will be skipped with a warning.

Usage

All commands must be run from the SDK root ($OPEN_SDK_ROOT, where .clang-format lives).

Check specific files (recommended for Agent use)

$OPEN_SDK_PYTHON tools/check_format.py --debug --files path/to/file.c path/to/file.h

Supports glob patterns: --files "src/tal_system/**/*.c"

Check a directory recursively

$OPEN_SDK_PYTHON tools/check_format.py --debug --dir src/tal_system/

Check all files in current directory (debug mode fallback)

$OPEN_SDK_PYTHON tools/check_format.py --debug

When --debug is used without --files or --dir, it scans the current working directory recursively for all C/C++ files.

PR mode (CI / pre-merge)

Checks files modified relative to a base branch (uses git diff):

$OPEN_SDK_PYTHON tools/check_format.py                     # default: --base master
$OPEN_SDK_PYTHON tools/check_format.py --base main          # custom base branch

Verbose output

Add -v to any mode for detailed information:

$OPEN_SDK_PYTHON tools/check_format.py --debug --files foo.c -v

Important Notes

• --files and --dir require --debug flag — they are ignored in PR mode.
• The script locates the SDK root by searching upward for .clang-format.
• Exit code: 0 = all checks pass, 1 = errors found.
• Header warnings (suggestions) do not cause failure; only errors do.

Agent Workflow

When editing C/C++ files in this repo:

1. Make your changes.
2. Check for sensitive information before committing (see below).
3. Run the bundled wrapper: $OPEN_SDK_PYTHON .agents/skills/tuyaopen/code-check/scripts/check_files.py <changed_files> Or directly: $OPEN_SDK_PYTHON tools/check_format.py --debug --files <changed_files>
4. If format errors: run clang-format -style=file -i <file> to auto-fix, then re-check.
5. If Chinese character errors: replace Chinese text with English — this applies to comments and strings too, not just identifiers.
6. If header errors: ensure the file starts with a proper Doxygen header (see template below). Pay attention to the copyright year.

Sensitive Information Check

Before committing or pushing code, verify that no sensitive information is included:

• Device credentials: UUID, AuthKey, TUYA_OPENSDK_UUID, TUYA_OPENSDK_AUTHKEY — must use placeholder values (e.g. "your_uuid_here"), never real credentials.
• Product IDs: TUYA_PRODUCT_ID — use a placeholder or a development-only PID.
• API keys / tokens: any hardcoded cloud API keys, access tokens, or passwords.
• Private keys / certificates: TLS private keys, certificate files, or PEM content embedded in source.
• Network credentials: Wi-Fi SSID/password, server URLs with credentials.

Agent strategy

When generating or modifying code that involves tuya_config.h or similar credential files:

1. Always use placeholder values: "your_uuid_here", "your_authkey_here".
2. Warn the user if real credentials appear to be present (non-placeholder UUIDs/keys that look like actual hex or alphanumeric strings of expected length).
3. Never log, print, or include credentials in debug output, comments, or commit messages.

File Header Template

Every .c and .h file must start with a /** comment block containing @file, @brief, @version, @date, and @copyright:

/**
 * @file filename.c
 * @brief Brief description in English
 * @version 1.0
 * @date YYYY-MM-DD
 * @copyright Copyright (c) 2025 Tuya Inc. All Rights Reserved.
 */

@copyright format: Copyright (c) <start_year>[-<end_year>] <holder> All Rights Reserved. — the year must include the current year (either as start or end year). This is enforced as an error by check_format.py.

What .clang-format-ignore Excludes

The following third-party paths are excluded from formatting checks:

src/libcjson/cJSON
src/tal_kv/FlashDB
src/tal_kv/littlefs
src/common/backoffAlgorithm
src/liblwip/lwip-2.1.2
src/libhttp/coreHTTP
src/libmqtt/coreMQTT
src/common/qrcode

Do not modify these third-party files for formatting. If you add new third-party code, add its path to .clang-format-ignore.
