Markdown Table Formatter

This skill helps users reformat messy markdown tables into aligned, readable tables.

Usage

1. When the user provides a markdown table, copy it verbatim into your reply inside a fenced code block.
2. Normalize each row: split on |, trim whitespace, drop empty leading/trailing cells.
3. Compute the max width per column across all rows (including the header separator row).
4. Pad every cell to its column width, and re-emit the table with a proper |---| separator row.
5. Keep the original order of rows and columns. Do not invent data.

Example

Input:

|a|b|
|-|-|
|1|2|

Output:

| a | b |
|---|--:|
| 1 | 2 |

Notes

• Only handle markdown tables. If the input is not a table, politely decline.
• Preserve numeric alignment using --: when a column is entirely numeric.
