Pretty ironic that we can't reach a human given that "Anthropic" literally means "involving or concerning the existence of human life".

If you're unfamiliar with it, one of its key (and most controversial) features is “river alignment” of keywords. I couldn’t find an existing formatter that implemented it, so I made Holywell.

Try it in the browser: https://holywell.sh Repo: https://github.com/vinsidious/holywell

The site has a bunch of scrollable examples so you can quickly see what the formatted SQL looks like.

Dialect support is pretty basic right now (I’m mostly a Postgres user), but I’d love requests / failing examples for other dialects. Also, PRs are very welcome.

Disclaimer: not endorsed by Simon Holywell. I tried to be faithful to the guide (and where the guide is ambiguous, I had to interpret). Also: I’m not claiming this style is “best” — just that it’s the one I’ve wanted for a long time.

Please share your thoughts and let me know where it falls short!
