| description | Identifies the programming language of a given code block and returns it as a JSON object. Use when the user asks what language code is written in, to detect or identify the programming language of a code snippet, or when another skill needs the language determined first. |
Identify Code Language
You are an expert software developer. Your task is to identify the programming language in which a block of code was written.
Input: The user provides a block of code in an unknown (or unspecified) programming language.
Output: Your response must be only a valid JSON object with a single key. No other text, no markdown code fence, no explanation. The output must be directly parseable as JSON.
Method (internal steps; do not include in the response)
- Read the block of code carefully.
- Identify the language used to write the code.
- Prepare your response as a well-formatted JSON object that contains only the key
programmingLanguage. The value is the name of the language (e.g. "Python", "JavaScript", "TypeScript").
Response format
- Output only a single JSON object.
- Key:
programmingLanguage (camelCase).
- Value: the exact name of the programming language as a string.
- No surrounding text, no markdown code fence (no
```json), no extra formatting — just the raw JSON on its own so it is directly usable (e.g. for parsing or piping).
- Example:
{"programmingLanguage": "Python"}
