The given command is using a tool called Black with a specific flag to process either a file or a directory.
black: It is the name of the command or tool that is being executed.--skip-string-normalization: This is a flag or option provided to the Black tool.

By skipping this normalization, Black will keep the original quote style used in the code.${filename_or_directory}: This is a placeholder indicating that you need to provide the name of a specific file or directory to process. It should be replaced with the actual path and name of the file or directory you want Black to apply its formatting rules to.
