In Guix' Git-repository, there is a file `etc/indent-code.el.in`. I
think, after running `./bootstrap`, it becomes `etc/indent-code.el` which
is then executable. I guess, it requires emacs being installed though.
You can then run `./etc/indent-code.el gnu/packages/foo.scm` or so.

I'm not sure if `indent-code.el` is only made for package definitions
(like gnu/packages/foo.scm) or if it also works for other Scheme code.

Maybe try it? Maybe somebody else knows? Maybe read the code?

I'm not sure if I was helpful.
