I'm in the process of customizing my terminal.
Currently, I have the following:
What I want is a newline after the output of every command, like this:
The only way I have been able to accomplish something close to this is by adding a newline at the beginning of my PS1. This works, but it annoys the hell out of me that the first time I open up a bash prompt, there is a newline above the very first line. Is there any other way to accomplish this?

As you are running from inside a shell script, just add echo after each awk command i.e. in between the commands you want to get separate outputs. echo adds a newline. For example: Append printf " " at the end of each awk action {}. printf " " will print a newline. Show activity on this post.
In many cases, we need to add a new line in a sentence to format our output. In this tutorial, we’ll explore some Linux commands for printing a new line character ( ) in a sentence. 2. Using echo The echo command is one of the most commonly used Linux commands for printing to standard output:

Using echo The echo command is one of the most commonly used Linux commands for printing to standard output: By default, echo considers as a regular part of the input string. So, to enable the echo command to interpret the new line character, we should use the -e option:
One approach using printf:
$ printf '%s\n' * $'\n'
or better (for every command):
$ PROMPT_COMMAND="echo"
$ ls
From man bash :
If
PROMPT_COMMANDis set and has a non-null value, then the value is executed just as if it had been typed on the command line.
