Code cleanup is riskier than normal text cleanup because indentation, punctuation, and whitespace can matter. The goal is to remove chat formatting without damaging the code itself.
Remove markdown fences, language labels, copied explanations, and patch wrappers before saving code. For Codex-style output, use Clean Codex Patch Output. For Claude code snippets, use Clean Claude Output.
Do not blindly remove all indentation from code. Python, YAML, Markdown, and nested config files need indentation. Remove accidental leading whitespace only when it is clearly not part of the code structure.
Paste cleaned code into an editor, format it with the language formatter, and run tests or syntax checks before using it. Cleanup removes copy artifacts; it does not verify code correctness.
Remove markdown fences, copied labels, extra indentation, and chat artifacts, then review the code in an editor before running it.
No. Keep indentation that is required by the language. Remove only accidental leading spaces, chat formatting, and copied wrapper text.
Yes. Clean copied code output by removing markdown wrappers, patch labels, extra spacing, and formatting artifacts before saving it.
