How to Clean Claude Code's Output for Commits, PRs, and Docs
Claude Code — Anthropic's command-line coding agent — formats its responses in Markdown: bold file names, bulleted steps, and backtick-wrapped commands. That renders fine in a terminal or IDE, but paste it into a commit message, README, or plain-text file and the raw asterisks, backticks, and smart quotes come along too. This tool strips those artifacts in your browser, leaving clean plain text with your content untouched.
See the Difference Before & After Cleaning
Hidden artifacts and zero-width characters cause unexpected layout shifts, regex crashes, and AI detector flags. Here is how clean text compares.
**Summary:** - Updated `src/lib/cleanText.ts` to fix the *normalizeDashes* bug. - Ran tests — all “green”.

Technical Character & Feature Breakdown
Our browser engine detects and strips non-printable unicode points, LLM clichés, and metadata streams automatically.
| Character / Flag Name | Identifier / Sample | Impact & Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Markdown Bold/Italic Asterisks | U+002A (*) | Claude Code wraps file names, flags, and emphasis in **bold** or *italic* markdown that renders as raw asterisks outside a terminal or chat pane. |
| Inline & Block Code Backticks | U+0060 (`) | Single and triple backticks around commands, paths, and code snippets that need to be stripped for plain-text commit messages or PR descriptions. |
| Smart Quotes & Em Dashes | U+201C / U+201D / U+2014 | Curly quotes and em dashes that break shell scripts, JSON configs, or plain-text files when pasted verbatim. |
| Invisible Unicode Spacers | U+200B / U+00A0 | Zero-width spaces and non-breaking spaces that sometimes appear between rendered response paragraphs and can break regex or diff tooling. |

Your questions, answered
Got questions about zero-width characters, AI detection probability, or privacy? We have answers.
Does Claude Code have a built-in /clean command?
Not currently — Claude Code doesn't ship a native /clean slash command for stripping markdown from its own output. This tool is a free browser-based equivalent: paste any Claude Code response and get plain text back instantly.
Why does Claude Code's output have asterisks and backticks in it?
Claude Code formats responses in Markdown — bold file names, bulleted steps, and backtick-wrapped commands render cleanly in a terminal or IDE, but the raw symbols stay behind when you copy that text into a commit message, README, or plain-text file.
Is my code or terminal output uploaded anywhere?
No. All cleaning runs 100% locally in your browser's JavaScript runtime. Nothing is sent to a server, which matters if your Claude Code output includes proprietary code or file paths.
Will this remove code content, or just formatting?
Only formatting artifacts — markdown symbols, smart quotes, and invisible unicode. Your actual code, commands, and text content are preserved exactly as written.
Can I use this for commit messages and PR descriptions?
Yes — that's the main use case. Paste Claude Code's summary of a change, strip the markdown asterisks and backticks, and get a clean plain-text commit message or PR body.
