How it works

This tool is inspired by Trimmy by Peter Steinberger and focuses on pasted shell snippets. It looks for command-like signals such as continuations, pipes, flags, prompts, and paths before collapsing line breaks.

Optionally removes terminal box-drawing gutters like │.
Optionally strips leading shell prompts such as $ and #.
Repairs single wrapped URLs and quotes single paths with spaces.
Scores the remaining text with low, normal, or high aggressiveness.
Flattens only short command-shaped snippets and leaves lists or source code alone when possible.

Good for: README commands, multi-line kubectl or docker snippets, wrapped URLs, and terminal copies that include prompts or gutters.

Safety valves: skips very long copies, tries not to collapse markdown-style lists, and avoids flattening source code unless you switch to high mode.
