1···## Implementation Plan
3···### Step 1: Set up the API layer
5···Create a REST endpoint that handles user authentication and
6···returns a signed JWT token. The token should include the user's
7···role and permissions scoped to their organization.
9···### Step 2: Add middleware
11···- Validate the JWT on every request before hitting the
12···route handler. Reject expired tokens with a 401.
13···- Rate limit to 100 requests per minute per API key.
14···- Log all auth failures to the security audit table.

What gets cleaned

Three things hiding in terminal text

const x = 42
function greet()
return result
let name = ''

Trailing Whitespace

Every line padded with invisible spaces

The quick brown fox jumps↵
over the lazy dog and↵
keeps on running past↵
the finish line.

Broken Line Wraps

Sentences chopped at your terminal width

····This is the first line
····with some extra indent
····that shouldn't be here
····at all really

Random Indentation

Everything shifted right for no reason

Use cases

Copy from terminal. Paste anywhere.

Every time you copy text from a TUI or terminal app, invisible formatting comes with it. PasteClear strips it before you paste.

Terminal → Social Media

Copy a code snippet or AI response from your terminal, paste it into Twitter or LinkedIn — and it actually looks right.

Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT CLI

Terminal → Docs & Notes

Grab command output or logs and drop them into Notion, Google Docs, or your markdown notes without reformatting by hand.

Any shell, SSH sessions

Agent → Agent

Move context between AI agents without the extra tokens and confusion from broken formatting. Clean input means better output.
