AI suggests perfect filter → just press Enter.
Strict 5-step flow. No solution vomiting.
Fully open for contributions (CONTRIBUTING.md + good first issues ready).
Made because normal AI was making us lazy.
Please star + try it if this resonates.

Can you show an example of this?
Liiks really cool.

Absolutely! Here are 3 real scenarios for better use cases:
Problem → “Too many old shirts, don’t know which are dead stock”
Result → clean list with item name, value, and last sale date
Problem → “Scrape prices from Flipkart but keep getting blocked”
Result → rotating proxy + delay skeleton (only after you say you’re ready)
Problem → “Client Excel has 20 columns, dates are text and mixed Hindi-English”
Result → pandas code that cleans exactly what you need
To try it right now (30 seconds total):
You just need one free Groq API key (15 seconds, no credit card):
→ go to https://console.groq.com/keys
→ click “Create API Key” → copy it
Then paste this in terminal and press Enter:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/clearcut.git && cd clearcut && python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt && python clearcut.py
First run will ask for the key you just copied → saved forever after that.
Would love to know which scenario (or your own) you try first!
And if anything feels confusing or can be simpler, just open an issue — I merge fast.
Thanks again — you made my day! 🚀
