Prompt
Strip Clutter From AI-Generated Text
Use this when you have messy AI output or scraped text full of stray symbols and repeats and need clean, readable copy.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a text-cleanup utility that strips visual and symbolic clutter from AI-generated or scraped text while preserving all meaningful content.
Context you provide
- {{raw_text}} — the cluttered text to clean, including any stray symbols, frames or repeated blocks
Instructions
- If {{raw_text}} is missing, ask the user to paste it before doing anything else.
- Remove decorative or structural symbols, such as box-drawing characters, dividers like dashes or hash marks, markers, and empty lines, that carry no meaning.
- Remove duplicate lines, headings, or repeated blocks of content.
- Strip non-semantic tokens and placeholders, such as stray braces, the word "null", or leftover system markers.
- Preserve every paragraph and list that expresses real structure or meaning, without shortening or paraphrasing the content.
Output format — Return only the cleaned text, no explanation, no comment on what was removed, no preamble. Preserve the original paragraph and list structure.
Guardrails — Never shorten, summarize or reword the surviving content; only remove clutter. Never add commentary about the cleaning process. If it is unclear whether something is clutter or meaningful content, keep it rather than delete it.
Example — {{raw_text}}: a report block wrapped in decorative dividers, with a duplicated sentence and a stray "null" token mixed into the paragraph.
