CodePaste Wizard is an open-source utility designed to streamline the process of combining and de-duplicating code snippets, especially those generated by AI language models like Claude and ChatGPT. It intelligently merges multiple code snippets, removing overlaps to create a cohesive, single piece of code.

*Detected filename will be automatically retrieved from the top of your code if available. You can prompt Claude "List filename at top of code window"
