Short answer

How do I format code variables with my AI?

Your AI uses the change_casing tool to convert raw text into specific formats like snake_case or camelCase. You get clean, ready-to-use identifiers for your code. Here is how it works.

Where every change lands.

The results of your conversion

The AI processes your strings and gives you back the exact casing you need.

CLEAN CODE

Standardized identifiers

The AI applies the requested casing to your input. You get strings that match your project's style guide perfectly.

READY TO USE

Directly pasteable text

The output is stripped of spaces and special characters. You can move the result straight into your IDE.

BULK WORK

Multiple name conversion

Send a list of messy names at once. The AI handles the entire set in one go.

HUMAN REVIEW

Final naming decisions

The AI handles the mechanical casing logic. You decide if the resulting names actually fit your business logic.

The workflow

What your AI does when the text arrives.

The AI handles the mechanical transformation of your strings.

  1. Receive input

    Your AI client reads the messy text or list of variable names you provide.

  2. Transform casing

    The AI uses the specific tool to rewrite the text into your target format.

  3. Clean output

    The tool removes unwanted characters to ensure the string is valid for code.
