When you let go of the shortcut, Wrenscribe looks at the focused window and picks a style. The style is a short instruction to the cleanup model about the kind of text it is writing.
Built-in styles
| Style | Used for | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code, Codex | Those agents in a terminal | Plain text, lists with 1. or -, technical terms and paths kept exact, no greeting or sign-off. |
| Terminal | Other terminal windows | A literal shell command if it is one, in lowercase with no final period. Otherwise a prompt, as above. |
| Chat prompt | Claude, ChatGPT and Codex in a browser | The coding agent style with markdown lists allowed. |
| Chat | Discord, Telegram, Signal, Element, and messaging sites | Casual and lowercase, no final period. Acronyms, mixed case and file names keep their case. |
| Any app you assign it to | Complete sentences in a friendly, professional tone. | |
| Default | Everything else | Normal sentences with standard punctuation and capitalization. |
How Claude Code is recognised
Terminals do not say which program is running in a tab, so Wrenscribe reads the window title. Claude Code puts a distinctive symbol at the start of the title, which is enough to tell a Claude Code prompt from a shell command.
Profiles
A profile overrides the style for one app. Open the Profiles page, pick the app and choose any style, built-in or your own. Custom styles are a name and a sentence or two of instruction, written the same way as the built-in ones.
