The README lacks install and configuration instructions, so you'll need to figure out how to integrate it into your editor.
Smart-brackets is a tool that automatically tidies up your code the moment you finish typing a closing curly brace. If you've ever written code where the indentation got messy because you were moving fast or pasting things in, this steps in and fixes the formatting for you without any extra effort. Here's how it works in practice: as you type, your code might end up with lines that are pushed too far left or not far enough, especially inside loops and functions. The moment you type that final closing brace to complete a block of code, the tool instantly reformats everything inside that block so it's properly indented and clean. You go from a jumbled mess to neatly organized code in one keystroke, without needing to manually hit spacebar or tab a bunch of times. This would be useful for beginner programmers who are still getting comfortable with indentation rules, or really anyone who writes code and wants to skip the cleanup step. For example, if you're a student working through a Java assignment and you paste in a snippet that doesn't line up with the rest of your file, this handles the alignment for you as soon as you close out that section. It's a small quality-of-life convenience that saves you from stopping to fix spacing. The README doesn't go into much detail about which programming languages are supported beyond the Java example shown, or exactly how to install and configure the tool. It's built in TypeScript, which suggests it likely integrates into a code editor or development environment as an extension, but the specifics aren't spelled out. The project keeps things simple, it does one focused job and doesn't overpromise.
