I found inefficiencies in my own workflow. So I built tools to eliminate them.

Content updates used to begin with a writer opening a live support article, selecting text section by section, and pasting it into a working document, losing structure along the way and introducing copy errors under deadline pressure.

The extractor reads the article's live HTML directly, walks the DOM to preserve heading hierarchy, lists, and links, and writes a clean structured copy into a Google Doc ready for editing. What was a 20-minute error-prone chore per article became a few seconds of automation, and the working copy is now guaranteed to match the live source.

Editorial review does not scale: one editor's judgment, applied one document at a time. This tool encodes that judgment into a Google Docs sidebar that reviews as you write.

It scans the document against editorial style guidelines in real time, flagging vague directional words, context-dependent phrasing, and style-guide violations, and suggests concrete alternatives inline. The writer sees the correction while the sentence is still warm, which teaches the guideline instead of just enforcing it. The editor's standards are now present in every document, whether the editor is or not.

Country selector work meant gathering content from hundreds of market-specific article variants before any writing could begin: a full manual phase of opening, reading, and copying, multiplied by every market in scope.

The crawler walks the country selector systematically, requests each market's article, extracts the structured content, and assembles everything into a single edit-ready Google Doc organized by market. The gathering phase disappeared from the schedule entirely, and the coverage is exhaustive by construction: the script cannot skip a market the way a tired human can.

Work arrived in Buganizer, allocation lived in Google Sheets, and a person kept them in sync by hand every day. Culvert is a bi-directional sync engine between the two, written in JavaScript and Google Apps Script against the Buganizer API, which removed the transcription step rather than speeding it up.

150+ legacy manuals moved from an XML workflow into Markdown in a Git repository, with Markdownlint and CSpell running as automated gates before merge. Markdownlint and CSpell do not get bored on page 4,000, which is the entire argument for the gate.
