Detect stalled deals from a CRM export
Read a CRM export and list deals with no activity for a set number of days, sorted by value, with a suggested action column.
- Stalled deals hide in a long pipeline list; a script over the weekly export surfaces them in seconds with the last note attached so the next action is obvious.

Ticket category confidence gate
A small function that turns a model's classification into a routing decision with an explicit threshold and escalation list.
- Routing on a model's category without a confidence threshold sends uncertain tickets to the wrong queue; the rule belongs in code where it can be tested.

Generate documents from a CSV and a template
Fill a text template for every row of a CSV and write one file per row.
- Letters or statements that differ only in a few fields should be generated, not edited; a template with placeholders and a CSV is enough.

Code step: normalise a record before an upsert
A small code step that cleans names, emails and dates so downstream modules can rely on the shape.
- Records arriving from forms and imports carry stray spaces, mixed case and inconsistent dates; normalise once in a code step.

Idempotent webhook receiver
Accept a webhook safely: verify, deduplicate by delivery id, then process.
- Providers retry deliveries; without deduplication a retry becomes a second order, a second email or a second refund.

Sitemap and canonical audit script
Crawl your sitemap and report pages whose canonical points elsewhere or that return errors.
- A sitemap listing pages that canonicalise elsewhere or 404 wastes crawl budget and hides real problems; a small script finds them in minutes.

Redact personal data before sending a ticket to a model
Strip emails, phone numbers and order numbers from ticket text before it leaves your systems.
- Support text carries personal data; a model call should see the problem, not the identity. Redact deterministically and keep a map to restore in the reply.

Reorder point calculator
Compute reorder points and quantities for a SKU list from demand and lead time.
- Reorder points guessed by feel cause stockouts and dead stock; a formula from daily demand, lead time and safety stock is simple and defensible.

Score a lead against written criteria
Turn qualification criteria into a deterministic scoring function you can test.
- Lead scoring in a spreadsheet drifts; a small typed function with tests makes the rules explicit and changeable.

UTM-tagged links for a campaign in bulk
Generate a sheet of tagged links for every channel and asset in a campaign, consistently.

Fetch a page and extract readable text
Get the main text of an article for summarisation without the navigation and ads.

Snapshot test harness for a pure function
Record current outputs for a set of inputs so a refactor can prove it changed nothing.
- You need to refactor a function with no tests; a snapshot of its behaviour on real inputs is the fastest honest safety net.

Tool call with schema validation and retry
Wrap a model tool call so bad arguments are caught and retried once with the error shown to the model.
- Models sometimes emit arguments that do not match a tool's schema; executing them blindly causes errors deep in your code, while failing hard wastes the run.

Extract invoice fields to JSON with validation
Call a model to pull invoice fields from text and validate the result before it touches your books.
- Model output is only useful in bookkeeping if it is strictly shaped and checked; a hallucinated total is worse than a null.

Batch summarise text files with an API
Summarise every text file in a folder with one API call each and write the summaries next to the originals.
- You have a folder of notes or transcripts and want a one-paragraph summary for each, written as a sibling .summary.md file, without doing it by hand.
