Content Splitter Actor

What it does

Takes long-form markdown source (a book, a curriculum, a series of scripts) and emits per-lesson body files plus a queue manifest. Strips internal scaffolding, fixes Skool-incompatible formatting, and produces production-ready prose.

Commands and features

• split-pillar-scripts.mjs. Reads all source files, extracts lessons, writes per-lesson .txt files.
• shortTitle(). Smart title truncator (Skool 50-char limit). Cuts at colon/dash, falls back to word-boundary truncation.
• unwrapParagraphs(). Joins soft-wrapped lines into paragraphs. Detects and preserves list blocks.
• stripMarkdown(). Removes metadata blocks (Course/Position/Target), section labels (Script), workbook PDF refs.

What you get

• Splits long-form markdown into per-lesson body files
• Strips internal scaffolding (SCRIPT, Target duration, metadata blocks)
• Converts markdown ordered lists 1. to 1) to bypass Skool's auto-list auto-format double-numbering bug
• Bullet conversion: dashes to clean Unicode bullets (•)
• Soft-wrap unwrap: prose flows as paragraphs, not chopped lines
• Title shortener with smart truncation (under 50 char Skool limit)
• Domain reference sweeper (sed-style token replacement across all sources)
• Outputs JSON manifest with cover + lesson list per course
