Codex Reanimator - HTML to Markdown Recovery Workstation
TL;DR: Codex Reanimator turns messy HTML exports into Markdown that can be reviewed, traced, and reused.
Problem
HTML exports often contain useful material in a shape that is hard to review or reuse. Images, provenance, warnings, and conversion decisions can disappear during quick conversion.
Codex Reanimator treats conversion as a reviewable workflow rather than a one-shot script.
Current Capabilities
The README describes:
- folder, file, and registry-driven conversion
- HTML to Markdown with YAML frontmatter
- local image copying and base64 image recovery
- machine-readable manifests
- warning, error, and review index reports
- CLI entry point for repeatable conversion jobs
What This Demonstrates
- Artifact recovery as a reviewable workflow
- Provenance preservation during format conversion
- Windows-first packaging and CLI/app surfaces
- Converting archived HTML into provenance-preserved Markdown without losing material
