Tool guides
Practical operating patterns for transformations, image work, and privacy-aware browser workflows.
01.
Transform code safely
Format first when reviewing unfamiliar code; minify only the version intended for delivery.
- Preserve sourceKeep an original copy before transforming source.
- Review semanticsTreat formatter output as a readability change, not semantic validation.
- Verify artifactsUse hash verification to compare artifacts; a hash cannot decrypt source material.
02.
Prepare images deliberately
Choose dimensions, crop, and output format from the destination’s constraints rather than habit.
- Start with qualityResize once from the highest-quality source available.
- Check transparencyInspect transparency before converting SVG or PNG assets.
- Export explicitlyDownload the generated file before closing the tab; local workspaces do not keep a cloud copy.
03.
Protect sensitive material
The processing label is part of the tool contract and should be checked before entering data.
- Process locallyLocal-first runtimes process input in the active browser tab.
- Describe, don’t pasteFeedback forms accept descriptions only and explicitly exclude workspace contents.
- Clear shared devicesClear the workspace and downloaded files when using a shared computer.
Put the workflow into practice.
Start with a deterministic local formatter that validates before it produces output.
