Python Text Processor & Content Editor -- 2

I need one reliable freelancer who can move easily between code and copy.

1. Python task
I have a folder full of plain-text files. Your script should read each file, filter out obvious noise (blank lines, stop-words, non-ASCII junk), group the remaining content by topic, then write a single CSV where each row contains: filename, detected topic, and the cleaned text. Prefer standard libraries plus pandas / scikit-learn (or another lightweight classifier) so I can run the code with nothing more than Python 3 installed. A brief README, clear inline comments, and a quick demo command are essential.

2. Editing task
I’ll hand over several published blog posts that need a polish. Keep the author’s voice, but fix grammar, tighten structure, and raise overall readability. I’d like the returned documents in Word or Google Docs with tracked changes visible so I can scan your edits quickly.

3. New content creation
You’ll also craft fresh articles on topics I supply. Aim for an engaging, audience-aware tone; roughly 800–1 000 words each. SEO is helpful but don’t sacrifice clarity for keyword stuffing.

Acceptance criteria
• Python script runs locally on macOS or Linux with one command.
• Output CSV matches the schema described above.
• Edited articles show clean, well-justified changes.
• New articles meet the word count and read smoothly.

Timeline is tight—I’m looking to wrap everything within 5 days. To keep things simple I plan on one milestone on delivery, with a total budget of about $300 for the entire scope. If something in the brief feels unclear, flag it early so we stay on schedule.
