Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Industrial-strength CLI that expands a requirements.md file into full .cursor spec docs with Azure OpenAI (o3-mini).

Overview

specmill takes a requirements file (typically Markdown) and uses Azure OpenAI's language models to automatically generate a comprehensive set of specification documents commonly used in software development workflows, particularly those involving AI pair programmers like Cursor.

It generates files such as:

  • .cursor/PRD.md
  • .cursor/USER_STORIES.md
  • .cursor/TECH_STORIES.md
  • .cursor/ARCHITECTURE.md (with Mermaid diagrams)
  • .cursor/TECH_STACK.md
  • .cursor/INFRASTRUCTURE.md (with Mermaid diagrams)
  • .cursor/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
  • .cursor/FILE_STRUCTURE.md
  • .cursor/RULES.md

Installation

npm install -g @brnbco/specmill
# or
yarn global add @brnbco/specmill

Alternatively, you can use it directly without global installation:

npx @brnbco/specmill [options] [requirements_file]

Usage

specmill [options] [requirements_file]

Arguments:

  • requirements_file: Path to the input requirements file (defaults to requirements.md).

Options:

  • -o, --outdir <dir>: Output directory for generated spec files (defaults to .cursor).
  • -m, --model <deployment>: Azure OpenAI deployment name (defaults to o3-mini or AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT env var).
  • -v, --api-version <ver>: Azure OpenAI API version (defaults to 2024-02-15-preview).
  • -h, --help: Display help for command.

Environment Variables:

  • AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT: Your Azure OpenAI endpoint URL (required).
  • AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY: Your Azure OpenAI API key (required).
  • AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT: Default model deployment name (optional, overrides -m default).

You can place these variables in a .env file in the directory where you run specmill.

Example:

# Generate specs from my_app_requirements.md into the ./specs directory
specmill -o ./specs my_app_requirements.md
