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

@components-kit/open-workbook

User-facing package for installing, configuring, and running Open Workbook locally.

Quickstart

npx -y @components-kit/open-workbook setup

Setup prepares the Excel add-in manifest and prints the MCP launch command. For an existing install, run npx -y @components-kit/open-workbook@latest upgrade to refresh local setup assets after a package update.

Install the Open Workbook Excel skill with skills.sh:

npx skills add components-kit/open-workbook --skill open-workbook-excel

Use the printed MCP launch command in your agent UI's local stdio MCP configuration:

npx -y @components-kit/open-workbook@latest mcp

owb setup also writes fallback instructions for clients that do not support skills.sh.

Commands

owb setup
owb upgrade
owb mcp
owb instructions
owb doctor
owb paths
owb sideload mac
owb sideload windows
owb sideload manifest
owb addin serve
owb daemon start
owb file-bridge start
owb service manifest --target macos --service addin

Runtime

  • owb setup initializes the generic install flow.
  • owb upgrade refreshes the same local manifest and fallback instruction assets for an existing install.
  • owb mcp starts the MCP adapter, starts the local Excel add-in asset server when needed, and uses an embedded backend unless a shared daemon is available.
  • owb instructions prints fallback generic Excel instructions.
  • owb doctor checks packaged runtime assets.
  • owb sideload * generates or installs Excel add-in manifests.
  • owb daemon start is an advanced shared coordinator for multiple clients.
  • owb file-bridge start is an optional native bridge for Save As and host file operations.
