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 🙏

pix-sudo

Pi tool — sudo_run with interactive PAM password prompt.

What it does

Registers the sudo_run tool, which executes shell commands as root behind a permission dialog (the shared overlay component from @dihak/pix-pretty). Every command requires explicit per-call Allow/Deny approval in the UI, with a 60-second auto-deny timeout (dead-man's switch) — that approval step is never skipped. The dialog shape depends on PAM's sudo ticket cache: if a valid cached ticket exists (sudo -n true), the tool shows a confirm-only dialog (Allow/Deny, body notes "sudo session active") and runs with an empty password; if no valid ticket exists, it runs the two-stage flow — Allow/Deny first, then a masked password input (● per character). The password is passed to the lightweight sudo -S -v validation command via stdin, never written to disk; pix-sudo itself stores nothing. After validation refreshes sudo's PAM ticket, the requested command runs separately without keeping the overlay stuck on “Checking password…” for the command's duration. The ticket cache is the kernel/PAM tty timestamp (default ~15 min, OS-managed sudoers timeout), so it only skips re-typing the password, never the approval. Output is truncated to 50 KB / 2000 lines. In non-interactive (RPC/JSON) mode the tool is blocked immediately with an error.

Completed calls collapse after the configured Pix delay into a status row such as ✓ sudo apt install ripgrep · exit 0 · 18 lines; denied and timed-out calls use ⚡, and nonzero exits use ✗. Expanding the row restores the normal stdout/stderr or exact diagnostic without restarting the elapsed timer. Configure the delay with collapse.delaySec and the per-tool toggle with collapse.tools.sudo in ~/.pi/agent/pix.json. Approval and masked-password overlays are never collapsed, and passwords are never included in result metadata or render state.
