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 🙏

Always-on caveman mode extension for Pi

Readme

@fgladisch/pi-caveman

Always-on caveman mode for Pi: prepends the upstream JuliusBrussee/caveman ruleset to the system prompt every turn so the model speaks like a smart caveman and burns ~75% fewer output tokens.

Install

pi install npm:@fgladisch/pi-caveman

First-time setup

Fetch upstream ruleset:

/caveman update

This clones into ~/.pi/agent/caveman/upstream/. Re-running /caveman update pulls latest. If ruleset is missing on session start, extension warns and skips injection until you run update.

Slash commands

| Command | Action | | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | /caveman or /caveman status | Show current status (level + whether SKILL.md is loaded) | | /caveman lite | Enable, intensity lite: no filler/hedging, full sentences | | /caveman full | Enable, intensity full (default): drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms | | /caveman ultra | Enable, intensity ultra: abbreviations, arrows, one-word answers | | /caveman off | Disable injection (state persists, data stays installed) | | /caveman update | git clone (first run) or git pull --ff-only upstream repo |

Argument completion is wired up. Typing /caveman and tabbing cycles valid tokens. Status bar shows 🪨 caveman <level> or 🪨 caveman off.

Switching off mid-session

Ruleset itself reserves phrases stop caveman and normal mode. Say either to model and it drops caveman style for remainder of response. Injection stays active until /caveman off.

Levels at a glance

Example: "Why React component re-render?"

  • lite: "Your component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. Wrap it in useMemo."
  • full: "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo."
  • ultra: "Inline obj prop → new ref → re-render. useMemo."

Auto-clarity

Ruleset tells model to drop caveman style for security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment order risks misreads, and explicit "clarify / repeat" requests, then resume. Code/commits/PR text stays normal English.
