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 🙏

v0.1.9

Published

Agents should invoke this skill for high-stakes or complex research needing multi-source evidence, scientific/technical fact-checking, decision traces, or rigorous verification. Runs deterministic two-phase research with schema/policy validation.

Readme

Deep Research

Answer difficult or important questions with careful source checking and visible uncertainty.

Helpful when

  • A wrong answer could be costly.
  • Sources disagree or the topic is complicated.
  • You need more than a quick web summary.

What to share with Pi

  • The exact question or decision
  • What evidence would be most useful
  • Time period, location, or other boundaries

Try asking

Research this question using several reliable sources. Verify the most important claims and clearly show what remains uncertain.

What you’ll get

  • A focused answer with source links
  • Evidence for the key claims
  • Disagreements, gaps, evidence-based verdicts, and agreement ratios

Keep in mind

Research quality depends on the available evidence. Missing, private, or outdated sources will lower confidence and be stated openly. The runner requires an initialized state JSON passed with --state; this package currently does not ship one. Classification and ordering are stable for identical evidence, but run IDs and timestamps vary.

Install

pi install npm:@firstpick/pi-skill-deep-research

Restart Pi if the skill does not appear in your current session.
