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 🙏

Research CLI

Research CLI CI

Research CLI Screenshot

This repository contains the Research CLI, a command-line AI workflow tool that connects to your tools, understands your code, and accelerates your workflows. Now with comprehensive academic research capabilities!

🎓 Academic Research Features

The Research CLI has been enhanced with powerful academic research tools:

📝 Paper Writing & Management

  • Paper Outline Generator: Create structured outlines for research papers, reviews, and case studies
  • Academic Writing Assistant: Grammar checking, style improvements, and citation verification
  • LaTeX Manager: Full LaTeX project management with compilation and template support
  • Bibliography Manager: Search arXiv, PubMed, IEEE, and other databases with BibTeX export

🔬 Research & Analysis

  • Experiment Code Generator: Generate research code for Python, R, MATLAB, and Julia
  • Data Analyzer: Statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization
  • Citation Network Analysis: Explore research connections and paper relationships

🚀 Submission & Publishing

  • Journal Matcher: Find suitable journals based on your research content
  • Submission Preparator: Package papers for journal submission with templates
  • Template Extractor: Extract LaTeX templates from arXiv papers

💡 Research Workflow Commands

  • /research search "machine learning" - Search academic literature
  • /research analyze paper.pdf - Analyze document structure and style
  • /research experiment python ml - Generate experiment code
  • /paper outline "AI Safety" - Create paper structure
  • /submit prepare --journal "Nature" - Prepare submission package

🚀 General Capabilities

With the Research CLI you can also:

  • Query and edit large codebases in and beyond Research's 1M token context window.
  • Generate new apps from PDFs or sketches, using Research's multimodal capabilities.
  • Automate operational tasks, like querying pull requests or handling complex rebases.
  • Use tools and MCP servers to connect new capabilities, including media generation with Imagen, Veo or Lyria
  • Ground your queries with the iEchor Search tool, built in to Research.

Quickstart

  1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have Node.js version 20 or higher installed.

  2. Run the CLI: Execute the following command in your terminal:

    npx https://github.com/iechor-research/research-cli

    Or install it with:

    npm install -g @iechor/research-cli
research

  3. Pick a color theme

  4. Authenticate: When prompted, sign in with your personal iEchor account. This will grant you up to 60 model requests per minute and 1,000 model requests per day using Research.

You are now ready to use the Research CLI for both development and academic research!

🎓 Research Workflow Example

# Start the CLI
research

# Search for papers on your topic
/research search "neural networks" --source=arxiv --limit=10

# Generate a paper outline
/paper outline "Deep Learning for Computer Vision" --type=research

# Create experiment code
/research experiment python deep-learning --output=./experiments

# Analyze your draft
/research analyze draft.tex --type=all

# Find suitable journals
/submit journal --topic "computer vision" --impact-factor=high

# Prepare submission
/submit prepare --project ./my-paper --journal "Nature Machine Intelligence"

Use a Research API key:

The Research API provides a free tier with 100 requests per day using Research 2.5 Pro, control over which model you use, and access to higher rate limits (with a paid plan):

  1. Generate a key from iEchor AI Studio.

  2. Set it as an environment variable in your terminal. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your generated key.

    export GEMINI_API_KEY ="YOUR_API_KEY"

  3. (Optionally) Upgrade your Research API project to a paid plan on the API key page (will automatically unlock Tier 1 rate limits)

Use a Vertex AI API key:

The Vertex AI API provides a free tier using express mode for Research 2.5 Pro, control over which model you use, and access to higher rate limits with a billing account:

  1. Generate a key from iEchor Cloud.

  2. Set it as an environment variable in your terminal. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your generated key and set GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI to true

    export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true

  3. (Optionally) Add a billing account on your project to get access to higher usage limits

For other authentication methods, including iEchor Workspace accounts, see the authentication guide.

Examples

Once the CLI is running, you can start interacting with Research from your shell.

You can start a project from a new directory:

cd new-project/
research
> Write me a Research Discord bot that answers questions using a FAQ.md file I will provide

Or work with an existing project:

git clone https://github.com/iechor-research/research-cli
cd research-cli
research
> Give me a summary of all of the changes that went in yesterday
