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 🙏

@micro-harnesses/plugin-basic-tools

v4.0.0

Published

Workspace-scoped filesystem mutation and shell tools for @micro-harnesses/core.

Readme

@micro-harnesses/plugin-basic-tools

Workspace-scoped filesystem mutation and shell execution plugin for @micro-harnesses/core.

Latest updates

  • No tool surface changes in this release; this package remains the mutating-tool plugin used by the CLI in non-plan workflows.

Ships

| Tool | Description | Risk | |---|---|---| | fs_write | Write/overwrite text file | high | | fs_append | Append text to file | high | | fs_mkdir | Create directory | high | | fs_move | Move/rename path | high | | fs_remove | Remove file/directory | high | | shell_exec | Execute shell command in workspace with timeout and bounded output | high |

Install

npm install @micro-harnesses/core @micro-harnesses/plugin-basic-tools

Usage

import { BasicToolsPlugin } from "@micro-harnesses/plugin-basic-tools";

await pluginHost.register([
  new BasicToolsPlugin({
    rootDir: process.cwd(),
    defaultShellTimeoutMs: 20_000,
    maxShellTimeoutMs: 120_000,
  }),
]);

Options

| Option | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | rootDir | process.cwd() | Restricts all file/shell tool paths | | maxReadChars | 100000 | File read cap used by helper internals | | maxListEntries | 1000 | Directory listing cap | | maxTraversalDepth | 8 | Max traversal depth | | maxSearchFiles | 300 | Search file cap | | maxSearchMatches | 300 | Search match cap | | defaultShellTimeoutMs | 20000 | Default command timeout | | maxShellTimeoutMs | 120000 | Max allowed timeout override | | maxShellOutputChars | 80000 | Combined stdout/stderr cap |

Safety notes

  • All paths are resolved relative to rootDir.
  • shell_exec supports abort signals and timeout-based termination.
  • Tools are intentionally high risk so policy engines can enforce approvals/denials.
