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 🙏

v0.2.0

Published

BTW (by-the-way) extension for pi — ask side questions with session context; answered out-of-band so nothing pollutes the conversation

Readme

btw

旁路提问扩展 — /btw 命令,利用当前会话上下文回答临时问题,问答完全不进入会话。

功能

  • /btw 命令:临时提问,问答不写入 session,无需任何事后过滤
  • 旁路调用:通过 completeSimple 直接调模型,不经过 agent loop,不会触发工具
  • 上下文快照:自动携带当前会话摘要(user/assistant + tool call 概要,头部截断 40K 字符)
  • 独立模型~/.pi/piex-dev/btw/btw.json 可配置专用模型与 thinking level(凭据解析失败自动回退当前模型并告警)
  • 阅读器 UI:可中断的加载动画 + Markdown 滚动 pager(j/k、PgUp/PgDn、Home/End、进度百分比)

使用说明

pi install npm:@piex-dev/btw
# 带参数
/btw git status 能显示 untracked 文件吗

# 交互式输入
/btw
> BTW question: ...

加载动画按 Esc 可中断;答案 pager 按 q / Esc / Enter 关闭。

设置(可选)~/.pi/piex-dev/btw/btw.json

{
  "model": "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5",
  "thinkingLevel": "low"
}
  • modelprovider/model-id 格式。给 btw 配一个便宜快速的模型,主对话继续用强模型
  • thinkingLeveloff | minimal | low | medium | high | xhigh | max,缺省跟随当前会话
