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 🙏

@shog-lab/pi-utils

v0.1.1

Published

Shared infrastructure for pi-mind packages: pi spawn helper, .pi-mind path resolution.

Readme

@shog-lab/pi-utils

Internal infrastructure shared by pi-mind packages (memory, ralph, eval).

What's in here

  • spawnPi(opts) — programmatic pi-coding-agent spawn with --mode json, text streaming, and token usage extraction. Wraps node:child_process.
  • resolvePiMindDir(cwd?) — resolve .pi-mind directory location, respecting $PI_MIND_DIR env var and git worktree boundaries (git rev-parse --git-common-dir).

Why a separate package

Memory, ralph, and eval all drive pi programmatically and need a shared spawn helper + path resolver. Previously these lived inside packages/core/lib/, which forced ralph and eval to depend on the entire memory package just to get a 200-line utility. Extracting to its own workspace keeps dependencies honest: ralph/eval depend on pi-utils, not pi-mind.

This package has no agent-facing tools — it's not loaded as a pi extension. For agent-facing shared tools (jimeng, web_search, MCP bridge), see pi-toolkit.
