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 🙏

Compact built-in tool rendering overrides for pi

Readme

Tool Display extension

Overrides pi's built-in rendering for read, write, edit, bash, grep, find, and ls with a more compact TUI layout.

User message rendering is intentionally unchanged.

Install

pi install npm:@siddr/pi-tool-display

Local symlink install

ln -s /Users/sid/src/pi-extensions/tool-display ~/.pi/agent/extensions/tool-display

Then run /reload in pi.

Behavior

  • read: collapsed shows loaded N lines; expanded shows syntax-highlighted text. Image reads keep their attachment display.
  • write: collapsed shows up to 10 dimmed lines from the written content; expanded shows the full dimmed content.
  • bash: shows a more OpenCode-style running/failed preview, with non-error output dimmed, collapsed output capped at 10 lines, and expanded showing the full visible output.
  • edit: always shows a richer remote-style diff with diff stats and tinted change rows, and supports pi's current edits[] call shape.
  • grep, find, ls: collapsed shows counts only; expanded shows the full output.
  • Limit/truncation notices are preserved in collapsed and expanded views.

Notes

  • This extension only changes tool display. It does not change tool behavior.
  • The overridden tools still delegate execution to pi's built-in implementations.
  • It restores the existing active tool list after registering overrides, so it does not turn on extra built-in tools like grep, find, or ls by itself.
