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 🙏

agent_orb npx bootstrapper

Local development bootstrapper for Agent Orb. It is intended to become:

npx @solar_orb/agent_orb

after the package is published to npm.

Local development

From the repo root:

./scripts/release/smoke-npx-local.sh

For manual testing:

npm --prefix packages/agent_orb run package-runtime
npx --yes ./packages/agent_orb setup --yes

If packages/agent_orb/releases contains a matching native bundle, setup installs that bundle directly with SHA256 verification. Otherwise it falls back to source build. On Windows, setup also adds the runtime bin directory to the user PATH so a new terminal can run agent_orb-codex, agent_orb-claude, agent_orb, codex-orb, and claude-orb directly. The adapter launchers call agent_orb launch, which starts the orb UI and daemon only for that CLI session. When the adapter CLI exits, the session-local agent_orbd and agent-orb-ui processes are stopped so the desktop orb does not linger.

Upgrade or repair an existing install:

npx @solar_orb/agent_orb upgrade --yes

The upgrade flow verifies the new bundle before stopping the old daemon/orb UI and removing old runtime files.

If Windows cannot auto-detect Codex CLI, set an explicit path before setup:

$env:AGENT_ORB_CODEX_PATH = "C:\nvm4w\nodejs\codex.cmd"
npx --yes @solar_orb/[email protected] upgrade --yes

Windows local path

cd C:\path\to\AgentOrb
npx --yes .\packages\agent_orb

If no Windows bundle is present and Rust is not installed on Windows yet, setup will print:

winget install --id Rustlang.Rustup -e

For the intended no-Rust Windows path, publish or place agent-orb-windows-x64.zip plus checksums.txt in the release endpoint/package releases directory.

Windows + WSL repo caveat

Windows npm may fail with ERR_INVALID_URL when installing a local package directly from a UNC path like:

\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\...\AgentOrb

For Windows-host testing, prefer either:

  1. run from a Windows-local clone, or
  2. use a packed tarball from a Windows-local directory:
cd $env:TEMP\agent-orb-npx
npx --yes .\solar_orb-agent_orb-0.1.18.tgz --help
