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 🙏

@specferret/core

v0.4.2

Published

SpecFerret core engine — spec drift detection.

Readme

@specferret/core

Core engine for SpecFerret contract extraction, validation, graph reconciliation, and drift analysis.

npm version license

What this package is for

@specferret/core is the runtime library behind the CLI. Use it when you want to embed SpecFerret behavior in scripts, custom tooling, or internal workflows.

It includes:

  • Store implementations (sqlite, postgres)
  • Frontmatter extraction and schema validation
  • Reconciler logic for direct/transitive impact
  • Context graph generation utilities

Install

npm i @specferret/core

Runtime requirements

  • Bun 1.0+

SpecFerret core is Bun-first and uses Bun-compatible runtime behavior.

Typical consumers

  • Internal platform tooling that needs drift checks in-process
  • CI wrappers that need machine-readable drift metadata
  • Custom developer workflows on top of SpecFerret reconciliation data

Validation status

Core behavior is validated through the Sprint 5 external branch-matrix harness (spec-kit + BMAD), including explicit assertions for:

  • S40 transitive depth thresholds
  • S41 review proof artifacts
  • S42 extract determinism

Latest green runs:

  • spec-kit: https://github.com/BenGardiner123/spec-ferret-validation-spec-kit/actions/runs/23962649755
  • BMAD: https://github.com/BenGardiner123/specferret-validation-bmad/actions/runs/23962652352

bun install -g @specferret/cli
