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 🙏

Readme

@synap-core/cli

Connect OpenClaw to your Synap pod — sovereign knowledge infrastructure for AI agents.

npx @synap-core/cli init

After synap init + synap finish, you get:

  • A running Synap pod with the synap skill installed in OpenClaw
  • OpenClaw connected to Synap's structured memory, entities, documents, and governance layer
  • An AI provider key configured inside OpenClaw
  • A public HTTPS dashboard URL (managed pods) — no SSH tunnel needed
  • MCP client configs (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf) ready to paste

Install

# Run once (no install needed)
npx @synap-core/cli init

# Or install globally
npm install -g @synap-core/cli
synap init

Requirements: Node.js 20+

Detailed environment setup: docs/INSTALL.md


The two-command flow

synap init + synap finish is the full path. init handles detection and provisioning; finish wires everything up.

synap init

Detects your environment and picks one of three paths:

| Path | When | |---|---| | A — Existing OpenClaw | OpenClaw is already running locally | | B — Fresh server | No OpenClaw — starts pod + OpenClaw via Docker | | C — Desktop / managed pod | Connects to a Synap-hosted pod |

On a fresh server, OpenClaw's first boot takes a few minutes (image pull + init). Run synap finish once it's up.

synap finish

One-shot completion. Runs:

  1. Skill installopenclaw skills install synap (from ClawHub)
  2. Workspace seed — creates Agent OS entities
  3. AI provider setup — prompts you for a key if OpenClaw doesn't have one, writes it via openclaw config set env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY …
  4. Public dashboard (managed pods) — offers to expose openclaw.yourpod.synap.live via the CP, with Synap-session-based auth (no extra password)
  5. Intelligence Service — optional, routes AI through your pod

After this, everything is ready. No follow-up commands.

Flags:

synap finish --skip-ai-key    # Don't prompt for AI key
synap finish --skip-domain    # Don't offer public domain
synap finish --skip-is        # Don't configure IS

synap openclaw — everything OpenClaw

Wraps the things you actually need after install.

synap openclaw

Overview: gateway status, AI provider, skill, dashboard URL, next steps.

synap openclaw connections

Single-screen summary of what's wired up: AI providers (Anthropic/OpenAI/Google/Synap IS), installed skills, connected channels (Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp/Slack/Signal/iMessage/Matrix), MCP client commands, and the dashboard URL.

synap openclaw connections

Everything marked is something you'd manage from the OpenClaw dashboard — the command shows you exactly how to get there.

synap openclaw open [section]

Deep-link to a specific dashboard section.

synap openclaw open                # Main dashboard
synap openclaw open channels       # Channels tab
synap openclaw open skills         # Skills tab
synap openclaw open config         # Config editor
synap openclaw open chat           # Chat
synap openclaw open sessions       # Sessions
synap openclaw open logs           # Logs

Uses the public URL if setup-domain has been run, otherwise localhost.

synap openclaw dashboard

Opens the OpenClaw web UI. If a public domain is configured, opens it directly. Otherwise opens http://localhost:18789 or — on a remote Linux server — prints an SSH tunnel command.

synap openclaw connect

Generates MCP client configs for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf — with the gateway token pre-filled so remote setups work without manual editing.

synap openclaw connect                  # All three clients
synap openclaw connect --client claude  # Just Claude Desktop

synap openclaw configure

Sets OpenClaw's AI provider via its own config system (openclaw config set env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY …). No .env hacking — the real OpenClaw config layer.

# Interactive (in CLI)
synap openclaw configure

# Interactive (hand off to OpenClaw's own wizard)
synap openclaw configure --interactive

# Scripted
synap openclaw configure --provider anthropic --key sk-ant-... --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6

# Read current config
synap openclaw configure --show

synap openclaw token

Reads the OpenClaw gateway token from the container. You need this to connect MCP clients to a remote gateway.

synap openclaw token                  # Print it
synap openclaw token --copy           # Copy to clipboard
synap openclaw token --for claude     # Print a ready-to-paste Claude Desktop config

synap openclaw setup-domain

Expose the OpenClaw dashboard at a public HTTPS URL.

  • Managed pods (*.synap.live): calls the CP to create a DNS A record automatically (openclaw.yourpod.synap.live), wires Caddy's forward_auth to validate your existing Synap session cookie. Zero manual auth.
  • Self-hosted: prompts for a subdomain, tells you which DNS A record to add, generates a random 32-char password, and writes a Caddy basic-auth gate. Hashes via caddy hash-password — no bcrypt dependency.

Both modes forge X-Real-IP: 127.0.0.1 at the Caddy layer so OpenClaw treats requests as loopback and skips device pairing. Auth is enforced at the Caddy layer.

synap openclaw doctor

Thin wrapper around OpenClaw's own diagnostic. Use --fix to auto-repair known issues.

synap openclaw doctor
synap openclaw doctor --fix

synap openclaw logs

synap openclaw logs              # Last 50 lines
synap openclaw logs -n 200       # More
synap openclaw logs -f           # Follow

synap openclaw restart

Restart the container. Handy after config changes.


Top-level commands

synap status

Health check across the stack: pod, OpenClaw, auth, skill, Intelligence Service.

synap login

synap login                      # Opens browser
synap login --token <token>      # Headless / server

Token: synap.live/account/tokens. Your session auto-refreshes for 7 days.

synap logout

synap connect

Re-connect to an existing pod without running the full init wizard.

synap update

Update the synap skill in OpenClaw to the latest version.

synap security-audit

Check OpenClaw + Synap config for known security issues. --fix auto-repairs fixable ones.


Why split synap openclaw configure from openclaw configure?

We delegate to OpenClaw's own config system for the actual write (openclaw config set env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY …) but wrap it for:

  1. Docker exec — handles the docker exec openclaw … for you
  2. Restart — auto-restarts the container (Docker mode has no hot-reload)
  3. Scripted mode--provider / --key flags for automation
  4. Integration with synap finish — part of the one-shot flow

For anything we don't wrap, use OpenClaw directly:

docker exec -it openclaw openclaw configure   # Interactive wizard
docker exec openclaw openclaw config get <key>
docker exec openclaw openclaw skills list
docker exec openclaw openclaw channels add --channel telegram --token ...

synap owns: Synap pod connection, skill install, Caddy proxy auth, CP DNS provisioning. openclaw owns: models, skills, channels, daemon, gateway config.


Configuration files

Stored in ~/.synap/ (user-only, chmod 600):

| File | Contents | |---|---| | credentials.json | CP auth token | | pod-config.json | Pod URL, workspace ID, agent user ID, Hub API key |

Never commit these.

Environment variables

| Variable | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | SYNAP_CP_URL | https://api.synap.live | Control plane URL | | SYNAP_LANDING_URL | https://synap.live | Landing page (OAuth callback) |


What the synap skill gives your agent

The skill is published on ClawHub as synap. Once installed, your agent gains access to Synap's Hub Protocol:

| Capability | How the agent uses it | |---|---| | Store a memory | Save atomic facts, keyword or semantic search | | Create an entity | Structured object (person, task, note, project, …) | | Search entities | By name, type, content, relationships | | Relation graph | Link entities, traverse | | Documents | Long-form markdown with governance | | Channels | Post messages to any Synap channel | | Proposals | Request changes for human review |

Agents self-discover entity types and views at runtime — no hardcoding.


Deployment paths

Self-hosted (free)

git clone https://github.com/synap-core/synap-backend
cd synap-backend/deploy
docker compose --profile openclaw up -d
synap init  # → "Connect to existing pod" → http://localhost:4000

Managed pod ($15–20/mo)

  1. Create a pod at synap.live
  2. synap init → "Connect to Synap cloud pod"
  3. Select your pod — CLI handles everything
  4. synap finish — offers public domain automatically

Troubleshooting

"Could not reach pod" Pod unreachable. Check synap status and docker compose.

"OpenClaw is not running yet" First boot takes 1–2 minutes. Wait, then synap finish.

"AI provider not configured" Run synap openclaw configure — or use synap openclaw configure --interactive to hand off to OpenClaw's own wizard.

MCP client doesn't show tools Run synap openclaw token --for claude to get a ready-to-paste config with the token pre-filled. Restart your AI client.

Dashboard: "device approval required" Shouldn't happen — synap openclaw setup-domain forges X-Real-IP: 127.0.0.1 so OpenClaw treats Caddy traffic as loopback. If it does, run synap openclaw doctor --fix.

"Session expired" in synap status Run synap login --token <token> on the server.


Why Synap

  • Structured memory: not flat files. PostgreSQL + pgvector + Typesense. Entities, relationships, full-text + semantic search.
  • Governance: AI mutations go through reviewable proposals.
  • Sovereign: self-host for free, your data stays yours.
