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

@synthryn/sypi-discovery

Optional external harness discovery for SyPi. It scans other agent harnesses' config directories: claude, codex, gemini, opencode, cursor, windsurf, cline, copilot (github), vscode, and a root mcp.json. It imports their skills, MCP servers, markdown slash commands, and exec-format tools. SyPi-native configuration always wins on name collisions, and project trust gates the whole import: an untrusted or unknown project stays inactive unless you opt in with allow untrusted.

What it does and does not load:

  • Skills: Each discovered skill root directory is fed to the core skills loader after the SyPi roots. SyPi names always win.
  • MCP servers: Deduplicated external servers are fed to sypi-mcp. A server the active profile already defines stays profile-owned.
  • Commands: Discovered Markdown slash commands, including cline rules and copilot instructions) become /name commands that expand $1..$N, $ARGUMENTS, and ${N:-default} and run the markdown as a prompt. A name a builtin or another extension already claims is skipped and reported in /discovery.
  • Tools: Exec-format scripts (.sh, .bash, .py, .js with shebang) become tools that shell out to the script. TS/JS module tools are counted and reported but not loaded in v1.
  • Hooks and extensions: Detected and counted in /discovery only. Foreign hooks never execute. Foreign extension packages never load.

One /discovery command reports status: active or inactive with its reason, per-source and per-kind counts, issues, skipped collisions, and detected but unexecuted hooks and extensions. It provides quick toggles (enable, disable, allow, deny, rescan). A Settings row under integrations (category integrations → External harness discovery) toggles the master switch, the allow-untrusted bypass, the four kind rows, and all ten source rows (both / project / user / off).

Configuration lives in the profile discovery block. Absent blocks default to enabled with every source and kind on, while untrusted projects remain blocked. When discovery is disabled, no scanning occurs. The command and Settings rows remain live so discovery can be re-enabled.

It needs no account, API key, token, password, network, or external binary; installing it requires npm, disclosed in catalog consent.
