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

think-like-fable

A working-method skill for coding agents: establish ground truth, decompose by uncertainty, pick a route deliberately, change one thing at a time, never claim success without fresh evidence.

Distilled from a frontier model's problem-solving loop and hardened by TDD against weaker models (baseline agents patched healthy code and fabricated verification; with the skill they reproduced first, rejected false diagnoses, and quoted real evidence).

Install

npm install -g @tf00185077/think-like-fable

Installing auto-runs the installer. You can rerun it anytime:

npx @tf00185077/think-like-fable              # install (default)
npx @tf00185077/think-like-fable uninstall
# or, after global install:
think-like-fable [install|uninstall]

It copies the skill to:

| Harness | Location | Invoke | |---|---|---| | Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/think-like-fable/SKILL.md | /think-like-fable (also auto-triggers by description) | | Codex CLI | ~/.codex/prompts/think-like-fable.md | /think-like-fable |

Set THINK_LIKE_FABLE_SKIP_INSTALL=1 to suppress the postinstall copy.

What the skill enforces

  1. Phase 0 — Ground truth: every request/diagnosis is a claim; reproduce before touching anything; spec > tests > what people say.
  2. Phase 1 — Decompose by uncertainty: find the load-bearing unknown; falsify cheapest × highest-blast-radius assumptions first.
  3. Phase 2 — Route: ≥2 candidate routes; every step names its check; define the abandon tripwire up front.
  4. Phase 3 — Execute: one variable at a time; stop on surprise; two failed guesses = stop gambling, gather evidence.
  5. Phase 4 — Verify & report: blast-radius enumeration by input class; five required report sections; evidence quoted verbatim or labeled NOT VERIFIED.

Plus a rationalization table and red-flag self-checks that close the common pressure loopholes ("urgent", "too simple", "senior dev already diagnosed it").
