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

Aster Code

Aster Code is Aster's terminal coding agent. Install the package and launch it with aster.

npm install -g @uesoftware/aster-code
aster

Sessions

Aster sessions are resumable:

aster --resume <session-id>
aster --continue

/exit prints the exact resume command for the active session.

Interaction modes

Shift+Tab cycles the normal interaction states without adding transcript noise:

  • manual mode — protected tool calls ask first.
  • plan mode — inspect and plan without changing the workspace.
  • accept edits — low-risk reads/search/todos are automatic, while protected side effects still ask.
  • auto mode — launch with aster ... --yolo; all OpenCode permission requests are approved for that session. --yolo must be the final argument.

Use /permissions, /plan, and /build for explicit control.

Effort

Run /effort for an interactive Faster/Smarter control. Available levels are low, medium, high, xhigh, max, and ultracode.

Skills

Aster automatically discovers installed SKILL.md packages from:

  • <workspace>/.aster/skills/*/SKILL.md
  • <workspace>/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
  • <workspace>/.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md
  • <workspace>/.opencode/skill/*/SKILL.md
  • the same directories under your home folder

Run /skills to list everything found. Each installed skill also becomes a slash command, so an installed caveman skill can be invoked with /caveman, and /skill caveman <task> works as an explicit form. /reload-skills rescans without restarting the CLI.

OpenCode natively understands Claude/Agents/OpenCode skill locations; Aster-native .aster/skills files are exposed to the agent by path and read directly when activated.

Web research

The backend exposes OpenCode web search/fetch tools. /web <query> asks Aster to use them explicitly; the agent can also browse when current external information is materially useful.

Shortcuts

Type / for command autocomplete, ? for the live shortcut panel, Shift+Tab to cycle interaction modes, and Esc to interrupt a running turn. Ctrl+C and /exit both close the CLI and print the resume command for the active session. Permission prompts support arrows/Enter, number keys, Esc, Tab to amend, and Ctrl+E to expand request details.
