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 🙏

Native Pi caveman communication mode: fewer output tokens, same technical accuracy.

Install

Via npm:

pi install npm:@vanillagreen/pi-caveman

Via vstack:

cargo install --git https://github.com/vanillagreencom/vstack.git vstack
vstack add vanillagreencom/vstack --pi-extension pi-caveman --harness pi -y

Restart Pi after installation.

Commands

| Command | Action | | --- | --- | | /caveman | Toggle the current session between off and the last active mode. | | /caveman:lite\|full\|ultra\|micro | Set a session override mode. | | /caveman:toggle | Toggle the session override between off and the last active mode. | | /caveman off | Disable caveman mode for the current session. | | /caveman status | Show current mode and whether it comes from settings or a session override. |

Arguments support autocomplete.

Modes

| Mode | Style | | --- | --- | | lite | Professional full sentences, but no filler or hedging. | | full | Classic terse caveman; fragments are OK. | | ultra | Maximum English compression with abbreviations and arrows. | | micro | Shortest prompt injection for token-sensitive sessions. |

Behavior

  • The extension injects instructions in before_agent_start; it does not post-process model output.
  • The canonical setting is mode (off, lite, full, ultra, or micro). Older enabled + defaultMode settings are only read as a local fallback.
  • /caveman commands create a per-session override when sessionOverrideAllowed is on. Changing the extension-manager mode setting clears the session override so the configured mode takes over immediately.
  • Session override state and the last active mode persist in the Pi session and restore from the active branch.
  • Settings live in Pi/vstack settings.json; project settings override user settings.
  • QOL can use the caveman bridge for its compact statusline badge and Alt+C editor shortcut.
  • The clarity/safety escape is prompt policy: destructive, security-sensitive, or ambiguous turns get explicit normal-clarity guidance while mode can remain active for later turns.
