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 🙏

pix-ask

Pi tool — structured questionnaire UI (ask_user).

What it does

Registers the ask_user tool — up to 4 structured multiple-choice questions in a TUI dialog when the agent needs to resolve ambiguous requirements, instead of guessing.

  • Each question: 2–4 options with labels + descriptions. Supports multi-select and markdown side-by-side previews.
  • Single-select (no preview) → appends a "Type something." free-form row.
  • Single-select with preview → skips the free-form row to fit the side-by-side layout.
  • Multi-select → appends a "Next" row to advance.
  • Non-interactive (RPC/JSON) mode falls back to text prompts.

Away notifications — while the dialog is open, ask_user holds the shared agent-state coordinator blocked (via withAgentBlock from @xynogen/pix-runtime), so a herdr pane pings an away user when a question waits.
