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

@yassimba/pi-ask-user

A reviewed distribution of pi-ask-user for the Yassimba setup catalog. This package contains the exact upstream npm release recorded in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md. It adds no runtime code of its own.

Install

Select Ask User with ai-setup add, or install it directly:

pi install npm:@yassimba/pi-ask-user

Restart Pi or run /reload. The package provides one tool:

  • ask_user presents structured questions in a searchable split-pane TUI with single- or multi-select options (allowMultiple: true), freeform input, and a details preview pane.

The package also includes upstream's ask-user skill, which teaches the agent when to gate decisions on a question. Display behavior can be tuned with the PI_ASK_USER_DISPLAY_MODE, PI_ASK_USER_OVERLAY_TOGGLE_KEY, and PI_ASK_USER_COMMENT_TOGGLE_KEY environment variables as described in the upstream README.

Pi extensions run with your user account's permissions. Review the upstream source before enabling it.

Updating the bundled release

  1. Inspect the new upstream npm tarball, source commit, dependencies, and licenses.
  2. Set an exact pi-ask-user version in package.json.
  3. From plugins/ask-user, run npm install --package-lock-only --ignore-scripts --omit=peer --install-strategy=nested --workspaces=false to update npm-shrinkwrap.json.
  4. Update THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md with the version, commit, npm integrity, and any bundled dependency whose payload omits its license notice.
  5. From the repo root, run npm install, npm run catalog:generate, and npm run check.
  6. Inspect npm pack --dry-run --json --workspace plugins/ask-user and publish a new wrapper version before publishing the Pi Kit catalog update.
