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 🙏

amaru

v0.5.1

Published

Skills, commands & agents manager for Claude Code (npm wrapper for the Go binary)

Readme

amaru (npm wrapper)

npm distribution of amaru — the Go CLI that manages skills, commands, and agents for Claude Code.

Usage

Run without installing:

npx amaru init
npx amaru install

Or install globally:

npm install -g amaru
amaru --help

How it works

On npm install, the package's postinstall hook downloads the matching prebuilt binary from github.com/useamaru/amaru/releases for your platform (linux/darwin/windows × amd64/arm64) and drops it under bin/. The amaru bin entry is a tiny Node launcher that execs the binary and forwards argv, stdio, and exit code.

Environment variables

  • AMARU_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1 — skip the postinstall download. Useful in CI when you want the npm package installed but will fetch the binary another way.
  • AMARU_VERSION=<x.y.z> — override the version tag fetched from GitHub Releases. Defaults to this package's own version.
  • AMARU_REPO=<owner>/<repo> — override the GitHub repo. Defaults to useamaru/amaru.

Supported platforms

Linux and macOS (x64, arm64) extract via the system tar. Windows uses the tar.exe that ships with Windows 10 (1809) and later to unpack the .zip release.

If your platform isn't supported by the prebuilts, build from source — see the main README.
