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 🙏

⚡ ApiforgeX

The Autonomous Backend Engineer.

Turn a single sentence into a production-ready, deployed API in 60 seconds.

🚀 What is ApiforgeX?

ApiforgeX is not just a code generator; it's an Agentic DevOps Pipeline in a Box.

Backend development involves repetitive boilerplate: setting up Express, configuring Prisma, writing CRUD controllers, and managing deployments. ApiforgeX automates 100% of this.

✨ Key Features (The "Product" Promise)

🗣️ Natural Language Input: Just say "I need a blog API with posts and comments".

🧠 AI Architect (Oumi): Our specialized model designs a strict, valid Database Schema (no hallucinations).

🏗️ Auto-Scaffolding: Generates TypeScript, Express, Prisma, and Docker configurations instantly.

🤖 Automated Code Review: Every line is audited by CodeRabbit AI before merging.

🚀 Instant Deployment: Automatically deploys to Vercel serverless functions.

🔔 Real-time Updates: Get Slack notifications for every build step.

🛠️ How It Works (The Architecture)

ApiforgeX combines the power of best-in-class developer tools:

Interface: Cline (VS Code) acts as the pilot.

Orchestrator: Kestra manages the lifecycle (Generate -> Test -> Deploy).

Intelligence: Ollama (Llama 3.2) generates the logic.

Quality: CodeRabbit ensures code health.

Hosting: Vercel serves the API globally.

⚡ Quick Start

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+

Docker & Docker Compose (for Kestra)

GitHub Token & Vercel Token

Important: You must install the CodeRabbit GitHub App on your target repository for the automated review cycle to work.

📦 Installation (For Users)

The easiest way to use ApiforgeX is to install it globaly via npm:

npm install -g apiforgex

🚀 Usage

Once installed, you can generate a new backend project in seconds:

  1. Initialize Configuration (Optional, for GitHub/Slack integration)

    apiforgex init
  2. Generate a Project

    apiforgex generate

    Follow the interactive prompts to describe your API, choose a database, and watch the magic happen!

🧠 AI Configuration

ApiforgeX uses AI to generate code. You have two options:

  1. Google Gemini (Recommended): Set GEMINI_API_KEY in your environment variables.
  2. Local Ollama: Install Ollama and run ollama run llama3.2.

🛠️ Development Setup (For Contributors)

If you want to contribute to the ApiforgeX source code, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/shubham-01-star/ApiforgeX.git
    cd ApiforgeX
    npm install
  2. Start the Orchestrator

Launch Kestra in a local container:

docker-compose up -d

Visit http://localhost:8080 to see the dashboard.

  1. Run the Agent

You can run the CLI directly or trigger it via Kestra:

Direct CLI Mode

npm start -- generate --prompt "A task management app" --db postgresql

Integration Details

Kestra

Kestra Orchestrates the entire CI/CD pipeline, manages Docker containers, and handles Slack notifications. The heart of our autonomous workflow.

Cline

Cline acts as the pilot and primary interface. We built a custom MCP Server (src/mcp/server.ts) to allow Cline to trigger complex Kestra workflows using natural language.

Oumi

Oumi is used for Data Synthesis. We capture the logs and prompts from our agents to build a fine-tuning dataset, preparing for future self-improvement cycles.

CodeRabbit

CodeRabbit is our autonomous QA engineer. It reviews every Pull Request generated by the agent. Our "Watcher" script (watcher.ts) parses CodeRabbit's feedback to auto-trigger fixes.

Vercel

Vercel provides instant serverless deployment. Every successful merge in our pipeline automatically deploys the generated API to production.

🤝 Contributing

3. Configure Cline (MCP)

To enable the Agentic capabilities in VS Code:

  1. Open Cline Settings -> MCP Servers.
  2. Copy the content from cline_mcp_config.json in this repo.
  3. Paste it into your Cline MCP Settings file.
  4. Update the Environment Variables (GITHUB_TOKEN, SLACK_WEBHOOK etc.) with your real credentials.
  5. Ensure the project is built: npm run build.

Now you can ask Cline:

"Generate a new library management project."
