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 🙏

architectonic-rail

v0.3.1

Published

Portable work-rail contract, ledger schema, and dependency-aware selector for human-agent projects.

Readme

Rail

Architectonic layer: portable work coordination for human-agent projects.

Status: active public reference, pre-1.0. Rail defines one canonical work ledger and a small execution contract. It is not a project-management suite, scheduler, issue tracker, or source-code authority. The canonical repository is architectonic/rail.

Rail contract version 0.3.1 implements Architectonic package protocol 0.2.x. The two versions are intentionally distinct: the first versions this work coordination contract; the second declares compatibility with the package family.

rail        = execution protocol
work ledger = canonical current work state
backlog     = ledger items not ready
queue       = ready ledger items
now         = optional projection
run log     = optional event history

The package includes:

  • rail.md — canonical vocabulary and behavior;
  • schema/ledger.schema.json — portable ledger shape;
  • architectonic-rail validate — structural and semantic checks;
  • architectonic-rail next — dependency-aware ready-item selection;
  • architectonic-rail status — compact current-state summary.

Use

Keep exactly one ledger.json in the location named by the project contract. Common locations are docs/ledger/ledger.json, operations/ledger.json, and meta/ledger.json.

node bin/architectonic-rail.js validate docs/ledger/ledger.json
node bin/architectonic-rail.js next docs/ledger/ledger.json
node bin/architectonic-rail.js next docs/ledger/ledger.json --role code-reviewer
node bin/architectonic-rail.js status docs/ledger/ledger.json

Backlog, queue, and now are queries over the ledger. Do not maintain separate authored files for them.

Write ledger prose with the controlled technical language contract defined in rail.md.
