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

better-design-mcp

Design systems, UI/UX principles, icons, and code review for AI coding agents. better-design.com

Setup

npx better-design-mcp setup

Detects your MCP clients, writes the config (merge-safe, backed up), and adds an auto-invoke rule so your agent uses Better Design on UI work. Get an API key at better-design.com/mcp.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --scope user better-design --transport http https://better-design.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Every other client: per-client config at better-design.com/mcp.

setup flags: --client <ids> (skip detection) · --project (vs default --global) · --api-key <key> · --no-rule (skip the CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md rule) · --dry-run · --yes.

Supported clients: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot), Windsurf, Zed, Cline, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, Amp, Codex CLI, Continue.dev.

What you can ask

  • "use better-design" → pick a system from the catalog; the agent installs it (tokens + every component) via shadcn.
  • "create a design system that…" → generates a custom one and hands back a single npx shadcn add command for your Next.js project.
  • Building any UI → it auto-loads design principles + WCAG/visual review rules so the output isn't generic AI slop.

Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | resolve-design-system | Find systems by industry, personality, or style | | get-design-system-docs | Install a full system (tokens + every component) via shadcn | | preview-design-system | Render an inline visual preview of a catalog system | | create-design-system | Generate a custom system; returns its project link | | check-design-system-status | Poll a generation; returns the install command + preview when ready | | get-ui-principle | UI principles (spacing, color, hierarchy, typography, depth…) | | get-ux-principle | UX principles (forms, navigation, errors, onboarding…) | | get-review-rules | WCAG 2.1 + visual design review checklists | | resolve-icon-library · search-icons · install-icons · detect-icon-library | Find, search, and scaffold inline SVG icons |

After install, set "style": "new-york" in components.json before running the shadcn command (the default base-nova style rewrites Radix asChild and breaks components). The returned install instructions include this.
