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

create-askalf

One command. Full AI workforce. No Docker.

npx create-askalf

Sets up AskAlf — an AI workforce that thinks, heals, remembers, and evolves with a nervous system, immune system, collective memory, dream cycles, and natural selection. Runs in a single Node.js process.

Quick Start

npx create-askalf

Interactive setup:

  1. Connect Claude account (OAuth — uses your subscription) or enter an API key
  2. Downloads and builds the platform
  3. Seeds 50 agent templates + 3 default fleet agents
  4. Launches the full dashboard at http://localhost:3000

Quick Mode

npx create-askalf --quick

Skips prompts. Auto-detects Claude OAuth if logged in, falls back to ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var.

Doctor

npx create-askalf doctor

Built-in diagnostic and repair tool. Auto-detects your install type (Docker or standalone), checks prerequisites, verifies config, fixes broken secrets, and offers AI-powered troubleshooting via Claude Code.

  • Checks: git, node, pnpm, .env, dependencies, build, ports, Docker status
  • Auto-fixes: missing pnpm, broken secrets, missing infrastructure configs
  • If Claude Code is installed, Alf will fix remaining issues for you

What You Get

  • Full dashboard UI at http://localhost:3000 — fleet view, organism tab, settings, terminal
  • PGlite database — in-process PostgreSQL via WASM, no external DB needed
  • In-memory cache — no Redis needed
  • 50 agent templates across 10 categories (dev, marketing, support, research, etc.)
  • 3 default agents — Watchdog, Builder, Fleet Chief
  • Real AI chat — talk to Alf, design agent teams in natural language
  • Universal AI — works with Claude OAuth, Anthropic API, OpenAI, or Ollama (any one)

AI Providers

Works with whatever you have. Priority chain:

| Priority | Provider | Config | |----------|----------|--------| | 1 | Claude OAuth | claude login (uses subscription) | | 2 | Anthropic API | ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | | 3 | OpenAI API | OPENAI_API_KEY | | 4 | Ollama local | OLLAMA_URL (default localhost:11434) |

No provider is required at install time — configure any one later in ~/.askalf/.env.

Migrate to Docker

Outgrew standalone? One command:

bash scripts/migrate-to-docker.sh

Exports PGlite data, generates Docker .env, imports into PostgreSQL. Your standalone data stays untouched.

Production (Docker)

curl -fsSL https://get.askalf.org | bash

Full stack: PostgreSQL + pgvector, Redis, Ollama, SearxNG, headless Chromium. 6 containers at localhost:3001 in 60 seconds.
