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 🙏

create-batcave-workspace

v0.1.0

Published

Scaffold a new Batcave workspace folder with a basic file and folder structure.

Readme

create-batcave-workspace

Scaffold a new Batcave workspace folder with a basic file and folder structure.

Usage

npx create-batcave-workspace my-workspace
# or
npm create batcave-workspace my-workspace

Creates my-workspace/ (default name: batcave-workspace/) containing:

├── README.md
├── .gitignore
├── .batcave.json      # workspace marker + version stamp
├── repos/             # gitignored — for cloned repositories
├── plans/
└── researches/

Then runs git init and makes an initial commit, so the folder is a fresh repo ready to push.

Skills

Skills are distributed separately via batcave-skills:

npx batcave-skills install           # into the current workspace
npx batcave-skills install --global  # for all your projects

Releasing

  1. Bump version in package.json and commit.
  2. Tag it: git tag vX.Y.Z && git push --tags
  3. The publish.yml workflow verifies the tag matches package.json, then publishes to npm via trusted publishing (OIDC — no npm token needed).

One-time setup

  1. Publish v1.0.0 manually (the package must exist before a trusted publisher can be attached to it):
    npm login --registry https://registry.npmjs.org
    npm publish --registry https://registry.npmjs.org
  2. On npmjs.com, go to the package → Settings → Trusted Publisher → GitHub Actions:
    • User: thomaswang-dev, Repository: create-batcave-workspace
    • Workflow filename: publish.yml
    • Allowed action: npm publish
