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 🙏

v1.2.3

Published

Install Forge assistant assets for read-only GitHub discussion, issue, and PR review analysis.

Readme

Forge

npm version CI License: MIT Node.js

Give your AI coding assistant superpowers over your GitHub workflow.

Forge is a single CLI that installs plugins into GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI — so every assistant in your toolkit can analyze discussions, review PRs, and coach you on engineering quality. One install, four assistants, zero lock-in.

Quick Start

npx forge-ai-assist@latest

That's it. Forge asks which assistants you use, installs the plugins, and you're ready.

What Can You Do With Forge?

Understand what the community is saying

"Summarize the top 5 open discussions and highlight unanswered questions"

The Discussion Analyzer fetches live GitHub Discussions data and gives you a structured summary — no tab-switching required.

Triage issues faster

"Show me open bugs labeled P0 and group them by component"

The Issue Analyzer pulls live issue data so your assistant can filter, group, and surface what matters.

Review PRs without context-switching

"Analyze review comments on PR #42 — what are the recurring themes?"

The PR Comments Analyzer reads review threads and distills them into actionable patterns.

Level up your commits

"Review my last 10 commits — are they atomic and well-narrated?"

The Commit Craft Coach analyzes your Git history and coaches you toward commits that tell a clear story.

Ship reviewable PRs

"Evaluate my open PR — is it structured for easy review?"

The PR Architect examines PR size, scope, and structure, then coaches you toward PRs reviewers can confidently approve.

Write better code reviews

"Assess my recent reviews — are they specific and architecturally deep?"

The Review Quality Coach analyzes your outgoing reviews and helps you move beyond "LGTM."

Generate release notes

"Generate release notes from v1.1.20 to HEAD"

The Release Notes Generator synthesizes commits, PRs, and issues into structured release notes.

Plugin Groups

| Group | Plugins | Installed by default? | |-------|---------|----------------------| | Core | Discussion Analyzer, Issue Analyzer, PR Comments Analyzer | Yes | | Elevate | Commit Craft Coach, PR Architect, Review Quality Coach | --plugins elevate | | Ops | Release Notes Generator | --plugins ops |

Supported Assistants

| Assistant | How to invoke a plugin | |-----------|----------------------| | GitHub Copilot | /agent → select a forge-* agent | | Claude Code | /forge:discussion-analyzer, /forge:issue-analyzer, etc. | | Codex | $forge-discussion-analyzer, $forge-issue-analyzer, etc. | | Gemini CLI | forge:discussion-analyzer, forge:issue-analyzer, etc. |

How It Works

Forge doesn't run a background service or proxy your data. It installs lightweight prompt files — agents, skills, and workflows — directly into each assistant's config directory. When you invoke a plugin, your assistant runs read-only gh and git commands in your current repo and interprets the results. Your data never leaves your machine beyond what gh already does.
