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 🙏

git-metadata

v1.0.0

Published

Pi extension that provides git repository metadata — branch, remotes, commits, tags, status, and contributors

Readme

git-metadata

A Pi extension that provides a git_metadata tool for querying git repository information — branch, remotes, commits, tags, status, contributors, and diff stats.

Install

pi install npm:git-metadata

Or try it temporarily without installing:

pi -e npm:git-metadata

Tool: git_metadata

Actions

| Action | Description | Options | |--------|-------------|---------| | summary | Full repo overview — branch, tracking, ahead/behind, dirty/staged/untracked counts, last commit, remote URL | — | | branch | Current branch with tracking info and ahead/behind counts | — | | remotes | List configured remotes (name + URL) | — | | log | Recent commits (hash, author, date, message) | count (default: 10) | | tags | Recent tags sorted by creation date | count (default: 10) | | status | Working tree status (modified, added, deleted, untracked) | — | | contributors | Top contributors by commit count | count (default: 10) | | diff_stat | Changed files with insertions/deletions vs a ref | ref (default: HEAD~1) |

Examples

The LLM will use this tool automatically when you ask about your git repo. You can also be specific:

  • "What's the status of my repo?" → triggers summary
  • "Show me the last 20 commits" → triggers log with count: 20
  • "Who are the top contributors?" → triggers contributors
  • "What changed since the last tag?" → triggers diff_stat with ref: <last-tag>

Custom TUI Rendering

All results have compact and expanded views. Toggle expanded view to see full details (commit lists, contributor bars, file-by-file diff stats).

Development

Test locally:

cd git-metadata
pi -e ./extensions/git-metadata.ts
