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

The ignore-scripts Guard

A lightweight npm/yarn package that acts as a guard to ensure lifecycle scripts are properly disabled in your repository.

Why This Exists

This package is designed to intentionally fail during installation when npm/yarn lifecycle scripts are enabled. It serves as a safety mechanism for repositories that should never run dependency installation scripts for security or build consistency reasons.

🛡️ Context: The Shai-Hulud Threat

Recent real-world attacks, such as the self-propagating Shai-Hulud worm, have exploited enabled install scripts to steal credentials and exfiltrate secrets. This package helps prevent such supply-chain attacks by ensuring install scripts are disabled.

How It Works

When added as a dependency, this package will fail installation if scripts are enabled, and install silently if scripts are disabled. This ensures your repository is protected from script-based attacks.

Installation

Install as a dev dependency:

npm config set ignore-scripts true
npm install --save-dev [email protected]
