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

pi-better-harness

pi-better-harness is a Pi meta package that installs the core Pi Better Harness extensions for delegated subagents, durable background tasks, and goal tracking.

Quick Answer

Use pi-better-harness when you want the full background-work set for Pi. It manages:

  • pi-better-subagents for detached, sandboxed subagent runs.
  • pi-better-background-tasks for durable shell tasks and watchers.
  • pi-better-goal for objective tracking that is aware of background work.

pi-better-read-aloud is intentionally not included yet.

Screenshots

Install

Install the three extensions as standalone Pi packages, so Pi displays and manages each by its own package name:

npx pi-better-harness install

For project-local Pi settings:

npx pi-better-harness install --local

The bundled installation remains available for compatibility:

pi install npm:pi-better-harness

When To Use

Use the installer when you want all three core extensions with standalone package identities. Install an individual package instead when you only need subagents, shell task supervision, or goal tracking.

Compatibility

| Requirement | Support | |-------------|---------| | Pi | Required | | Recommended install | npx pi-better-harness install | | Development runtime | Node.js 22+ |

Update Or Remove

Remove all three standalone packages:

npx pi-better-harness uninstall

Add --local to remove them from project-local settings.
