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-subagents

pi-better-subagents is a Pi extension for detached, sandboxed subagent runs that keep the foreground Pi session free.

Quick Answer

Use pi-better-subagents when you want Pi to launch independent agent work without blocking the current conversation. Each subagent runs in its own pi -p child process, reports back when finished, and keeps durable logs for later inspection.

Screenshots

Core Features

  • Non-blocking subagent launches.
  • Default OS write sandboxing on macOS and Linux.
  • Explicit tool allowlists for child sessions.
  • Durable logs and result retrieval across reloads.
  • Live background-work navigator for active runs.

Install

pi install npm:pi-better-subagents

Try it for one run:

pi -e npm:pi-better-subagents

Linux sandboxing uses bubblewrap when available, for example from sudo apt-get install bubblewrap.

When To Use

Use this package for independent coding, review, research, or verification work that can finish later. Do not use it for steps that need immediate foreground interaction or user clarification.

Compatibility

| Requirement | Support | |-------------|---------| | Pi | Required | | Install method | pi install npm:pi-better-subagents | | macOS sandboxing | Supported by default | | Linux sandboxing | Uses bubblewrap when available | | Development runtime | Node.js 22+ |

Update Or Remove

pi update npm:pi-better-subagents
pi remove npm:pi-better-subagents
