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 🙏

pi-chef-herdr

v0.2.1

Published

Optional pi-chef add-on: opens a herdr tab for each cooking task and shows the cook's state in the herdr sidebar.

Readme

pi-chef-herdr

An optional add-on for pi-chef. When the chef runs inside herdr, it opens one herdr tab named cook <task id> for each cook when it starts cooking. The tab runs the chef viewer, which shows what the cook does: its text, each tool call, a short tail of the tool output, errors, and its report. The herdr sidebar shows the state of each cook: working, blocked (it needs you), or idle.

The tab is for watching only. Talk to the chef to steer a cook. When you close a tab, it stays closed until the next run of that task. The viewer exits when the task is closed, and herdr then closes the tab.

Install

Install pi-chef first. Then install this add-on:

pi install npm:pi-chef-herdr

To use the add-on from main, install its directory as a local package, because Pi git sources take no subdirectory. When you installed pi-chef from git, the checkout is under your Pi agent directory, for example ~/.pi/agent/git/github.com/bpauli/pi-chef/addons/herdr.

How it works

The add-on reads the cooks snapshot that pi-chef emits on pi.events (pi-chef:cooks:v1, see docs/design.md, "Integration events"). It does nothing outside herdr (HERDR_ENV=1 and HERDR_WORKSPACE_ID must be set) and nothing in a read-only chef session. It keeps its tab records in memory only, and adopts the existing cook <id> tabs after a restart. A herdr error shows as a notification once, and never stops the chef.
