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-simple-web

Strict separation-of-concerns web tools for the Pi coding agent.

pi-simple-web replaces broad, ambiguous URL tools with narrow tools that each do one job and reject the wrong input with an actionable suggestion.

Tools

  • read_webpage - ordinary webpages/articles/docs only. Rejects GitHub, YouTube, PDFs, media, and direct search tasks.
  • read_github_repo - GitHub repository root/tree URLs only. Rejects GitHub file/blob/raw URLs.
  • read_github_file - GitHub blob/raw file URLs only. Rejects repo roots and trees.
  • read_pdf - direct remote PDF URLs only.
  • read_youtube_transcript - YouTube transcript/caption extraction only. Requires yt-dlp.
  • inspect_video_frames - one YouTube image frame at an explicit timestamp. Requires yt-dlp and ffmpeg.
  • search_web - plain-language web search query only. Rejects direct URLs.
  • get_web_content - retrieves cached full output using a contentId returned by another tool.
  • read_url - deprecated compatibility alias that intentionally errors to reduce ambiguity.

Install

pi install npm:pi-simple-web

For YouTube transcript and frame tools:

brew install yt-dlp ffmpeg

Design

The package enforces routing in code, not just in descriptions:

  • A GitHub URL passed to read_webpage is rejected with a suggestion to use read_github_repo or read_github_file.
  • A direct URL passed to search_web is rejected with a suggestion to use a reader.
  • A repo URL passed to read_github_file is rejected with a suggestion to use read_github_repo.
  • A PDF passed to read_webpage is rejected with a suggestion to use read_pdf.

This keeps the agent from accidentally switching modes because of optional parameters.
