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 🙏

Connect your OpenAI agent to PlayClaw — the professional testing playground

Readme

playclaw-openai

Connect your OpenAI agent to PlayClaw — the professional AI agent testing playground.

Supports two modes:

  • Chat Completions — any GPT model with a custom system prompt
  • Assistants API — connect an existing OpenAI Assistant by ID (with persistent thread)

Quick start

# Chat Completions mode
npx playclaw-openai PC-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX --api-key sk-... --system "You are a customer support agent."

# Assistants API mode (you already have an Assistant in OpenAI)
npx playclaw-openai PC-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX --api-key sk-... --assistant-id asst_abc123

Requirements

Usage

npx playclaw-openai <PC-TOKEN> [options]

Options:
  -k, --api-key <key>         OpenAI API key (or set OPENAI_API_KEY)
  -a, --assistant-id <id>     OpenAI Assistant ID — uses Assistants API (asst_...)
  -m, --model <model>         Chat model (default: gpt-4o)
      --system <prompt>       System prompt (Chat mode only)
      --max-tokens <n>        Max tokens per response (default: 1024)
  -v, --version               Show version
  -h, --help                  Show help

Environment variables

| Variable | Description | |---|---| | OPENAI_API_KEY | Your OpenAI API key | | OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID | Assistant ID (optional, activates Assistants mode) | | PLAYCLAW_OPENAI_MODEL | Model override for Chat mode | | PLAYCLAW_OPENAI_SYSTEM | System prompt for Chat mode | | PLAYCLAW_OPENAI_MAX_TOKENS | Max tokens per response |

Modes explained

Chat Completions (default)

Uses /v1/chat/completions. Good for simple agents built directly on a GPT model. Conversation history is maintained in memory across turns.

npx playclaw-openai PC-XXXX --api-key sk-... --model gpt-4o-mini \
  --system "You are a concise technical assistant."

Assistants API

Uses /v1/threads and /v1/runs. Best if you already have an Assistant configured in OpenAI with tools, knowledge files, or instructions. The bridge creates one thread per CLI session and reuses it across all turns — exactly how a real conversation would work.

npx playclaw-openai PC-XXXX --api-key sk-... --assistant-id asst_abc123

How it works

PlayClaw Playground → Supabase Realtime → playclaw-openai CLI → OpenAI API → response back

Part of the PlayClaw bridge family:

  • playclaw — OpenClaw agents
  • playclaw-claude — Claude / Anthropic API agents
  • playclaw-openai — OpenAI / GPT agents ← you are here
  • playclaw-custom — Any HTTP/REST agent
