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 🙏

v3.1.0

Published

Coordinates frontend reference acquisition and closed-loop proof verification with physical evidence authority.

Readme

Pli'ef Lobster v3.1

Frontend orchestration with retained research and independent craft review.

Version 3.1 makes proof authoritative: stages and verdicts are computed from semantically validated child artifacts, cross-artifact hashes, runtime attestation, evidence ownership and independent craft review. Receipt stage claims and verdict pointers are ignored.

Version 3 adds a closed verification loop: automatic surface profile, scenario planning, browser/runtime adapters, dependency fingerprints, owner-bound evidence and staged delivery truth. A missing browser, stale hash, failed assertion or absent review remains incomplete.

Version 2.1 adds Platform Capability Scout before dependency selection. Applicable new work attaches browser-support, native/hybrid/library decisions and exercised fallback evidence, then runs verify --require-platform. Plain verify still reads earlier receipts and validates any Scout attached.

Load SKILL.md through your skill host. Optional integrations are resolved by PLIEF_SIFR_PATH, PLIEF_ORUN_PATH, ~/.plief/lobster/config.json, host registry, and finally a development-only sibling fallback. The standalone ZIP never guesses URLs and reports unavailable integrations honestly. Python 3.10+ is required for the standard-library CLI; web/browser/MCP capabilities belong to the host.

From this folder run python scripts/lobster.py --help for commands. Use research-contract for draft, verification, schema and migration instructions. The draft is intentionally incomplete until real research is recorded. Local tests: python -m unittest discover -s tests -v. The sibling integration case skips explicitly when those separate packages are unavailable.

The entrypoint routes domain references. scripts/lobster.py verify-v3 computes the proof state from the indexed artifacts; scripts/browser-runner.mjs executes the closed scenario matrix when Playwright is provided; scripts/dependency-graph.mjs emits a deterministic local import graph. evals/cases contains behavioral scenarios for an agent to execute; unit tests do not establish visual skill effectiveness.

v3 is current; v2 and v1 are LEGACY receipt reading, but substantial builds require v2 gates. The CLI does not browse, install components, render, certify licensing or judge beauty. Human/agent inspection of the actual experience remains necessary. No third-party runtime dependency was added.
