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 🙏

probe-research

v0.13.1

Published

Setup wizard for Probe Research in your coding agents. Runs from zero with npx.

Readme

probe-research

The Probe Research setup wizard.

npx probe-research

Signs in to Probe Research through your browser and opens the main wizard menu. If you create an account, finish onboarding on the website first. Its final step gives you a command like:

npx probe-research install ABCD234567

The 10-character code signs you in once without another browser approval, and install opens the guided tooling setup for the coding agents on your machine (the wizard lists the ones it supports). Choose your agents, select past coding sessions and/or a folder to backfill, then confirm the capabilities before anything is installed. Imports run after setup and show what they found for review before uploading. Both imports are optional; choosing only a folder leaves session history out. Each selected agent receives its own capture credential when capture is enabled.

npx probe-research ABCD234567 also signs in, then opens the main menu. npx probe-research install runs guided setup with browser sign-in. Expired or already-used codes need to be replaced on the website.

This package is a thin launcher. Probe Research is a Python CLI; this exists so the entry point matches the npx <tool> shape people already expect. It resolves a real probe (via an existing install, uv, or pipx) and hands over — there is no reimplementation here that could drift from the CLI.

The main menu requires a signed-in account. Choose Sign out to clear this device's credentials, stop capture, and exit the wizard. Run the command again to sign in to another account. You can also change what's enabled, diagnose a problem, update, print the manual steps, or remove Probe from the device.

Publishing this launcher requires probe-research>=0.147.0 to be available on PyPI first. That CLI version introduces website sign-in codes; older installed CLIs are upgraded before the launcher forwards the new commands.
