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 🙏

roost-client

v0.1.0

Published

Tiny client to report AI agents into Roost — heartbeat, runs, cost, and human-in-the-loop approvals.

Readme

roost-client (TypeScript)

Report any AI agent into Roost with one small client. Heartbeat while alive, a run per task, an approval before anything you can't undo.

npm install roost-client
import { Roost } from "roost-client";

const roost = new Roost({
  url: process.env.ROOST_URL!,        // https://xxxx.supabase.co
  apiKey: process.env.ROOST_API_KEY!, // from Roost → Settings → API keys
  slug: "inbox-triage",
});

// 1. Register on boot (idempotent)
await roost.register({
  name: "Inbox Triage",
  jobTitle: "Email triage",
  department: "Ops",
  runtime: "nanoclaw",
  monthlyBudgetUsd: 50,
});

// 2. Heartbeat while alive
const stopHeartbeat = roost.startHeartbeat(15_000);

// 3. A run per task
const run = await roost.startRun({ trigger: "cron" });
try {
  // ... do the work ...
  await roost.log("Sorted 38 emails", { run });
  await roost.endRun(run, { status: "success", costUsd: 0.12, summary: "Sorted 38 emails" });
} catch (err) {
  await roost.endRun(run, { status: "error", errorMessage: String(err) });
}

// 4. Gate anything irreversible behind a human
const ok = await roost.requestApproval({
  actionLabel: "Send 240 outreach emails",
  payload: { count: 240 },
});
if (ok) {
  // ... a human clicked Approve in the dashboard ...
}

stopHeartbeat();

Notes

  • No dependencies. Uses global fetch and crypto.randomUUID (Node 18+, Deno, Bun, browsers).
  • Telemetry never crashes your agent. Pass onError to swallow transport errors instead of throwing.
  • requestApproval blocks (polls the approval endpoint) until a human decides, it expires, or timeoutMs elapses. It returns true only on an explicit approve.
  • url accepts either the project URL or the full …/functions/v1 base.
