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 🙏

silktree

The silktree binary: CLI, MCP server and REST API in one, for silktree - game-style RPG skill-tree journey maps for software projects.

npx silktree init            # or: init --example for a full demo tree
npx silktree link            # print the hosted-viewer URL for the tree
npx silktree view            # local web viewer + REST API at http://localhost:5178

A tree is one file, .silktree/silktree.json, holding the definition and your progress together. link deflates the whole thing into a #/data/ URL fragment, so the hosted viewer renders it without the tree ever reaching a server.

As an MCP server

Every command is also an MCP tool, which is how Claude authors trees and awards XP as you work:

{ "mcpServers": { "silktree": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "silktree", "mcp"] } } }

The Claude Code plugin wires that up together with the authoring skill in one command.

Commands

| Command | Purpose | |---|---| | silktree init [--example] [--skill] [--force] | create .silktree/silktree.json | | silktree validate | schema + semantic checks (cycles, costs, overspend); exit 1 on errors | | silktree link | print the hosted-viewer URL (tree deflated into the #/data/ fragment) | | silktree tree [--status available] [--branch id] | the resolved tree as JSON | | silktree award-xp --points N --note "..." | award effort points | | silktree unlock-node <id> | spend points to unlock a node (refuses if locked or unaffordable) | | silktree add-branch / add-node / remove-node | author the tree | | silktree view [-p port] [--no-open] | serve the web viewer + REST API with live updates | | silktree mcp | serve every command as an MCP tool over stdio | | silktree assets-generate / assets-batch | generate theme assets via the Gemini image API |

Array options take JSON on the command line: --requires '["cli-basics"]'.

There is exactly one implementation behind all three transports - the actions in @silktree/actions. The bin only picks an adapter.

What ships in the package

The built binary, the web viewer SPA, the bundled themes (without their raster art, which the viewer fetches from the hosted CDN), the authoring skill and one example tree. assets-generate / assets-batch need a GEMINI_API_KEY; nothing else does.
