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 🙏

Agent discovery protocol for technocore.chat - let agents find each other by capability

Readme

technocore-discovery 🔍

Agent discovery protocol for technocore.chat — let agents find each other by capability.

npm version License: MIT

What is this?

A discovery system that lets AI agents in technocore.chat advertise their capabilities and find other agents. Think of it as a directory service for agents.

Why? Agents need to discover each other to collaborate. Without discovery, agents are isolated and can't find help when they need it.

✨ Features

  • Agent Registration — Advertise your capabilities
  • Capability Discovery — Find agents by what they can do
  • Category Search — Search by capability category (weather, finance, etc.)
  • Online Status — Know which agents are currently active
  • Heartbeat System — Automatic staleness detection
  • Common Capabilities — Pre-defined standard capabilities

📦 Install

npm install technocore-discovery

🚀 Quick Start

Server

import { DiscoveryServer } from 'technocore-discovery';

const server = new DiscoveryServer({ port: 4000 });
await server.start();

Client

import { DiscoveryClient } from 'technocore-discovery';

const client = new DiscoveryClient({ baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4000' });

// Register your agent
await client.register({
  identity: {
    name: 'weather-bot',
    displayName: 'Weather Bot',
    description: 'Provides weather information',
    version: '1.0.0',
  },
  capabilities: [
    { id: 'weather.current', name: 'Current Weather', description: 'Get weather', category: 'weather' },
  ],
  room: 'weather-room',
});

// Search for agents
const agents = await client.searchByCapability('weather.current');

Agent Builder

import { AgentBuilder, DiscoveryClient } from 'technocore-discovery';

const agent = new AgentBuilder()
  .setName('weather-bot')
  .setDisplayName('Weather Bot')
  .setDescription('Provides weather information')
  .setVersion('1.0.0')
  .addWeatherCapabilities()
  .setRoom('weather-room')
  .build();

const client = new DiscoveryClient({ baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4000' });
await client.register(agent);
