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 🙏

Readme

xz-pi-build-ios-apps

Pi package that ports OpenAI's Build iOS Apps plugin to Pi-native skill workflows.

Included skills

  • ios-app-intents
  • ios-debugger-agent
  • ios-ettrace-performance
  • ios-memgraph-leaks
  • ios-simulator-browser
  • swiftui-liquid-glass
  • swiftui-performance-audit
  • swiftui-ui-patterns
  • swiftui-view-refactor

Requirements

  • macOS 14.5 or newer
  • Xcode 16 or newer, including Command Line Tools
  • Node.js 18 or newer
  • Pi

Some workflows have additional on-demand requirements:

  • Simulator debugging: [email protected]
  • Simulator browser mirroring: [email protected]
  • ETTrace profiling: the ettrace Homebrew package and a matching app-side framework
  • Memory graphs: Apple's leaks, xcrun, and a running Simulator app

The npm CLIs are not bundled or installed globally by this package. The skills invoke pinned versions through npx so each workflow remains reproducible.

Install

pi install npm:xz-pi-build-ios-apps

For local development from the monorepo root:

pi install -l ./xz-pi-build-ios-apps
# or for one session
pi -e ./xz-pi-build-ios-apps

Run /reload or restart Pi after installation. Skills can then be invoked explicitly, for example:

/skill:ios-debugger-agent
/skill:swiftui-ui-patterns
/skill:ios-app-intents

Verify external tools

Use the pinned versions without installing them globally:

npx --yes [email protected] --help
npx --yes --package [email protected] xcodebuildmcp-doctor
npx --yes [email protected] --help

A global install is also supported when you explicitly choose to manage the same versions yourself:

npm install -g [email protected] [email protected]
xcodebuildmcp --help
serve-sim --help

Pi adaptations

Pi does not load the upstream plugin's .mcp.json. The ios-debugger-agent skill therefore uses the XcodeBuildMCP CLI directly and requests JSON output where machine-readable results are useful.

Simulator mirroring uses serve-sim to expose a local URL. Open that URL with an available Pi browser automation tool; if none is loaded, use macOS open and verify the rendered Simulator frame there.

ETTrace's interactive runner should be launched in a foreground terminal or a visible tmux pane so prompts can be answered directly.

Updating from upstream

See UPSTREAM.md. Copy the upstream skill payload, retain the Pi-specific adaptations described there, update the recorded commit and versions, then run:

npm run check --workspace xz-pi-build-ios-apps
npm pack --dry-run --workspace xz-pi-build-ios-apps

Security

Pi skills can instruct the agent to execute local commands with your user permissions. Review the skills and helper scripts before installation. The simulator workflows require an explicit device identifier, and temporary profiling/build output must remain outside the target application's source tree unless the user explicitly requests otherwise.
