[flagged]

I usually instruct the agent to use the skills explicitly, e.g. "/writing-tests write the tests for @some-class.cpp"

So the skills are mostly a sort of on-demand AGENTS.md specific to the task.

Another example is I have a `plan-review` skill, so when planning something I add at the end of the prompt something like: "plan the task, .... then launch claude and codex /plan-review agents in parallel and take their findings into account before producing the final plan".

This is so sad that on top of black box LLMs we also build all these tools that are pretty much black box as well. It became very hard to understand what exactly is sent to LLM as input/context and how exactly is the output processed.

The tool does have a quite detailed view for individual sessions. Which allows you to understand input and output much better, but obviously its still mysterious how the output is generated from that input.

For those unaware, Claude Code comes with a built in /insights command...

insights is straight ego fluffing - it just tells you how brilliant you are and the only actionable insights are the ones hardcoded into the skill that appear for everyone. things like be very specific with the success criteria ahead of time (more than any human could ever possibly be), tell the llm exactly what steps to follow to the letter (instead of doing those steps yourself), use more skills (here's an example you can copy paste that has 2 lines and just tells it to be careful), and a couple of actually neat ideas (like having it use playwright to test changes visually after a UI change)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I was about to say they have a self-hosting guide, but I see they use third party services that seem absolutely pointless for such a tiny dataset. For comparison, I have a project that happily analyzes 150 million tokens worth of Claude session data w/some basic caching in plain text files on a $300 mini pc in seconds... If/when I reach billions, I might throw Sqlite into the stack. Maybe once I reach tens of billion…

There is also a docker setup in there to run everything locally.

That's great. It's still over-engineered given processing this data in-process is more than fast enough at a scale far greater than theirs.

> That's it. Your Claude Code sessions will now be uploaded automatically. No, thanks

It will be only enabled for the repo where you called the `enable` command. Or use the cli `upload` command for specific sessions. Or you can run your own instance, but we will need to add docs, on how to control the endpoint properly in the CLI.

Big ask to expect people to upload their claude code sessions verbatim to a third party with nothing on site about how it's stored, who has access to it, who they are... etc.
