> 26% of sessions are abandoned, most within the first 60 seconds Starting new sessions frequently and using separate new sessions for small tasks is a good practice. Keeping context clean and focused is a highly effective way to keep the agent on task. Having an up to date AGENTS.md should allow for new sessions to get into simple tasks quickly so you can use single-purpose sessions for small tasks without carrying…

I agree. In my experience: "single-purpose sessions for small tasks" is the key

Nice, I've been working on the same problem from a different direction. Instead of analyzing sessions after the fact, I built a pipeline that structures them. Stages (plan, design, code, review, same as you'd have with humans) with gates in between. The gates categorize issues into auto-fix or human-review. Auto-fix gets sent back to the coding agent, it re-reviews, and only the hard stuff makes it to me. That struct…

This is great. How are you "identifying" these stages in the session? Or is it just different slash commands / skills per stage? If its something generic enough, maybe we can build the analysis into it, so it works for your use case. Otherwise feel free to fork the repo, and add your additional analysis. Let me know if you need help.

I use prompt templates, so in the first version of my analysis script on my own logs I looked for those. However, to make it generic, I switched to using gemini as a classifier. That's what's in the repo.

is there a reason, other than general faith in humanity, to assume those '1573 sessions' are real? I do not see any link or source for the data. I assume it is to remain closed, if it exists.

it's reasonable to note that w/o sharing the data these findings can't be audited or built upon

but i think the prior on 'this team fabricated these findings' is v low

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…

It gave you a couple neat ideas and you're complaining.

So what conclusions have you drawn or could a person reasonably draw with this data?

Hey, here is Rafa, another Rudel AI developer. The ultimate goal is to make developers more productive. Suddenly, we had everyone having dozens of sessions per day, producing 10X more code, we were having 10X more activity but not necessarily 10X productivity.

With this data, you can measure if you are spending too many tokens on sessions, how successful sessions are, and what makes them successful. Developers can also share individual sessions where they struggle with their peers and share learnings and avoid errors that others have had.

From session analysis, it would be interesting to understand how crucial the documentation, the level of detail in CLAUDE.md, is. It seems to me that sometimes documentation (that's too long and often out of date) contributes to greater entropy rather than greater efficiency of the model and agent. It seems to me that sometimes it's better and more effective to remove, clean up, and simplify (both from CLAUDE.md and…

This is a great idea, documented and added to our roadmap.

To clarify, our data set consists solely of Claude Code sessions, specifically those with a human behind them. Rudel AI, in its current form, focuses on "How teams code with AI". We have plans to expland to a larger range of agentic observability use cases.

What tools do you use to run your analysis?

Some people just can't take a compliment, especially if it's generated. (I'm one of them.) Still, /insight did give useful help, but I wasn't able to target it to specific repo/sessions.
