Claude Code now has an /insights command that generates a report about your Claude usage. I ran it for the first time today. Here are some notes:
- At times, it is almost eerily like getting feedback from a very well-informed, highly trained human manager.
- That's not all good. Claude views me as a browser automation specialist: I've been scripting some user flows and asking Claude to run through them in Chrome. This generates some long-running, resource-intensive sessions that skew my metrics (or so I conjecture).
- Claude gave me some gentle negative feedback for abandoning too many conversations before I got concrete results. In some cases I certainly did set up projects wrong and fail to give Claude the tooling it needed. In other cases I was just exploring a bit, and abandoning a lot of these threads seems pretty optimal to me. Especially since I went through a stretch of using Codex to "hit singles", I'm pretty comfortable with my approach here. Again, though, this felt exactly like something a human manager would say, however limited it might be as an evaluation of me.
- I'm chatting with Claude about the report, trying both to learn more about why it made those recommendations and describing why I think my work style has benefits Claude is under-valuing. Using AI feedback to get better is going to be an essential skill. (Justifying your work's value to AI, too.) Start practicing now.
- The report gives concrete examples of things to try (making skills, agents, and hooks, with copy-and-pastable suggestions); the suggestions are very good. Most of us could profitably do more to repeat and encapsulate our AI interactions, and these reports should help with that.
- I ran
/insightstwice and got broadly similar reports, but with different emphasis. I had done some work with Claude between runs, so I don't know whether this reflects random elements, the effect of the differential sessions, or both. My best conjecture is that/insightsweights recent work heavily.
Now that I'm getting at least somewhat used to the amazing things AI can do to build, /insights was one of the most striking, "feels like the future" experiences I've had recently. Recommended.
