Session-Stats

SkillCommunication

Render a dashboard of the current Claude Code session — message counts, token usage, cache read/write, dollar cost, context %, lines changed, cost-per-turn sparkline, and a tool-call histogram — parsed from the session transcript JSONL by a bundled bash script. One bash call, zero analysis, zero confirmation. Optionally pass a session id to inspect a different session. Use when the user asks for session stats, usage, token or cost breakdown, or a session dashboard.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by foyzulkarim/skills in dev-pipeline/skills/session-stats/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

One bash call, then relay. The bundled script finds the transcript at ~/.claude/projects/*/<session-id>.jsonl (current id comes from CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID in the bash environment), aggregates it with jq, and prints the dashboard. All numbers come from the script — compute nothing yourself.

Steps

  1. Run — pass a session id only if the user named one, otherwise no args:
bash {base_directory}/dashboard.sh [session-id]
  1. Print the script's stdout verbatim inside a ```text code fence. After the fence, add at most one sentence — or nothing.

  2. Non-zero exit → print stderr verbatim and stop. No retries, no fallback parsing.

Notes

  • The transcript schema is internal to Claude Code; the script degrades to for fields it can't find. Never "fill in" missing values by reading the JSONL yourself.
  • For a colored render, the user can run the script directly: ! bash {base_directory}/dashboard.sh --color

You Must NOT

  • Parse the JSONL or cost sidecar yourself, or run any git/jq command
  • Summarize, interpret, reformat, or annotate the dashboard beyond one sentence
  • Ask questions — this skill has no interactive path
