In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract improvement tasks, technical lessons, reusable prompts, tool discoveries, and automation candidates from past sessions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

insight-extractor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Insight Extractor Skill

Parse the built-in /insights report and extract actionable items into structured, trackable markdown files.

What it does

Reads ~/.claude/usage-data/report.html (generated by /insights) and extracts:

  • Action Items: CLAUDE.md improvements, unfinished tasks, follow-ups
  • Useful Prompts & Patterns: Effective interaction strategies and copyable prompts
  • Technical Learnings: Debugging insights, friction patterns, what worked
  • Workflow Improvements: Better approaches discovered across sessions
  • Tool Discoveries: Features to try, new commands, MCP tools
  • Automation Candidates: Repetitive tasks that could be automated (tagged #automation-candidate, agent-runnable ones tagged #agent-task)

Usage

Auto mode (default)

/insight-extractor

Extracts all categories, saves everything automatically using configured paths.

Interactive mode

/insight-extractor --interactive

Walks through each category with AskUserQuestion -- cherry-pick items, set priorities, choose which automations get task files.

Configure mode

/insight-extractor --configure

Walk through settings via AskUserQuestion. Configures:

  • Insights folder -- where insight files are saved (default: Research/Insights)
  • Tasks folder -- where automation task files go (default: Tasks/inbox, or disable)
  • Daily notes folder -- where daily notes live (default: Daily)
  • MoC file -- which MoC tracks insights (default: MoC - Insights.md, or disable)
  • Date format -- YYYYMMDD (compact) or YYYY-MM-DD (ISO)
  • Machine name -- include in filenames or not
  • Statistics -- include session stats section or not
  • Stale threshold -- warn if report older than N days

Settings saved to .claude/skills/insight-extractor/config.json.

Without machine name

/insight-extractor --no-machine

Prerequisites

Run /insights first to generate the report. The extractor reads from:

  • ~/.claude/usage-data/report.html (main report)
  • ~/.claude/usage-data/facets/ (structured JSON data)

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
