apply-insights

apply-insights is a skill for Claude Code from JotJunior/cstk. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,289 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A project-improvement workflow based on Claude Code usage data. Claude Code is a coding assistant, and this add-on applies observed usage patterns to project instructions and workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve CLAUDE.md instructions, suggest automated hooks, strengthen bug-fixing and database-migration practices, or check enum and data-transfer-object naming conventions.
Why use it?
It helps address repeated problems in how an assistant works on a project, such as debugging habits, migration safety, coding conventions, or missing quality checks.

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 C, and why

apply-insights scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/digest-facets.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Skill: Apply Usage Insights

Analyze the current project and apply relevant insights from usage patterns to improve Claude Code effectiveness.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS should optionally specify a focus area:

  • bugfix — Apply bug fix protocol and debugging improvements
  • migrations — Apply database migration safety guidelines
  • conventions — Apply code convention checks (enum/DTO matching)
  • hooks — Suggest hooks for automated quality gates
  • all — Full analysis and recommendations (default)

Step 1: Load Insights (data-driven first)

There are TWO possible sources. Prefer the facets digest — it reflects the user's ACTUAL recent sessions (current, structured, project-specific), whereas the curated .md is hand-written and often stale / from a different project.

Primary: facets digest (native /insights output)

The native /insights command writes per-session analyses to ~/.claude/usage-data/facets/*.json (fields: goal_categories, outcome, friction_counts, friction_detail, claude_helpfulness, user_satisfaction_counts, …). Aggregate them into a digest:

# Resolve the skill dir: installed copy first, repo source when developing.
DIGEST="$HOME/.claude/skills/apply-insights/scripts/digest-facets.sh"
[ -x "$DIGEST" ] || DIGEST="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)/plugins/cstk/skills/apply-insights/scripts/digest-facets.sh"
"$DIGEST"            # markdown digest on stdout; optional: --top N --samples N

If it prints a digest (non-empty stdout), use it as the primary, data-driven input. The ranked friction_counts + concrete friction_detail samples are the key signal for recommendations (which friction recurs, with examples).

Fallback chain (graceful)

digest-facets.sh exits 0 with empty stdout when jq or the facets dir are absent — so branch on emptiness:

  1. Facets digest non-empty → use it (preferred).
  2. Else read ~/.claude/insights/usage-insights.md (curated; may be stale) — and say so to the user.
  3. Else neither exists → general best practices, explicitly labeled as generic / not data-driven.

What ships with it

2 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.

apply-insights is a skill published in the GitHub repository JotJunior/cstk (23 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 2,289 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
