usage-insights

usage-insights is a skill for Claude Code from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,809 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generator for showing users summaries of their own activity, such as streaks, busiest days, top categories, and trends. It can produce dashboards, weekly or yearly recaps, and shareable summaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build usage-statistics pages, personalized insight dashboards, weekly summaries, or a year-in-review screen.
Why use it?
It turns recorded activity into information users can understand and revisit. This is different from analytics sent to a service because the result is displayed back to the user.

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

usage-insights scanned grade A 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 5d 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.

Usage Insights Generator

Generate a production usage insights system that records user activity events with SwiftData, computes personalized insights (streaks, most active day, top categories), and displays them in a dashboard with insight cards, period pickers, trend indicators, and optional shareable recap screens.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

  • Asks to "show usage statistics" or "add usage stats"
  • Wants "user insights" or "activity insights"
  • Mentions "activity summary" or "weekly summary"
  • Asks about a "usage dashboard" or "insights dashboard"
  • Wants a "weekly recap" or "monthly recap"
  • Mentions "year in review" or "year-in-review"
  • Asks for "Spotify Wrapped style" or "Wrapped-style recap"
  • Wants to "show the user their activity" or "personalized stats"

Pre-Generation Checks

1. Project Context Detection

  • Check Swift version (requires Swift 5.9+)
  • Check deployment target (iOS 17+ / macOS 14+ for @Observable and SwiftData)
  • Identify source file locations
  • Check for Swift Charts availability (iOS 16+ / macOS 13+, but recommend iOS 17+)

2. Conflict Detection

Search for existing usage tracking or insights code:

Glob: **/*UsageEvent*.swift, **/*Insight*.swift, **/*Recap*.swift, **/*ActivityLog*.swift
Grep: "UsageEvent" or "InsightCalculator" or "activitySummary" or "SwiftData" and "event"

If existing analytics/tracking found:

  • Ask if user wants to build insights on top of existing event data
  • If yes, adapt InsightCalculator to work with existing models
  • If no, generate fresh event recording alongside existing code

3. Data Layer Detection

Check for SwiftData usage:

Grep: "import SwiftData" or "@Model" or "ModelContainer"

If SwiftData already in use:

  • Integrate UsageEvent into existing ModelContainer
  • Use existing schema migration strategy

If no SwiftData:

  • Generate full setup including ModelContainer configuration

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.
