# Braintrust Analysis

Braintrust Analysis inspects Claude Code session tracing data in Braintrust to surface tool usage, agent and skill activity, token trends, and repeated loops. Use it for post-task retrospectives, debugging stuck sessions, and weekly productivity reviews.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3/tree/main/.claude/skills/braintrust-analyze ~/.claude/skills/braintrust-analyze
```

## README

# Braintrust Analysis

Analyze your Claude Code sessions for patterns, issues, and insights using Braintrust tracing data.

## When to Use

- After completing a complex task (retrospective)
- When debugging why something failed
- Weekly review of productivity patterns
- Finding opportunities to create new skills
- Understanding token usage trends

## Commands

Run from the project directory:

```bash
# Analyze last session - summary with tool/agent/skill breakdown
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --last-session

# List recent sessions
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --sessions 5

# Agent usage statistics (last 7 days)
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --agent-stats

# Skill usage statistics (last 7 days)
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --skill-stats

# Detect loops - find repeated tool patterns (>5 same tool calls)
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --detect-loops

# Replay specific session - show full sequence of actions
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --replay <session-id>

# Weekly summary - daily activity breakdown
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --weekly-summary

# Token trends - usage over time
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --token-trends
```

## Options

- `--project NAME` - Braintrust project name (default: agentica)

## What You'll Learn

### Session Analysis
- Tool usage breakdown
- Agent spawns (plan-agent, debug-agent, etc.)
- Skill activations (/commit, /research, etc.)
- Token consumption estimates

### Loop Detection
Find sessions where the same tool was called repeatedly, which may indicate:
- Stuck in a search loop
- Inefficient approach
- Opportunity for better tooling

### Usage Patterns
- Which agents you use most
- Which skills get activated
- Daily/weekly activity trends

## Examples

### Quick Retrospective
```bash
# What happened in my last session?
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --last-session
```

Output:
