About this skill

Octocode Stats Dashboard

Generate a local HTML dashboard from Octocode usage stats. The build script owns all parsing, calculations, rendering, and browser-opening behavior; do not reimplement those calculations in chat or another script.

When to Activate

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Show Octocode stats, usage, dashboard, or report
  • Check tokens/chars saved
  • Inspect tool response savings
  • Inspect GitHub cache hits or avoided rate limits
  • Compare raw GitHub/package payload size with the final tool response sent back
  • Review errors, rate limits, or package registry failures
  • Render stats.json or data under ~/.octocode/

Do not use it for session ID lookup, credentials, or unrelated configuration files.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the stats file:

    • ${OCTOCODE_HOME}/stats.json when OCTOCODE_HOME is set
    • ~/.octocode/stats.json otherwise
    • A user-provided path via --stats <path> when explicitly requested
  2. If the stats file is missing, say: No stats yet — run any Octocode MCP tool first, then re-run this skill.

  3. Run the dashboard builder from the repo root:

node skills/octocode-stats/scripts/build_dashboard.mjs

Common flags:

  • --stats <path>: read a non-default stats file
  • --output <path>: write the dashboard somewhere else
  • --no-open: generate without opening the browser
  • --allow-empty: render an empty-state dashboard even when stats are missing
  • --help: print script usage
  1. Report only the useful result:
    • Dashboard path
    • Stats source path
    • Total tool calls
    • Estimated tokens saved
    • GitHub cache hits
    • Errors

If the browser did not open, include a manual open <dashboard-path> command on macOS.

Measurement Notes

  • Token counts are estimates: estimatedTokensSaved = savedChars / 4. Always describe them as approximate.
  • charsSavedByTool is cumulative response-savings data, not a recent activity log and not a complete per-tool call ledger.
  • Tool response savings may exclude zero-savings tools from visual breakdowns, while total measured calls can still include those calls.
  • rawChars, responseChars, and savedChars are measurements from the response pipeline, not a perfect partition where raw = response + saved.
  • responseChars is the final tool response after output pagination; rawChars counts upstream API/command/file payloads that were actually fetched or read.
  • For paginated upstream APIs, only pages that were actually requested are counted. Later pages appear in stats when those tool calls run.
  • Avoid invented comparisons like pages, words, books, or money unless the script explicitly computes them.
