FAQPage Schema
How do I track Claude Code skill usage across all my projects?

Install the global skill tracker in ~/.claude to automatically log skill invocations, prompts, execution duration, and token usage across all Claude Code projects. The system uses hooks to capture metrics in prompts.jsonl and skill-usage.jsonl files for centralized monitoring.

What metrics does global skill tracking capture?

The tracker logs prompts, skill start and end events, execution duration, token consumption, and session identifiers. These metrics flow into centralized analytics files enabling cross-project pattern analysis, cost tracking, and optimization opportunity identification.

How do I set up and verify the skill tracking system?

Run the installation steps provided in the Skill to deploy hooks under ~/.claude. Verify logs are generating by checking prompts.jsonl and skill-usage.jsonl, then use the included analysis scripts to review tracked metrics and confirm proper hook integration.

Can I use skill tracking to analyze patterns across multiple projects?

Yes. The global hooks capture skill usage uniformly across all Claude Code projects, enabling cross-project pattern analysis. Aggregated logs support identifying automation opportunities, cost trends, and prompt effectiveness across your entire workflow.

What's the best way to monitor token usage and project costs?

The skill tracker logs token metrics per invocation with session correlation, centralizing cost data in skill-usage.jsonl. Use the included analysis scripts to aggregate token consumption across projects and identify high-cost skills for optimization.
