Self Reflect

Self Reflect

A personal productivity tracking tool that aggregates data from GitHub contributions and AI coding agent sessions (Claude Code, Cursor) into a single dashboard.

Purpose

This skill helps developers understand their productivity patterns by:

• Visualizing GitHub contribution trends over time
• Tracking repositories created and contributed to
• Browsing historical conversations with coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor)
• Seeing which projects and branches you've worked on across agents

Quick Start

cd skills/self-reflect

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Collect all data (GitHub + agent sessions)
node scripts/cli.js sync

# Start the dashboard
node scripts/cli.js serve

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

CLI Commands

sync

Collect all data sources at once (GitHub + agents) and backup to the data repo.

node scripts/cli.js sync

If the self-reflect-data repo is cloned as a sibling directory, sync will also:

• Copy agents/sessions.json and github/contributions.json to the data repo
• Backup all Claude project files (CLAUDE.md, settings.json, sessions-index.json)
• Backup all Claude session conversation files (.jsonl) - the raw chat data
• Backup all Cursor session transcript files (.txt)
• Backup the global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

collect github

Fetch GitHub contribution data using the gh CLI.

node scripts/cli.js collect github
node scripts/cli.js collect github --from 2024-01-01 --to 2024-12-31

Options:

• --from YYYY-MM-DD - Start date (default: 1 year ago)
• --to YYYY-MM-DD - End date (default: today)
• --user USERNAME - GitHub username (default: authenticated user)

Requirement: GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated.

collect agents

Collect session data from Claude Code and Cursor.

node scripts/cli.js collect agents

This scans:

• ~/.claude/projects/*/sessions-index.json - Claude Code session metadata
• ~/.cursor/ - Cursor session data (if available)

serve

Start the local dashboard server.

node scripts/cli.js serve
node scripts/cli.js serve --port 8080

Options:

• --port PORT - Port number (default: 3000, auto-increments if busy)

Dashboard Features

Main View

• Stats row: Total contributions, commits, PRs, issues, repos, agent sessions
• Charts: Contribution trends, repos created over time, session activity
• Repos by commits: Which repositories you've contributed to most
• Agent sessions: Clickable list of past agent conversations

Session Viewer Modal

• Conversation display: User messages, assistant responses, tool calls
• Session sidebar: Quick navigation between sessions (right side)
• Tick mark navigation: Quick jump to user messages (top-right corner)
• Keyboard shortcuts:
  • j/k or arrows - Navigate between user messages
  • [/] - Switch between sessions
  • Escape - Close modal

Filters

• Time range: 24h, 7d, 30d, 1y
• Orchestrator filter: Filter sessions by source (conductor, cli, cursor, claude-worktree)

Data Storage

Local Storage

Data is stored in the data/ directory (gitignored):

data/
├── github/
│   └── contributions.json   # GitHub API response with contributions
└── agents/
    └── sessions.json        # Aggregated session metadata

Session conversations are read directly from:

• Claude Code: ~/.claude/projects/*/{sessionId}.jsonl
• Cursor: ~/.cursor/ (conversation files)

Data Repo Backup

For persistent backup, clone seflless/self-reflect-data to ~/dev/:

gh repo clone seflless/self-reflect-data ~/dev/self-reflect-data

When you run sync, it will copy data to:

~/dev/self-reflect-data/
├── CLAUDE.md                    # Global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md backup
├── agents/sessions.json         # Session metadata
├── github/contributions.json    # GitHub data
├── claude-projects/             # Claude Code project backups
│   └── {project-name}/
│       ├── CLAUDE.md            # Project-specific instructions
│       ├── settings.json        # Project settings
│       ├── sessions-index.json  # Session metadata
│       └── sessions/            # Raw conversation data
│           └── {sessionId}.jsonl
└── cursor-projects/             # Cursor project backups
    └── {project-name}/
        └── agent-transcripts/
            └── {sessionId}.txt

Key Technical Details

Session loading: Conversations are loaded on-demand when clicking a session (not pre-loaded). The server reads the JSONL file and parses messages, tool calls, and results.

Tool call parsing: Claude Code stores tool calls as tool_use blocks with matching tool_result blocks. The CLI does a two-pass parse: first collecting results by ID, then building the message stream.

Repo name extraction: The getRepoName() function extracts meaningful folder names from project paths, skipping common directories like Users, workspaces, .agents.

Next Steps / Roadmap

High Priority

• Add Cursor session support (currently only Claude Code works)
• Add session search/filter in the modal
• Show token usage per session if available in the JSONL

Nice to Have

• Export conversation as markdown
• Compare productivity across time periods
• Add user benchmarks (compare against other developers)
• Heatmap visualization for contribution calendar
• Auto-refresh when new sessions are created

Known Issues

• Large sessions (1000+ messages) may be slow to load
• Tool call results can be very long - consider truncating more aggressively
• Branch name may be outdated if it changed during the session

Development

To work on this skill:

1. Start the server in watch mode (manual restart needed for now):

   node scripts/cli.js serve
   

2. Edit web/index.html - it's a single file with inline CSS and JS

3. Refresh browser to see changes

4. The data/ directory is gitignored - run sync to populate it on a fresh clone
