bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/view-metrics.sh

What This Shows

The system automatically tracks metrics for every conversation:

Metrics Tracked:

• Total sessions analyzed
• Average turns per conversation
• Median turns per conversation
• Shortest/longest conversations
• Average/median lines per conversation
• Recent session history

Example Output

📊 Conversation Statistics:
   Total sessions analyzed: 47
   Average turns per conversation: 12.3
   Median turns per conversation: 8.0
   Shortest conversation: 2 turns
   Longest conversation: 45 turns

📝 Volume Statistics:
   Average lines per conversation: 523.4
   Median lines per conversation: 380.0

Interpreting Metrics

Conversation Length:

• Short (< 5 turns): Quick questions or simple tasks
• Medium (5-15 turns): Standard conversations
• Long (15+ turns): Complex tasks or iterative refinement
• Very long (30+ turns): Deep dives or troubleshooting

Trends to Watch:

• Increasing average: More complex tasks or more back-and-forth
• Decreasing average: Better first-time quality or simpler tasks
• High variance: Wide range of conversation types

Volume Indicators:

• High lines/turn: Detailed explanations or large code blocks
• Low lines/turn: Concise communication or quick exchanges

Using Metrics for Improvement

Analyze patterns:

If average turns is increasing:
→ Are initial responses less complete?
→ Do questions need clarification?
→ Is communication unclear?

If conversations are getting longer:
→ More complex tasks (good)
→ Or more confusion (needs improvement)

Set baselines:

Track your metrics over time:
Week 1: 15.2 avg turns
Week 2: 13.8 avg turns (-9%)
Week 3: 12.1 avg turns (-12%)

Improvement! Better first-time responses.
