`/stats`: Your Claude Code Contribution Graph

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

Remember the dopamine hit of seeing a fully green GitHub contribution graph? That satisfying visual proof of consistent coding—day after day, commit after commit. It became a badge of honor, a conversation starter, even a hiring signal.

Now there’s a new graph in town. As AI‑assisted development becomes the norm, a different metric matters: how effectively are you leveraging AI in your workflow? Are you using Claude Code consistently? What patterns emerge in your usage? When are you most productive with AI assistance?

Welcome to Day 10 of our 31 Days of Claude Code Features series. Today we’re exploring /stats—your personal dashboard for Claude Code usage. It’s time to see your AI collaboration in vivid color.

The Problem

Using AI tools casually is easy. Using them strategically requires awareness:

• No visibility into patterns: You use Claude Code, but how often? At what times? For which types of tasks? Without data, you’re operating on vibes.
• Unclear ROI: Your company invested in AI tooling, or you’re paying personally. Are you getting value? It’s hard to justify what you can’t measure.
• Missed optimization opportunities: Maybe you’re most effective with Claude in the morning. Maybe certain prompt styles yield better results. Without metrics, these insights remain hidden.
• No celebration of progress: Developers love streaks and achievements. There’s no equivalent satisfaction metric for AI‑assisted development—until now.

We track everything in software development: commits, PRs, deploys, uptime. Why wouldn’t we track our AI collaboration too?

The Solution

The /stats command transforms your Claude Code usage into visual, actionable insights.

How to Use It

Understanding the Metrics

• Usage Heatmap: A GitHub‑style grid showing your Claude Code activity over time. Orange intensity indicates usage level for each day.
• Summary Stats: Quick numbers on sessions, prompts, tokens, and streaks.
• Achievements: Gamified milestones that celebrate your AI‑assisted journey.
• Peak Hours: When you’re most active with Claude Code—useful for understanding your productivity patterns.
• Top Projects: Which repositories or codebases receive the most AI assistance.

Pro Tips

1. Check stats to identify your productive hours

If your peak hours are 9 – 11 AM, schedule your most complex AI‑assisted tasks for that window. Your brain‑Claude synergy is strongest then.

2. Use streaks for motivation

A streak counter creates positive pressure. “I’ve used Claude Code for 12 days straight—can’t break it now!” It encourages consistent integration of AI into your workflow.

3. Share your stats

/stats --export png

Generate a shareable image for Twitter, LinkedIn, or team Slack. It’s the new “look at my contribution graph.”

4. Compare month‑over‑month

/stats --compare last-month

See how your usage is trending. Are you becoming more AI‑native over time?

5. Filter by project

/stats --project my-saas-app

Get focused stats for a specific codebase—great for project retrospectives.

Real‑World Use Case

You’re in a quarterly review with your manager. They ask about productivity improvements and tool adoption. In the past, you’d have vague anecdotes:

“Yeah, I’ve been using Claude Code, it’s helpful.”

Now you pull up:

/stats --period Q4-2024

Q4 2024 Summary:
- 186 sessions across 78 unique days
- 1,247 prompts sent
- Estimated 23 hours saved (based on task complexity)
- Top use cases: debugging (31 %), code generation (29 %), refactoring (22 %)
- Most active project: billing-service (complete rewrite completed 40 % faster)

That’s not a vague anecdote. That’s data. That’s a story of measurable productivity gains. That’s a justification for continued AI investment.

---

Conclusion

In an era where AI‑assisted development is becoming standard, measuring and celebrating that collaboration matters. /stats transforms invisible AI usage into visible achievements, turning vague feelings of productivity into concrete metrics.

The GitHub contribution graph changed how we think about coding consistency. The Claude Code stats dashboard might just change how we think about AI productivity. It gamifies improvement, surfaces insights, and gives you a new way to showcase your modern development practices.

So go ahead—type /stats. See your orange. In 2025, it’s the new green.
