What's Wrong?

Running /insights produces a report with raw stats (tool counts, response times, languages) but all AI-generated sections show "No data":

  • What You Wanted
  • Session Types
  • What Helped Most
  • Outcomes
  • Primary Friction Types
  • Inferred Satisfaction

Root cause observed: The facets directory referenced in the report (~/.claude/usage-data/facets) is never created. Without per-session facets, the synthesis step has nothing to work from.

Reproduced: Twice in the same session — same result both times. The insights data passed to the report is {}.

Environment:

  • Platform: Windows 11
  • Shell: PowerShell / Git Bash
  • Sessions analyzed: 76 of 80 total
  • Date range: 2026-05-24 to 2026-06-22

What does work: Session-meta files are all present and the stats derived from them (tool usage, line counts, response time histogram, time-of-day breakdown) render correctly in the report.

What Should Happen?

The /insights command should analyze session transcripts, populate the facets directory with per-session AI analysis, and produce a report where all sections contain data — including "What You Wanted", "Outcomes", "Primary Friction Types", and "Inferred Satisfaction".

  3. All AI-generated sections show "No data"
  4. Check ~/.claude/usage-data/ — the facets/ directory is never created
  5. Reproduced twice consecutively with identical results
