Description
Running /insights produces a report that is far too short to be useful and doesn't surface any actual patterns from usage.
Steps to reproduce
- Run
/insightsin a session with substantial history (98 sessions analyzed, 862 messages, ~803h logged, spanning 2026-06-16 to 2026-07-27) - Report is generated at
~/.claude/usage-data/report-<timestamp>.html
Expected
A report that surfaces meaningful patterns: most-used skills/projects, time distribution, common workflows, friction points, etc., proportional to the amount of session history available.
Actual
The report's insights payload came back essentially empty:
{}
At-a-glance summary rendered:
109 sessions total · 98 analyzed · 862 messages · 803h · 1 commits
2026-06-16 to 2026-07-27
_No insights generated_
No facets directory was created (~/.claude/usage-data/facets does not exist) despite the command message referencing one.
Environment
- Multiple sessions across several projects (
claude,design-system-ai-utils), heavy skill usage (daily-dashboard, week-review, context-update, pay-triage, etc.) - Re-running the command produced the same empty result on a second attempt (
report-2026-07-27-105704.htmlandreport-2026-07-27-112248.htmlare near-identical in size, both effectively empty of generated insights)
Impact
/insights is unusable for actually understanding usage patterns — it just returns the raw session-count summary line with no analysis body.
