## Data Storage
All processed data is stored locally in `.processed/` (gitignored):
### SQLite Database (`conversations.db`)
**Tables:**
- `conversations`: Main metadata (timestamps, messages, topics)
- `file_interactions`: File-level interactions (read, write, edit)
- `tool_usage`: Tool usage counts per conversation
- `processing_state`: Tracks processed files for incremental updates
**Indexes:**
- `idx_timestamp`: Fast date-range queries
- `idx_project`: Filter by project
- `idx_file_path`: File-based searches
- `idx_tool_name`: Tool usage queries
### ChromaDB Vector Store (`embeddings/`)
**Contents:**
- Vector embeddings (384-dimensional by default)
- Document text for retrieval
- Metadata for filtering
- HNSW index for fast similarity search
**Performance:**
- <1 second for semantic search
- Handles 10,000+ conversations efficiently
- ~100MB per 1,000 conversations
## Performance
| Operation | Time | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| Initial processing (100 convs) | ~30s | One-time setup |
| Initial indexing (100 convs) | ~60s | One-time setup |
| Incremental processing | <5s | Only new conversations |
| Semantic search | <1s | Top 10 results |
| Keyword search | <0.1s | SQLite FTS |
| Weekly report generation | <10s | Includes visualizations |
## Troubleshooting
### "Database not found"
**Problem:** Scripts can't find `conversations.db`
**Solution:**
```bash
# Run processor first
python scripts/conversation-processor.py --project-name annex --verbose
```
### "No conversations found"
**Problem:** Project name doesn't match or no JSONL files
**Solution:**
```bash
# Check project directories
ls ~/.claude/projects/
# Use correct project name (may be encoded)
python scripts/conversation-processor.py --project-name [actual-name] --verbose
```
### "ImportError: sentence_transformers"
**Problem:** Dependencies not installed
**Solution:**
```bash
# Install requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Or individually
pip install sentence-transformers chromadb jinja2 click python-dateutil
```
### "Slow embedding generation"
**Problem:** Large number of conversations
**Solution:**
```bash
# Use smaller batch size
python scripts/rag-indexer.py --batch-size 16
# Or use faster model (lower quality)
python scripts/rag-indexer.py --model all-MiniLM-L6-v2
```
### "Out of memory"
**Problem:** Too many conversations processed at once
**Solution:**
```bash
# Smaller batch size
python scripts/rag-indexer.py --batch-size 8
# Or process in chunks by date
python scripts/conversation-processor.py --date-from 2025-10-01 --date-to 2025-10-15
```
## Incremental Updates
The system automatically handles incremental updates:
1. **Conversation Processor**: Tracks file hashes in `processing_state` table
- Only reprocesses changed files
- Detects new JSONL files automatically
2. **RAG Indexer**: Checks ChromaDB for existing IDs
- Only indexes new conversations
- Skips already-embedded conversations
**Recommended workflow:**
```bash
# Daily/weekly: Run both for new conversations
python scripts/conversation-processor.py --project-name annex
python scripts/rag-indexer.py
# Takes <5s if only a few new conversations
```
## Integration Examples
### Search from command line
```bash
# Quick search function in .bashrc or .zshrc
cc-search() {
python ~/.claude/skills/cc-insights/scripts/search-conversations.py "$@"
}
# Usage
cc-search "authentication bugs"
```
### Generate weekly report automatically
```bash
# Add to crontab for weekly reports
0 9 * * MON cd ~/.claude/skills/cc-insights && python scripts/insight-generator.py weekly --output ~/reports/weekly-$(date +\%Y-\%m-\%d).md
```
### Export data for external tools
```bash
# Export to JSON
python scripts/search-conversations.py "testing" --format json | jq
# Export metadata
sqlite3 .processed/conversations.db "SELECT * FROM conversations" -json > export.json
```
## Privacy & Security
- **Local-only**: All data stays on your machine
- **No external APIs**: Embeddings generated locally
- **Project-scoped**: Only accesses current project
- **Gitignored**: `.processed/` excluded from version control
- **Sensitive data**: Review before sharing reports (may contain secrets)
## Requirements
### Python Dependencies
- `sentence-transformers>=2.2.0` - Semantic embeddings
- `chromadb>=0.4.0` - Vector database
- `jinja2>=3.1.0` - Template engine
- `click>=8.1.0` - CLI framework
- `python-dateutil>=2.8.0` - Date utilities
### System Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- 500MB disk space (for 1,000 conversations)
- 2GB RAM (for embedding generation)
## Limitations
- **Read-only**: Analyzes existing conversations, doesn't modify them
- **Single project**: Designed for per-project insights (not cross-project)
- **Static analysis**: Analyzes saved conversations, not real-time
- **Embedding quality**: Good but not GPT-4 level (local models)
- **JSONL format**: Depends on Claude Code's internal storage format
## Future Enhancements
Potential additions (not currently implemented):
- [ ] Cross-project analytics dashboard
- [ ] AI-powered summarization with LLM
- [ ] Slack/Discord integration for weekly reports
- [ ] Git commit correlation
- [ ] VS Code extension
- [ ] Web dashboard (Next.js)
- [ ] Confluence/Notion export
- [ ] Custom embedding models
## FAQ
**Q: How often should I rebuild the index?**
A: Never, unless changing models. Use incremental updates.
**Q: Can I change the embedding model?**
A: Yes, use `--model` flag with rag-indexer.py, then `--rebuild`.
**Q: Does this work with incognito mode?**
A: No, incognito conversations aren't saved to JSONL files.
**Q: Can I share reports with my team?**
A: Yes, but review for sensitive information first (API keys, secrets).
**Q: What if Claude Code changes the JSONL format?**
A: The processor may need updates. File an issue if parsing breaks.
**Q: Can I delete old conversations?**
A: Yes, remove JSONL files and run `--reindex` to rebuild.

# Troubleshooting Guide
## No conversations found
**Symptoms**: Skill reports 0 conversations
**Solution**:
1. Verify you're in a project with conversation history
2. Check `~/.claude/projects/` for your project folder
3. Ensure JSONL files exist in the project folder
4. Run initial processing if first time
---
## Search returns no results
**Symptoms**: Semantic search finds nothing
**Solution**:
1. Check embeddings were built (look for ChromaDB folder)
2. Rebuild embeddings: skill will do this automatically
3. Try broader search terms
4. Use metadata search for specific files
---
## Dashboard won't start
**Symptoms**: Error when launching dashboard
**Solution**:
1. Check Node.js is installed (v18+)
2. Run `npm install` in dashboard directory
3. Check port 3000 is available
4. Kill existing processes: `lsof -i :3000`
---
## Slow processing
**Symptoms**: Initial setup takes very long
**Solution**:
1. First-time embedding creation is slow (1-2 min normal)
2. Subsequent runs use incremental updates (fast)
3. For very large history, consider limiting date range
---
## Missing dependencies
**Symptoms**: Import errors when running
**Solution**:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Required packages:
- sentence-transformers
- chromadb
- sqlite3 (built-in)
---
## Embeddings out of date
**Symptoms**: New conversations not appearing in search
**Solution**:
1. Skill automatically updates on each use
2. Force rebuild: delete ChromaDB folder and rerun
3. Check incremental processing completed
---
## Database locked
**Symptoms**: SQLite errors about locked database
**Solution**:
1. Close other processes using the database
2. Close the dashboard if running
3. Wait a moment and retry

# CLAUDE.md Auditor
> Comprehensive validation and optimization tool for CLAUDE.md memory files in Claude Code
An Anthropic Skill that analyzes CLAUDE.md configuration files against **official Anthropic documentation**, **community best practices**, and **academic research** on LLM context optimization.
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
[![Python](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.8+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
[![Status](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-stable-green.svg)]()
---
## Quick Start
### With Claude Code (Recommended)
```bash
# 1. Copy skill to your skills directory
cp -r claude-md-auditor ~/.claude/skills/
# 2. Use in Claude Code
claude
> Audit my CLAUDE.md using the claude-md-auditor skill
```
### Direct Script Usage
```bash
# Markdown audit report
python claude-md-auditor/scripts/analyzer.py ./CLAUDE.md
# JSON report (for CI/CD)
python claude-md-auditor/scripts/report_generator.py ./CLAUDE.md json > audit.json
# Generate refactored CLAUDE.md
python claude-md-auditor/scripts/report_generator.py ./CLAUDE.md refactored > CLAUDE_refactored.md
```
---
## What Does It Do?
### Validates Against Three Sources
| Source | Authority | Examples |
|--------|-----------|----------|
| **✅ Official Anthropic Docs** | Highest | Memory hierarchy, import syntax, "keep them lean" |
| **💡 Community Best Practices** | Medium | 100-300 line target, 80/20 rule, maintenance cadence |
| **🔬 Academic Research** | Medium | "Lost in the middle" positioning, token optimization |
### Detects Issues
- **🚨 CRITICAL**: Secrets (API keys, passwords), security vulnerabilities
- **⚠️ HIGH**: Generic content, excessive verbosity, vague instructions
- **📋 MEDIUM**: Outdated info, broken links, duplicate sections
- ** LOW**: Formatting issues, organizational improvements
### Generates Output
1. **Markdown Report**: Human-readable audit with detailed findings
2. **JSON Report**: Machine-readable for CI/CD integration
3. **Refactored CLAUDE.md**: Production-ready improved version
---
## Features
### 🔒 Security Validation (CRITICAL)
Detects exposed secrets using pattern matching:
- API keys (OpenAI, AWS, generic)
- Tokens and passwords
- Database connection strings
- Private keys (PEM format)
- Internal IP addresses
**Why Critical**: CLAUDE.md files are often committed to git. Exposed secrets can leak through history, PRs, logs, or backups.
### ✅ Official Compliance
Validates against [docs.claude.com](https://docs.claude.com) guidance:
- File length ("keep them lean")
- Generic content (Claude already knows basic programming)
- Import syntax (`@path/to/import`, max 5 hops)
- Vague instructions (specific vs. ambiguous)
- Proper markdown structure
### 💡 Best Practices
Evaluates community recommendations:
- Optimal file length (100-300 lines)
- Token usage (< 3,000 tokens / <2% of 200K context)
- Organization (sections, headers, priority markers)
- Maintenance (update dates, version info)
- Duplicate or conflicting content
### 🔬 Research Optimization
Applies academic insights:
- **"Lost in the Middle"** positioning (critical info at top/bottom)
- Token efficiency and context utilization
- Chunking and information architecture
- Attention pattern optimization
**Based On**:
- "Lost in the Middle" (Liu et al., 2023, TACL)
- Claude-specific performance studies
- Context awareness research (MIT/Google Cloud AI, 2024)

---
## Usage
### Basic Audit
**With Claude Code**:
```
Audit my CLAUDE.md using the claude-md-auditor skill.
```
**Direct**:
```bash
python scripts/analyzer.py ./CLAUDE.md
```
**Output**:
```
============================================================
CLAUDE.md Audit Results: ./CLAUDE.md
============================================================
Overall Health Score: 78/100
Security Score: 100/100
Official Compliance Score: 75/100
Best Practices Score: 70/100
Research Optimization Score: 85/100
============================================================
Findings Summary:
🚨 Critical: 0
⚠️ High: 2
📋 Medium: 3
Low: 5
============================================================
```
### Generate JSON Report
**For CI/CD Integration**:
```bash
python scripts/report_generator.py ./CLAUDE.md json > audit.json
```
**Example Output**:
```json
{
"metadata": {
"file": "./CLAUDE.md",
"generated_at": "2025-10-26 10:30:00",

---
## Real-World Examples
### Example 1: Security Violation
**Before** (Anti-Pattern):
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
## API Configuration
- API Key: sk-1234567890abcdefghijklmnop
- Database: postgres://admin:pass@10.0.1.42/db
```
**Audit Finding**:
```
🚨 CRITICAL: API Key Detected
Line: 4
Impact: Security breach risk. Secrets exposed in git history.
Remediation:
1. Remove the API key immediately
2. Rotate the compromised credential
3. Use environment variables (.env file)
4. Clean git history if committed
```
**After** (Fixed):
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
## API Configuration
- API keys: Stored in .env (see .env.example for template)
- Database: Use AWS Secrets Manager connection string
- Access: Contact team lead for credentials
```
### Example 2: Generic Content
**Before** (Anti-Pattern):
```markdown
## React Best Practices
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
It was created by Facebook in 2013. React uses a virtual
DOM for efficient updates...
[200 lines of React documentation]
```
**Audit Finding**:
```
⚠️ HIGH: Generic Programming Content Detected
Impact: Wastes context window. Claude already knows React basics.
Remediation: Remove generic content. Focus on project-specific patterns.
```
**After** (Fixed):
```markdown
## React Standards (Project-Specific)
- Functional components only (no class components)
- Custom hooks location: /src/hooks
- Co-location pattern: Component + test + styles in same directory
- Props interface naming: [ComponentName]Props
```
### Example 3: Optimal Structure
**Generated Refactored File**:
```markdown
# MyApp
## 🚨 CRITICAL: Must-Follow Standards
<!-- Top position = highest attention -->
- Security: Never commit secrets to git
- TypeScript strict mode: No `any` types
- Testing: 80% coverage on all new code
## 📋 Project Overview
**Tech Stack**: React, TypeScript, Vite, PostgreSQL
**Architecture**: Feature-based modules, clean architecture
**Purpose**: Enterprise CRM system
## 🔧 Development Workflow
### Git
- Branches: `feature/{name}`, `bugfix/{name}`
- Commits: Conventional format required
- PRs: Tests + review + passing CI
## 📝 Code Standards
[Project-specific rules here]
## 📌 REFERENCE: Common Tasks
<!-- Bottom position = recency attention -->
```bash
npm run build # Build production
npm test # Run tests
npm run deploy # Deploy to staging
```
### Key Files
- Config: `/config/app.config.ts`
- Types: `/src/types/index.ts`
```

## FAQ
### Q: Will this skill automatically fix my CLAUDE.md?
**A**: No, but it can generate a refactored version. You need to review and apply changes manually to ensure they fit your project.
### Q: Are all recommendations mandatory?
**A**: No. Check the **source** field:
- **Official**: Follow Anthropic documentation (highest priority)
- **Community**: Recommended best practices (flexible)
- **Research**: Evidence-based optimizations (optional)
### Q: What if I disagree with a finding?
**A**: That's okay! Best practices are guidelines, not requirements. Official guidance should be followed, but community and research recommendations can be adapted to your context.
### Q: How often should I audit CLAUDE.md?
**A**:
- **On every change**: Before committing (use pre-commit hook)
- **Quarterly**: Regular maintenance audit
- **Before major releases**: Ensure standards are up-to-date
- **When onboarding**: Validate project configuration
### Q: Can I use this in my CI/CD pipeline?
**A**: Yes! Use JSON output mode and check for critical findings. Example provided in CI/CD Integration section.
### Q: Does this validate that Claude actually follows the standards?
**A**: No, this only validates the CLAUDE.md structure and content. To test effectiveness, start a new Claude session and verify standards are followed without re-stating them.

- ❌ Determine if standards are appropriate for your project
### Known Issues
- Import depth validation (max 5 hops) not yet implemented
- Circular import detection not yet implemented
- Cannot read contents of imported files for validation
---
## Roadmap
### v1.1 (Planned)
- [ ] Import graph traversal (detect circular imports)
- [ ] Import depth validation (max 5 hops)
- [ ] Content validation of imported files
- [ ] Interactive CLI for guided fixes
- [ ] HTML dashboard report format
### v1.2 (Planned)
- [ ] Effectiveness testing (test if Claude follows standards)
- [ ] Diff mode (compare before/after audits)
- [ ] Metrics tracking over time
- [ ] Custom rule definitions
- [ ] Integration with popular IDEs

# CLAUDE.md Anti-Patterns
Catalog of common mistakes organized by severity.
## Critical Violations (Fix Immediately)
### Exposed Secrets
```markdown
# BAD - Never do this
API_KEY=sk-abc123...
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@host:5432/db
```
**Detection patterns**:
- `password`, `secret`, `token`, `api_key`
- `postgres://`, `mysql://`, `mongodb://`
- `-----BEGIN.*PRIVATE KEY-----`
- `sk-`, `pk_`, `AKIA` (API key prefixes)
**Fix**: Remove immediately, rotate credentials, clean git history
### Exposed Infrastructure
```markdown
# BAD
Internal API: http://192.168.1.100:8080
Database: 10.0.0.50:5432
```
**Fix**: Use environment variables or secrets management
## High Severity (Fix This Sprint)
### Generic Content
```markdown
# BAD - Claude already knows this
## JavaScript Best Practices
- Use const instead of var
- Prefer arrow functions
- Use async/await over callbacks
```
**Fix**: Remove generic content, keep only project-specific deviations
### Excessive Verbosity
```markdown
# BAD - Too wordy
When you are writing code for this project, it is important that you
remember to always consider the implications of your changes and how
they might affect other parts of the system...
```
**Fix**: Be direct and concise
```markdown
# GOOD
Check integration test impacts before modifying shared utilities.
```
### Vague Instructions
```markdown
# BAD
Write good, clean code following best practices.
```
**Fix**: Be specific
```markdown
# GOOD
- Max function length: 50 lines
- Max file length: 300 lines
- All public functions need JSDoc
```
### Conflicting Guidance
```markdown
# BAD - Contradictory
## Testing
Always write tests first (TDD).
## Development Speed
Skip tests for quick prototypes.
```
**Fix**: Resolve conflicts, specify when each applies
## Medium Severity (Schedule for Next Quarter)
### Outdated Information
```markdown
# BAD
Run: npm run test (uses Jest) # Actually switched to Vitest 6 months ago
```
**Fix**: Regular audits, add last-updated dates
### Duplicated Content
```markdown
# BAD - Same info twice
## Build Commands
npm run build
## Getting Started
Run `npm run build` to build the project.
```
**Fix**: Single source of truth, reference don't repeat
### Missing Context
```markdown
# BAD - Why this pattern?
Always use repository pattern for data access.
```
**Fix**: Explain reasoning
```markdown
# GOOD
Use repository pattern for data access (enables testing with mocks,
required for our caching layer).
```
### Broken Import Paths
```markdown
# BAD
@docs/old-standards.md # File was moved/deleted
```
**Fix**: Validate imports exist, update or remove stale references
## Low Severity (Backlog)
### Poor Organization
```markdown
# BAD - No structure
Here's how to build. npm run build. Tests use vitest. We use TypeScript.
The API is REST. Database is Postgres. Deploy with Docker.
```
**Fix**: Use headers, lists, logical grouping
### Inconsistent Formatting
```markdown
# BAD - Mixed styles
## Build Commands
- npm run build
## Testing
Run `npm test` for unit tests
npm run test:e2e runs e2e tests
```
**Fix**: Consistent formatting throughout
### Missing Priority Markers
```markdown
# BAD - What's critical vs nice-to-have?
Use TypeScript strict mode.
Add JSDoc to public functions.
Never use any type.
Format with Prettier.
```
**Fix**: Add priority markers
```markdown
# GOOD
**CRITICAL**: Never use `any` type
**IMPORTANT**: TypeScript strict mode enabled
**RECOMMENDED**: JSDoc on public functions
```
## Structural Anti-Patterns
### Circular Imports
```
CLAUDE.md -> @a.md -> @b.md -> @CLAUDE.md # Infinite loop
```
**Fix**: Flatten structure, avoid circular references
### Deep Nesting
```
CLAUDE.md -> @a.md -> @b.md -> @c.md -> @d.md -> @e.md # 5 hops max!
```
**Fix**: Maximum 3 levels recommended, 5 is hard limit
### Monolithic Files
```markdown
# BAD - 800 lines in one file
[Everything crammed together]
```
**Fix**: Split into imports by category
```markdown
# GOOD
@standards/typescript.md
@standards/testing.md
@patterns/api.md
```
## Detection Commands
```bash
# Check for secrets
grep -rE "password|secret|token|api_key" CLAUDE.md
# Check file length
wc -l CLAUDE.md # Should be < 300
# Check for broken imports
grep "^@" CLAUDE.md | while read import; do
path="${import#@}"
[ ! -f "$path" ] && echo "Broken: $import"
done
# Check for vague words
grep -iE "good|clean|proper|best|appropriate" CLAUDE.md

# CLAUDE.md Anti-Patterns and Common Mistakes
> **Purpose**: Catalog of common mistakes, violations, and anti-patterns to avoid when creating CLAUDE.md files
This document identifies problematic patterns frequently found in CLAUDE.md files, explains why they're problematic, and provides better alternatives.
---
## Critical Violations (Security & Safety)
### 🚨 CRITICAL-01: Secrets in Memory Files
#### Problem
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
## API Configuration
- API Key: sk-1234567890abcdefghijklmnop
- Database Password: MySecretPassword123
- AWS Secret: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
```
#### Why It's Dangerous
- ❌ CLAUDE.md files are typically committed to source control
- ❌ Exposes credentials to entire team and git history
- ❌ Can leak through PR comments, logs, or backups
- ❌ Violates security best practices
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
## API Configuration
- API keys stored in: .env (see .env.example for template)
- Database credentials: Use AWS Secrets Manager
- AWS credentials: Use IAM roles, never hardcode
## Environment Variables Required
- API_KEY (get from team lead)
- DB_PASSWORD (from 1Password vault)
- AWS_REGION (default: us-east-1)
```
**Severity**: CRITICAL
**Action**: Immediate removal + git history cleanup + key rotation
---
### 🚨 CRITICAL-02: Exposed Internal URLs/IPs
#### Problem
```markdown
## Production Servers
- Production Database: postgres://admin:pass@10.0.1.42:5432/proddb
- Internal API: https://internal-api.company.net/v1
- Admin Panel: https://admin.company.net (password: admin123)
```
#### Why It's Dangerous
- ❌ Exposes internal infrastructure
- ❌ Provides attack surface information
- ❌ May violate security policies
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
## Production Access
- Database: Use connection string from AWS Parameter Store
- API: See deployment documentation (requires VPN)
- Admin Panel: Contact DevOps for access (SSO required)
```
**Severity**: CRITICAL
**Action**: Remove immediately + security review
---
## High-Severity Issues
### ⚠️ HIGH-01: Generic Programming Advice
#### Problem
```markdown
## React Best Practices
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It was created
by Facebook in 2013. React uses a virtual DOM for efficient updates.
### What is a Component?
A component is a reusable piece of UI. Components can be class-based or
functional. Functional components are preferred in modern React...
[200 lines of React documentation]
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Wastes context window space
- ❌ Claude already knows this information
- ❌ Not project-specific
- ❌ Duplicates official documentation
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
## React Standards (Project-Specific)
- Use functional components only (no class components)
- Custom hooks in: /src/hooks
- Component co-location pattern: Component + test + styles in same directory
- Props interface naming: [ComponentName]Props
Example:
/src/features/auth/LoginForm/
├── LoginForm.tsx
├── LoginForm.test.tsx
├── LoginForm.styles.ts
└── index.ts
```
**Severity**: HIGH
**Action**: Remove generic content, keep only project-specific standards
---
### ⚠️ HIGH-02: Excessive Verbosity
#### Problem
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md (1,200 lines)
## Introduction
Welcome to our project. This document contains comprehensive information...
[50 lines of introduction]
## History
This project started in 2019 when our founder...
[100 lines of history]
## Git Basics
To use git, first you need to understand version control...
[200 lines of git tutorial]
## TypeScript Fundamentals
TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript...
[300 lines of TypeScript basics]
[500 more lines of generic information]
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Consumes excessive context (> 18,000 tokens ≈ 9% of 200K window)
- ❌ "Lost in the middle" degradation
- ❌ Difficult to maintain
- ❌ Hard to find relevant information
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md (250 lines)
## Project: MyApp
Enterprise CRM built with React + TypeScript + PostgreSQL
## CRITICAL STANDARDS
[20 lines of must-follow rules]
## Architecture
[30 lines of project-specific architecture]
## Development Workflow
[40 lines of team process]
## Code Standards
[50 lines of project-specific rules]
## Common Tasks
[40 lines of commands and workflows]
## Detailed Documentation (Imports)
@docs/architecture.md
@docs/git-workflow.md
@docs/typescript-conventions.md
```
**Severity**: HIGH
**Action**: Reduce to < 300 lines, use imports for detailed docs
---
### ⚠️ HIGH-03: Vague or Ambiguous Instructions
#### Problem
```markdown
## Code Quality
- Write good code
- Make it clean
- Follow best practices
- Be consistent
- Keep it simple
- Don't be clever
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Not actionable
- ❌ Subjective interpretation
- ❌ Doesn't provide measurable criteria
- ❌ Claude won't know what "good" means in your context
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
## Code Quality Standards (Measurable)
- Function length: Maximum 50 lines (warning) / 100 lines (error)
- Cyclomatic complexity: Maximum 10 (warning) / 20 (error)
- Test coverage: Minimum 80% for new code
- No `console.log` in src/ directory (use /src/lib/logger.ts)
- No `any` types (use `unknown` if type truly unknown)
- TypeScript strict mode: Enabled (no opt-outs)
```
**Severity**: HIGH
**Action**: Replace vague advice with specific, measurable standards
---
## Medium-Severity Issues
### ⚠️ MEDIUM-01: Outdated Information
#### Problem
```markdown
## Build Process
- Use Webpack 4 for bundling
- Node 12 required
- Run tests with Jest 25
## Deployment
- Deploy to Heroku using git push
- Use MongoDB 3.6
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Misleads developers
- ❌ May cause build failures
- ❌ Indicates unmaintained documentation
- ❌ Conflicts with actual setup
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
## Build Process (Updated 2025-10-26)
- Vite 5.0 for bundling (migrated from Webpack)
- Node 20 LTS required
- Run tests with Vitest 2.0
## Deployment (Updated 2025-10-26)
- Deploy to AWS ECS using GitHub Actions
- Use PostgreSQL 16
## Update History
- 2025-10-26: Migrated to Vite, PostgreSQL
- 2024-05-15: Upgraded to Node 20
```
**Severity**: MEDIUM
**Action**: Regular audits, include update dates
---
### ⚠️ MEDIUM-02: Duplicate or Conflicting Information
#### Problem
```markdown
## Code Style (Line 50)
- Use 2-space indentation
- Prefer single quotes
## TypeScript Standards (Line 150)
- Use 4-space indentation
- Prefer double quotes
## React Guidelines (Line 250)
- Indentation: Use tabs
- Quotes: Use backticks for strings
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Conflicting instructions
- ❌ Claude may follow the wrong standard
- ❌ Team confusion
- ❌ Indicates poor maintenance
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
## Code Style (Single Source of Truth)
### Formatting (Enforced by Prettier)
- Indentation: 2 spaces
- Quotes: Single quotes for strings, backticks for templates
- Line length: 100 characters
- Trailing commas: Always
### Config Location
- .prettierrc.json (root directory)
- Auto-format on save (VS Code: editor.formatOnSave)
```
**Severity**: MEDIUM
**Action**: Consolidate all style rules in one section
---
### ⚠️ MEDIUM-03: Missing Context for Standards
#### Problem
```markdown
## Standards
- Never use `useState` hook
- All API calls must use POST method
- No files over 200 lines
- Must use Redux for all state
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Standards seem arbitrary without context
- ❌ May be outdated after architecture changes
- ❌ Hard to question or update
- ❌ New team members don't understand "why"
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
## State Management Standards
### useState Hook (Avoid for Complex State)
- ❌ DON'T: Use useState for complex/shared state
- ✅ DO: Use useState for simple local UI state (toggles, input values)
- ✅ DO: Use Zustand for shared application state
- WHY: useState causes prop drilling; Zustand avoids this
### API Call Methods
- Use POST for: Mutations, large request bodies
- Use GET for: Queries, cached responses
- WHY: RESTful conventions, better caching
### File Length (Soft Limit: 200 Lines)
- Preference: Keep files under 200 lines
- Exception: Generated files, large data structures
- WHY: Maintainability, easier code review
```
**Severity**: MEDIUM
**Action**: Add context/rationale for standards
---
## Low-Severity Issues
### ⚠️ LOW-01: Poor Organization
#### Problem
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
Random information...
## Testing
More random stuff...
### Security
Back to testing...
## API
### More Security
## Testing Again
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Hard to navigate
- ❌ Information scattered
- ❌ Difficult to maintain
- ❌ Poor user experience
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
# Project Name
## 1. CRITICAL STANDARDS
[Must-follow rules]
## 2. PROJECT OVERVIEW
[Context and architecture]
## 3. DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOW
[Git, PRs, deployment]
## 4. CODE STANDARDS
[Language/framework specific]
## 5. TESTING REQUIREMENTS
[Coverage, strategies]
## 6. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
[Authentication, data protection]
## 7. COMMON TASKS
[Commands, workflows]
## 8. REFERENCE
[File locations, links]
```
**Severity**: LOW
**Action**: Reorganize with clear hierarchy
---
### ⚠️ LOW-02: Broken Links and Paths
#### Problem
```markdown
## Documentation
- See architecture docs: /docs/arch.md (404)
- Import types from: /src/old-types/index.ts (moved)
- Run deploy script: ./scripts/deploy.sh (deleted)
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Misleads developers
- ❌ Causes frustration
- ❌ Indicates stale documentation
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
## Documentation (Verified 2025-10-26)
- Architecture: /docs/architecture/system-design.md ✅
- Types: /src/types/index.ts ✅
- Deployment: npm run deploy (see package.json scripts) ✅
## Validation
Links verified: 2025-10-26
Next check: 2026-01-26
```
**Severity**: LOW
**Action**: Periodic validation, date stamps
---
### ⚠️ LOW-03: Inconsistent Formatting
#### Problem
```markdown
## Code Standards
some bullet points without dashes
* Others with asterisks
- Some with dashes
- Inconsistent indentation
* Mixed styles
Headers in Title Case
Headers in sentence case
Headers in SCREAMING CASE
```
#### Why It's Problematic
- ❌ Unprofessional appearance
- ❌ Harder to parse
- ❌ May affect rendering
- ❌ Poor user experience
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
## Code Standards
### Formatting Rules
- Consistent bullet style (dashes)
- 2-space indentation for nested lists
- Title Case for H2 headers
- Sentence case for H3 headers
### Example List
- First item
- Nested item A
- Nested item B
- Second item
- Nested item C
```
**Severity**: LOW
**Action**: Adopt consistent markdown style guide
---
## Structural Anti-Patterns
### 📋 STRUCTURE-01: No Section Hierarchy
#### Problem
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
Everything at the top level
No organization
No hierarchy
Just a wall of text
```
#### Correct Approach
```markdown
# Project Name
## Section 1
### Subsection 1.1
### Subsection 1.2
## Section 2
### Subsection 2.1
```
---
### 📋 STRUCTURE-02: Circular Imports
#### Problem
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
@docs/standards.md
# docs/standards.md
@docs/guidelines.md
# docs/guidelines.md
@CLAUDE.md
```
#### Correct Approach
- Maintain acyclic import graph
- Use unidirectional imports
- CLAUDE.md → detailed docs (not reverse)
---
### 📋 STRUCTURE-03: Deep Import Nesting
#### Problem
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
@docs/level1.md
@docs/level2.md
@docs/level3.md
@docs/level4.md
@docs/level5.md
@docs/level6.md (exceeds 5-hop limit)
```
#### Correct Approach
- Maximum 5 import hops
- Flatten structure when possible
- Use fewer, comprehensive documents
---

# Community Best Practices
Field-tested recommendations from practitioners. These are suggestions, not requirements.
## Size Recommendations
### Target Range
- **Optimal**: 100-300 lines
- **Acceptable**: Up to 500 lines with @imports
- **Warning**: > 500 lines indicates need for splitting
### Token Budget
- **Recommended**: < 3,000 tokens
- **Maximum**: 5,000 tokens before significant context cost
- **Measure**: Use `wc -w` as rough estimate (tokens ≈ words × 1.3)
## Content Organization
### 80/20 Rule
- 80% essential, immediately-applicable guidance
- 20% supporting context and edge cases
### Section Priority
1. **Critical** (MUST follow): Security, breaking patterns
2. **Important** (SHOULD follow): Core standards, conventions
3. **Recommended** (COULD follow): Optimizations, preferences
### Header Hierarchy
```markdown
# Project Name
## Build Commands (most used first)
## Architecture Overview
## Coding Standards
## Testing Requirements
## Common Patterns
```
## Import Strategies
### When to Import
- Detailed documentation > 50 lines
- Shared standards across projects
- Frequently updated content
### Import Organization
```markdown
## Core Standards
@standards/typescript.md
@standards/testing.md
## Project-Specific
@docs/architecture.md
@docs/api-patterns.md
```
## Version Control Practices
### Commit Discipline
- Commit CLAUDE.md changes separately
- Use descriptive messages: "docs: update testing standards in CLAUDE.md"
- Review in PRs like any other code
### Change Tracking
```markdown
---
**Last Updated**: 2025-10-26
**Version**: 1.2.0
**Changes**: Added memory retrieval patterns
---
```
## Maintenance Cadence
### Regular Reviews
- **Weekly**: Check for outdated commands
- **Monthly**: Review against actual practices
- **Quarterly**: Full audit and optimization
### Staleness Indicators
- Commands that no longer work
- References to removed files
- Outdated dependency versions
- Patterns no longer used
## Multi-Project Strategies
### Shared Base
```
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md # Personal defaults
~/.claude/standards/ # Shared standards
├── typescript.md
├── testing.md
└── security.md
```
### Project Override
```markdown
# Project CLAUDE.md
## Override user defaults
@~/.claude/standards/typescript.md
## Project-specific additions
...
```
## Anti-Pattern Avoidance
### Don't Duplicate
- If it's in official docs, don't repeat it
- If it's in your codebase comments, reference don't copy
### Don't Over-Specify
- Trust Claude's knowledge
- Focus on YOUR project's quirks
- Specify deviations from standards, not standards themselves
### Don't Neglect Updates
- Outdated CLAUDE.md is worse than none
- Schedule regular maintenance
- Delete rather than leave stale

# Community Best Practices for CLAUDE.md Configuration
> **Source**: Community wisdom, practitioner experience, and field-tested recommendations (not official Anthropic guidance)
This document contains best practices derived from the Claude Code community, real-world usage, and practical experience. While not officially mandated by Anthropic, these practices have proven effective across many projects.
---
## Size Recommendations
### Target Length: 100-300 Lines
**Rationale**:
- Represents approximately 1,500-4,500 tokens
- Accounts for roughly 1-2.5% of a 200K context window
- Small enough to avoid attention issues
- Large enough to be comprehensive
- Balances detail with context efficiency
**Community Consensus**:
-**Under 100 lines**: Potentially too sparse, may miss important context
-**100-300 lines**: Sweet spot for most projects
- ⚠️ **300-500 lines**: Acceptable for complex projects, but consider splitting
-**Over 500 lines**: Too verbose, consider using imports
**Note**: This is community-derived guidance, not an official Anthropic recommendation. Official guidance simply says "keep them lean."
### Token Budget Analysis
| CLAUDE.md Size | Tokens | % of 200K Context | Recommendation |
|----------------|--------|-------------------|----------------|
| 50 lines | ~750 | 0.4% | Too sparse |
| 100 lines | ~1,500 | 0.75% | Minimum viable |
| 200 lines | ~3,000 | 1.5% | Ideal |
| 300 lines | ~4,500 | 2.25% | Maximum recommended |
| 500 lines | ~7,500 | 3.75% | Consider splitting |
| 1000 lines | ~15,000 | 7.5% | Excessive |
---
## Content Organization
### Priority Positioning Strategy
Based on LLM research (not official Anthropic guidance), organize content by priority:
#### TOP Section (Highest Attention)
Place **mission-critical** standards here:
```markdown
# CRITICAL STANDARDS
## Security Requirements (MUST FOLLOW)
- Never commit secrets or API keys
- All authentication must use MFA
- Input validation required for all user inputs
## Code Quality Gates (MUST PASS)
- TypeScript strict mode enforced
- 80% test coverage minimum before PR merge
- No console.log in production code
```
#### MIDDLE Section (Lower Attention)
Place **nice-to-have** context and supporting information:
```markdown
## Nice-to-Have Practices
- Prefer functional components over class components
- Use meaningful variable names
- Keep functions under 50 lines when possible
```
#### BOTTOM Section (High Attention)
Place **important reference** information:
```markdown
## Key Commands (REFERENCE)
- npm run build: Build production bundle
- npm test: Run test suite
- npm run lint: Run linter
## Critical File Locations
- Config: /config/app.config.ts
- Types: /src/types/global.d.ts
```
**Rationale**: "Lost in the middle" research shows LLMs have U-shaped attention curves, with highest attention at the start and end of context.
---

```
#### 7. Reference Information (20-40 lines)
```markdown
## Reference
- File locations
- Environment setup
- Troubleshooting
```
---
## Version Control Best Practices
### Project-Level CLAUDE.md
#### Commit to Source Control
-**DO** commit `./CLAUDE.md` or `./.claude/CLAUDE.md` to git
-**DO** include in code reviews
-**DO** update alongside code changes
-**DO** document major changes in commit messages
#### Review Standards
```markdown
## PR Checklist for CLAUDE.md Changes
- [ ] Removed outdated information
- [ ] Added context for new features/patterns
- [ ] Updated commands if changed
- [ ] Verified no secrets committed
- [ ] Kept file under 300 lines
- [ ] Used imports for lengthy docs
```
### User-Level CLAUDE.md
#### Keep Personal Preferences Separate
-**DO** use `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` for personal preferences
-**DO NOT** commit user-level files to project repos
-**DO** share useful patterns with team (move to project-level)
---
## Naming Conventions
### Section Headers
Use clear, action-oriented headers:
#### Good Examples:
```markdown
## MUST FOLLOW: Security Requirements
## How to Build and Deploy
## Common Troubleshooting Solutions
## File Structure Overview
```
#### Avoid:
```markdown
## Miscellaneous
## Other
## Notes
## TODO
```
### Emphasis Techniques
Use consistent emphasis for priority levels:
```markdown
## CRITICAL: [thing that must never be violated]
## IMPORTANT: [thing that should be followed]
## RECOMMENDED: [thing that's nice to have]
## REFERENCE: [lookup information]
```
---
## Maintenance Cadence
### When to Update CLAUDE.md
#### Update Immediately:
- New critical security requirements
- Major architecture changes
- New must-follow standards
- Breaking changes in workflow
#### Update During Sprint Planning:
- New features that introduce patterns
- Updated dependencies with new conventions
- Deprecated practices to remove
#### Update Quarterly:
- Remove outdated information
- Consolidate duplicate guidance
- Optimize length and structure
- Review for clarity
### Staleness Detection
Signs your CLAUDE.md needs updating:
- ⚠️ References to deprecated tools or frameworks
- ⚠️ Outdated command examples
- ⚠️ Broken file paths
- ⚠️ Conflicting instructions
- ⚠️ Information duplicated in multiple sections
---
## Multi-Project Strategies
### User-Level Patterns
For developers working across multiple projects:
```markdown
# ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
## Personal Development Standards
- TDD approach required
- Write tests before implementation
- No console.log statements
## Preferred Tools
- Use Vitest for testing
- Use ESLint with recommended config
- Use Prettier with 2-space indent
## Communication Style
- Be concise and direct
- Provide context for decisions
- Flag breaking changes prominently
```
### Project-Level Focus
Each project's CLAUDE.md should:
- ✅ Override user-level preferences where needed
- ✅ Add project-specific context
- ✅ Define team-wide standards
- ❌ Avoid duplicating user-level preferences
---
## Testing Your CLAUDE.md
### Validation Checklist
#### Structure Test
- [ ] Under 300 lines (or using imports)
- [ ] Clear section headers
- [ ] Bullet points for lists
- [ ] Code blocks formatted correctly
#### Content Test
- [ ] No secrets or sensitive information
- [ ] Specific instructions (not generic)
- [ ] Project-specific context
- [ ] No outdated information
- [ ] No broken file paths
#### Effectiveness Test
- [ ] Start a new Claude Code session
- [ ] Verify standards are followed without re-stating
- [ ] Test that Claude references CLAUDE.md correctly
- [ ] Confirm critical standards enforced
---
## Advanced Techniques
### Conditional Instructions
Use clear conditions for context-specific guidance:
```markdown
## Testing Standards
### For New Features
- Write tests BEFORE implementation (TDD)
- Integration tests required for API endpoints
- Accessibility tests for UI components
### For Bug Fixes
- Add regression test that would have caught the bug
- Update existing tests if behavior changed
- Ensure fix doesn't break other tests
```
### Progressive Disclosure
Organize from high-level to detailed:
```markdown
## Architecture
### Overview
- Clean Architecture pattern
- Feature-based modules
- Hexagonal architecture for API layer
### Module Structure
├── features/ # Feature modules
│ ├── auth/ # Authentication feature
│ ├── dashboard/ # Dashboard feature
│ └── settings/ # Settings feature
├── lib/ # Shared libraries
└── infrastructure/ # Infrastructure layer
### Detailed Patterns
(Include or import detailed documentation)
```
---
## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
### Common Mistakes
#### ❌ Copy-Paste from Documentation
```markdown
## React Hooks
React Hooks allow you to use state and other React features
without writing a class...
[200 lines of React documentation]
```
**Problem**: Claude already knows this. Wastes context.
#### ❌ Excessive Detail
```markdown
## Git Workflow
1. First, open your terminal
2. Navigate to the project directory using cd
3. Type git status to see your changes
4. Type git add to stage files...
[50 lines of basic git commands]
```
**Problem**: Claude knows git. Be specific about YOUR workflow only.
#### ❌ Vague Instructions
```markdown
## Code Quality
- Write good code
- Make it clean
- Follow best practices
```
**Problem**: Not actionable. Be specific.
#### ✅ Better Approach
```markdown
## Code Quality Standards
- TypeScript strict mode: no `any` types
- Function length: max 50 lines
- Cyclomatic complexity: max 10
- Test coverage: minimum 80%
- No console.log in src/ directory (use logger instead)
```

```
## Best Practices
1. **Fail fast**: Check secrets before anything else
2. **Clear errors**: Include file path and line numbers
3. **PR feedback**: Post results as comments
4. **Gradual adoption**: Start with warnings, then enforce
5. **Skip when needed**: Allow `[skip audit]` in commit message

# Official Anthropic Guidance
Complete compilation of official documentation from docs.claude.com (verified 2025-10-26).
## Memory Hierarchy
**Precedence Order** (highest to lowest):
1. Enterprise policy (managed by admins)
2. Project instructions (.claude/CLAUDE.md)
3. User instructions (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md)
**Loading Behavior**:
- All tiers loaded and merged
- Higher precedence overrides conflicts
- Enterprise can restrict user/project capabilities
## File Locations
| Tier | Location | Scope |
|------|----------|-------|
| Enterprise | Managed centrally | Organization-wide |
| Project | `.claude/CLAUDE.md` or `CLAUDE.md` in project root | Per-repository |
| User | `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` | All user sessions |
## Import Functionality
**Syntax**: `@path/to/file.md`
**Limitations**:
- Maximum 5 import hops
- Only markdown files
- Relative paths from CLAUDE.md location
- No circular imports
**Example**:
```markdown
## Coding Standards
@docs/coding-standards.md
## API Guidelines
@docs/api-guidelines.md
```
## Official Best Practices
### Keep Them Lean
- Avoid verbose documentation
- Focus on project-specific information
- Claude already knows general programming
### Be Specific
- Concrete examples over vague guidance
- Actual commands, not descriptions
- Real patterns from your codebase
### Use Structure
- Clear markdown headers
- Organized sections
- Priority markers for critical items
## What NOT to Include
### Security Risks
- API keys, tokens, secrets
- Database credentials
- Private keys
- Internal infrastructure details
### Redundant Content
- Generic programming best practices
- Language documentation
- Framework tutorials
- Content Claude already knows
### Problematic Content
- Conflicting instructions
- Vague guidance ("write good code")
- Outdated information
## Validation Methods
### /memory Command
Shows what Claude currently has loaded from all CLAUDE.md files.
### /init Command
Generates or updates CLAUDE.md based on project analysis.

# Official Anthropic Guidance for CLAUDE.md Configuration
> **Source**: Official Anthropic documentation from docs.claude.com (verified 2025-10-26)
This document compiles all official guidance from Anthropic for creating and maintaining CLAUDE.md memory files in Claude Code.
## Memory Hierarchy
### Three-Tier System
Claude Code uses a hierarchical memory system with clear precedence:
1. **Enterprise Policy Memory** (Highest Priority)
- **Locations**:
- macOS: `/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/CLAUDE.md`
- Linux: `/etc/claude-code/CLAUDE.md`
- Windows: `C:\ProgramData\ClaudeCode\CLAUDE.md`
- **Purpose**: Organization-wide instructions managed by IT/DevOps
- **Access**: Typically managed centrally, not by individual developers
2. **Project Memory** (Medium Priority)
- **Locations**:
- `./CLAUDE.md` (project root)
- `./.claude/CLAUDE.md` (hidden directory in project root)
- **Purpose**: Team-shared project instructions committed to source control
- **Access**: All team members can edit, checked into git
3. **User Memory** (Lowest Priority)
- **Location**: `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`
- **Purpose**: Personal preferences that apply across all projects
- **Access**: Individual developer only
### Precedence Rules
- **Higher-level memories load first** and provide a foundation that more specific memories build upon
- **Settings are merged**: More specific settings add to or override broader ones
- **Recursive discovery**: Claude Code starts in the current working directory and recurses up to (but not including) the root directory, reading any CLAUDE.md files it finds
**Source**: [Memory Management Documentation](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/memory)
---
## File Loading Behavior
### Launch-Time Loading
- **CLAUDE.md files are loaded at startup** when Claude Code is launched
- Memory files in **parent directories** are loaded at startup
- Memories in **subdirectories** load dynamically when Claude accesses files in those locations
- This loading happens **separately from conversation history**
**Source**: [Memory Lookup Documentation](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/memory)
---
## Import Functionality
### Syntax
CLAUDE.md files can import additional files using the `@path/to/import` syntax:
```markdown
# Project Standards
@docs/coding-standards.md
@docs/testing-guidelines.md
@~/.claude/my-personal-preferences.md
```
### Limitations
- **Maximum import depth**: 5 hops
- **Prevents circular imports**: Claude Code detects and prevents infinite loops
- **Purpose**: Allows you to include documentation without bloating the main memory file
**Source**: [Memory Imports Documentation](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/memory)
---
## Official Best Practices
### Keep Memory Files Lean
> "Memory files are read at the beginning of each coding session, which is why it's important to keep them lean as they take up context window space."
**Key Principle**: Concise and human-readable
### Be Specific
-**Good**: "Use 2-space indentation"
-**Bad**: "Format code properly"
**Rationale**: Specific instructions are more actionable and less ambiguous
### Use Structure to Organize
- **Format**: Each individual memory as a bullet point
- **Group**: Related memories under descriptive headings
- **Example**:
```markdown
## Code Style
- Use 2-space indentation
- Use ES modules syntax
- Destructure imports when possible
## Testing
- Run tests with: npm test
- Minimum 80% coverage required
```
### Strike a Balance
- Avoid wasting tokens on too many details
- Don't include generic information Claude already understands
- Focus on project-specific context and requirements
**Source**: [Memory Best Practices Documentation](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/memory), [Best Practices Blog](https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/claude-code-best-practices)
---
## What NOT to Include
### ❌ Basic Programming Concepts
Claude already understands fundamental programming principles. Don't include:
- Language syntax basics
- Common design patterns
- Standard library documentation
- General programming advice
### ❌ Information Covered in Official Documentation
Don't duplicate content from official docs that Claude has been trained on:
- Framework documentation (React, Vue, etc.)
- Language specifications (JavaScript, TypeScript, etc.)
- Standard tool documentation (npm, git, etc.)
### ❌ Changing Details
Avoid information that changes frequently:
- Current sprint tasks (use issue trackers instead)
- Temporary project status
- Time-sensitive information
- Specific bug references
### ❌ Secret Information
**Never include**:
- API keys or tokens
- Passwords or credentials
- Private keys
- Connection strings
- Any sensitive information
**Note**: .env files should be in .gitignore, and CLAUDE.md should never contain secrets
**Source**: [Memory Best Practices](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/memory), [Security Standards](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/settings)
---
## Context Management
### Auto-Compaction
- **Behavior**: "Your context window will be automatically compacted as it approaches its limit"
- **Purpose**: Allows you to continue working indefinitely
- **Customization**: You can add summary instructions to CLAUDE.md to customize compaction behavior
- **Hook**: PreCompact hook runs before compaction operation
### Memory Persistence Across Sessions
- CLAUDE.md files persist across sessions (loaded at launch)
- Memory files maintain their content through compaction
- You can customize how compaction summarizes conversations via CLAUDE.md
**Source**: [Cost Management Documentation](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/costs), [Hooks Reference](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/hooks)
---
## Validation Methods
### Official Commands
#### `/memory` Command
- **Purpose**: View and edit CLAUDE.md memory files
- **Usage**: Type `/memory` in Claude Code to see all loaded memory files
- **Features**:
- Shows file paths for each memory location
- Allows direct editing of memory files
- Confirms which files are loaded
#### `/init` Command
- **Purpose**: Bootstrap CLAUDE.md file for your project
- **Usage**: Run `/init` in a new project
- **Features**:
- Analyzes your codebase
- Generates initial CLAUDE.md with project information
- Includes conventions and frequently used commands
**Source**: [Slash Commands Reference](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/slash-commands)
### CLI Debug Flags
While there is no `/debug` slash command, Claude Code offers CLI flags:
- `--debug`: Enable debug mode with detailed output
- `--mcp-debug`: Debug MCP server connections
- `--verbose`: Enable verbose logging
**Source**: Claude Code CLI documentation
---
## Content Recommendations
### What TO Include
#### Project-Specific Context
```markdown
# Project Overview
- Monorepo using npm workspaces
- TypeScript strict mode enforced
- Testing with Vitest
## Architecture
- Feature-based folder structure
- Clean Architecture pattern
- API layer in /src/api
```
#### Development Standards
```markdown
## Code Quality
- TypeScript strict mode required
- No `any` types allowed
- 80% test coverage minimum
- No console.log in production code
## Git Workflow
- Branch pattern: feature/{name}
- Conventional commit messages
- Pre-commit hooks enforced
```
#### Common Commands
```markdown

- Constants: /src/constants/index.ts
- Types: /src/types/global.d.ts
```
**Source**: [Best Practices Blog](https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/claude-code-best-practices)
---
## Integration with Settings
### Relationship to settings.json
While CLAUDE.md provides instructions and context, `settings.json` provides programmatic control:
#### Settings Hierarchy
1. Enterprise managed policies (highest)
2. Command line arguments
3. Local project settings (`.claude/settings.local.json`)
4. Shared project settings (`.claude/settings.json`)
5. User settings (`~/.claude/settings.json`)
#### Complementary Usage
- **CLAUDE.md**: Instructions, context, standards, preferences
- **settings.json**: Permissions, hooks, tool access, environment variables
**Example** of settings.json:
```json
{
"permissions": {
"allow": ["Bash(npm run test:*)"],
"deny": ["Write(./.env)", "Write(./production.config.*)"]
},
"hooks": {
"PostToolUse": [
{
"matcher": "Write(*.py)",
"hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "python -m black $file"}]
}
]
}
}
```
**Source**: [Settings Documentation](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/settings)
---
## Iterative Improvement
### Living Document Philosophy
- **Use `#` shortcut**: Quickly add instructions during conversations
- **Iterate and refine**: Test what produces the best instruction following
- **Share with team**: Commit improvements to source control
- **Add emphasis**: Use keywords like "IMPORTANT" or "YOU MUST" for critical standards
### Optimization Techniques
Consider using a "prompt improver" to enhance instructions:
- Make vague instructions more specific
- Add context where needed
- Improve clarity and organization
**Source**: [Best Practices Blog](https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/claude-code-best-practices)
---
## Summary of Official Guidelines
### ✅ DO
1. Keep CLAUDE.md files **lean and concise**
2. Be **specific** in instructions (not generic)
3. Use **structured markdown** with headings and bullets
4. Use **imports** for large documentation
5. Focus on **project-specific** context
6. **Iterate and refine** based on effectiveness
7. Use **hierarchy** appropriately (Enterprise → Project → User)
### ❌ DON'T
1. Include basic programming concepts
2. Duplicate official documentation
3. Add changing/temporary information
4. Include secrets or sensitive information
5. Make memory files excessively long
6. Use vague or generic instructions
7. Create circular import loops

# Research-Based Optimization
Academic findings on LLM context utilization and attention patterns.
## Lost in the Middle Phenomenon
**Source**: Liu et al., 2023 - "Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts"
### Key Finding
LLMs perform best when relevant information is positioned at the **beginning or end** of context, not the middle.
### Performance Curve
```
Performance
^
100%|* *
| * *
75%| * *
| * *
50%| * **** *
| ** **
+----------------------------> Position
Start Middle End
```
### Implications for CLAUDE.md
- **Critical information**: First 20% of file
- **Reference material**: Last 20% of file
- **Supporting details**: Middle sections
## Optimal Structure
Based on research findings:
```markdown
# Project Name
## CRITICAL (Top 20%)
- Build commands
- Breaking patterns to avoid
- Security requirements
## IMPORTANT (Next 30%)
- Core architecture
- Main conventions
- Testing requirements
## SUPPORTING (Middle 30%)
- Detailed patterns
- Edge cases
- Historical context
## REFERENCE (Bottom 20%)
- Links and resources
- Version history
- Maintenance notes
```
## Token Efficiency Research
### Context Window Utilization
- **Diminishing returns** after ~4K tokens of instructions
- **Optimal range**: 1,500-3,000 tokens
- **Beyond 5K**: Consider splitting into imports
### Information Density
- Prefer lists over paragraphs (better attention)
- Use code blocks (higher signal-to-noise)
- Avoid redundancy (wastes attention budget)
## Attention Calibration (MIT/Google Cloud AI, 2024)
### Finding
Recent models (Claude 3.5+) show improved but not eliminated middle-position degradation.
### Recommendations
1. **Chunking**: Group related information together
2. **Explicit markers**: Use headers and formatting
3. **Repetition**: Critical items can appear twice (top and bottom)
## Claude-Specific Performance Data
### Context Awareness in Claude 4/4.5
- Better at tracking multiple requirements
- Still benefits from positional optimization
- Explicit priority markers help attention allocation
### Effective Markers
```markdown
**CRITICAL**: Must follow exactly
**IMPORTANT**: Strongly recommended
**NOTE**: Additional context
```
## Practical Applications
### Audit Criteria Based on Research
**Check positioning of**:
- Security requirements (should be top)
- Build commands (should be top)
- Error-prone patterns (should be top or bottom)
- Reference links (should be bottom)
**Flag as issues**:
- Critical info buried in middle
- Long unstructured paragraphs
- Missing headers/structure
- No priority markers

# Research-Based Insights for CLAUDE.md Optimization
> **Source**: Academic research on LLM context windows, attention patterns, and memory systems
This document compiles findings from peer-reviewed research and academic studies on how Large Language Models process long contexts, with specific implications for CLAUDE.md configuration.
---
## The "Lost in the Middle" Phenomenon
### Research Overview
**Paper**: "Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts"
**Authors**: Liu et al. (2023)
**Published**: Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, MIT Press
**Key Finding**: Language models consistently demonstrate U-shaped attention patterns
### Core Findings
#### U-Shaped Performance Curve
Performance is often highest when relevant information occurs at the **beginning** or **end** of the input context, and significantly degrades when models must access relevant information in the **middle** of long contexts, even for explicitly long-context models.
**Visualization**:
```
Attention/Performance
High | ██████ ██████
| ██████ ██████
| ██████ ██████
Medium | ██████ ██████
| ███ ███
Low | ████████████████
+------------------------------------------
START MIDDLE SECTION END
```
#### Serial Position Effects
This phenomenon is strikingly similar to **serial position effects** found in human memory literature:
- **Primacy Effect**: Better recall of items at the beginning
- **Recency Effect**: Better recall of items at the end
- **Middle Degradation**: Worse recall of items in the middle
The characteristic U-shaped curve appears in both human memory and LLM attention patterns.
**Source**: Liu et al., "Lost in the Middle" (2023), TACL
---
## Claude-Specific Performance
### Original Research Results (Claude 1.3)
The original "Lost in the Middle" research tested Claude models:
#### Model Specifications
- **Claude-1.3**: Maximum context length of 8K tokens
- **Claude-1.3 (100K)**: Extended context length of 100K tokens
#### Key-Value Retrieval Task Results
> "Claude-1.3 and Claude-1.3 (100K) do nearly perfectly on all evaluated input context lengths"
**Interpretation**: Claude performed better than competitors at accessing information in the middle of long contexts, but still showed the general pattern of:
- Best performance: Information at start or end
- Good performance: Information in middle (better than other models)
- Pattern: Still exhibited U-shaped curve, just less pronounced
**Source**: Liu et al., Section 4.2 - Model Performance Analysis
### Claude 2.1 Improvements (2023)
#### Prompt Engineering Discovery
Anthropic's team discovered that Claude 2.1's long-context performance could be dramatically improved with targeted prompting:
**Experiment**:
- **Without prompt nudge**: 27% accuracy on middle-context retrieval
- **With prompt nudge**: 98% accuracy on middle-context retrieval
**Effective Prompt**:
```
Here is the most relevant sentence in the context: [relevant info]
```
**Implication**: Explicit highlighting of important information overcomes the "lost in the middle" problem.
**Source**: Anthropic Engineering Blog (2023)
---
## Claude 4 and 4.5 Enhancements
### Context Awareness Feature
**Models**: Claude Sonnet 4, Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5, Opus 4, Opus 4.1
#### Key Capabilities
1. **Real-time Context Tracking**
- Models receive updates on remaining context window after each tool call
- Enables better task persistence across extended sessions
- Improves handling of state transitions
2. **Behavioral Adaptation**
- **Sonnet 4.5** is the first model with context awareness that shapes behavior
- Proactively summarizes progress as context limits approach
- More decisive about implementing fixes near context boundaries
3. **Extended Context Windows**
- Standard: 200,000 tokens
- Beta: 1,000,000 tokens (1M context window)
- Models tuned to be more "agentic" for long-running tasks
**Implication**: Newer Claude models are significantly better at managing long contexts and maintaining attention throughout.
**Source**: Claude 4/4.5 Release Notes, docs.claude.com

## Research-Backed Optimization Strategies
### 1. Strategic Positioning
#### Place Critical Information at Boundaries
**Based on U-shaped attention curve**:
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md Structure (Research-Optimized)
## TOP SECTION (Prime Position)
### CRITICAL: Must-Follow Standards
- Security requirements
- Non-negotiable quality gates
- Blocking issues
## MIDDLE SECTION (Lower Attention)
### Supporting Information
- Nice-to-have conventions
- Optional practices
- Historical context
- Background information
## BOTTOM SECTION (Recency Position)
### REFERENCE: Key Information
- Common commands
- File locations
- Critical paths
```
**Rationale**:
- Critical standards at TOP get primacy attention
- Reference info at BOTTOM gets recency attention
- Supporting context in MIDDLE is acceptable for lower-priority info
---
### 2. Chunking and Signposting
#### Use Clear Markers for Important Information
**Research Finding**: Explicit signaling improves retrieval
**Technique**:
```markdown
## 🚨 CRITICAL: Security Standards
[Most important security requirements]
## ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Testing Requirements
[Key testing standards]
## 📌 REFERENCE: Common Commands
[Frequently used commands]
```
**Benefits**:
- Visual markers improve salience
- Helps overcome middle-context degradation
- Easier for both LLMs and humans to scan
---
### 3. Repetition for Critical Standards
#### Repeat Truly Critical Information
**Research Finding**: Redundancy improves recall in long contexts
**Example**:
```markdown
## CRITICAL STANDARDS (Top)
- NEVER commit secrets to git
- TypeScript strict mode REQUIRED
- 80% test coverage MANDATORY
## Development Workflow
...
## Pre-Commit Checklist (Bottom)
- ✅ No secrets in code
- ✅ TypeScript strict mode passing
- ✅ 80% coverage achieved
```
**Note**: Use sparingly - only for truly critical, non-negotiable standards.
---
### 4. Hierarchical Information Architecture
#### Organize by Importance, Not Just Category
**Less Effective** (categorical):
```markdown
## Code Standards
- Critical: No secrets
- Important: Type safety
- Nice-to-have: Naming conventions
## Testing Standards
- Critical: 80% coverage
- Important: Integration tests
- Nice-to-have: Test names
```
**More Effective** (importance-based):
```markdown
## CRITICAL (All Categories)
- No secrets in code
- TypeScript strict mode
- 80% test coverage
## IMPORTANT (All Categories)
- Integration tests for APIs
- Type safety enforcement
- Security best practices
## RECOMMENDED (All Categories)
- Naming conventions
- Code organization

**Rationale**: Groups critical information together at optimal positions, rather than spreading across middle sections.

## Token Efficiency Research
### Optimal Context Utilization
#### Research Finding: Attention Degradation with Context Length
Studies show that even with large context windows, attention can wane as context grows:
**Context Window Size vs. Effective Attention**:
- **Small contexts (< 10K tokens)**: High attention throughout
- **Medium contexts (10K-100K tokens)**: U-shaped attention curve evident
- **Large contexts (> 100K tokens)**: More pronounced degradation
#### Practical Implications for CLAUDE.md
**Token Budget Analysis**:
| Context Usage | CLAUDE.md Size | Effectiveness |
|---------------|----------------|---------------|
| < 1% | 50-100 lines | Minimal impact, highly effective |
| 1-2% | 100-300 lines | Optimal balance |
| 2-5% | 300-500 lines | Diminishing returns start |
| > 5% | 500+ lines | Significant attention cost |
**Recommendation**: Keep CLAUDE.md under 3,000 tokens (≈200 lines) for optimal attention preservation.

## Model Size and Context Performance
### Larger Models = Better Context Utilization
#### Research Finding (2024)
> "Larger models (e.g., Llama-3.2 1B) exhibit reduced or eliminated U-shaped curves and maintain high overall recall, consistent with prior results that increased model complexity reduces lost-in-the-middle severity."
**Implications**:
- Larger/more sophisticated models handle long contexts better
- Claude 4/4.5 family likely has improved middle-context attention
- But optimization strategies still beneficial
**Source**: "Found in the Middle: Calibrating Positional Attention Bias" (MIT/Google Cloud AI, 2024)
---
## Attention Calibration Solutions
### Recent Breakthroughs (2024)
#### Attention Bias Calibration
Research showed that the "lost in the middle" blind spot stems from U-shaped attention bias:
- LLMs consistently favor start and end of input sequences
- Neglect middle even when it contains most relevant content
**Solution**: Attention calibration techniques
- Adjust positional attention biases
- Improve middle-context retrieval
- Maintain overall model performance
**Status**: Active research area; future Claude models may incorporate these improvements

## Summary of Research Insights
### ✅ Evidence-Based Recommendations
1. **Place critical information at TOP or BOTTOM** (not middle)
2. **Keep CLAUDE.md under 200-300 lines** (≈3,000 tokens)
3. **Use clear markers and signposting** for important sections
4. **Repeat truly critical standards** (sparingly)
5. **Organize by importance**, not just category
6. **Use imports for large documentation** (keeps main file lean)
7. **Leverage Claude 4/4.5 context awareness** improvements
### ⚠️ Caveats and Limitations
1. Research is evolving - newer models improve constantly
2. Claude specifically performs better than average on middle-context
3. Context awareness features in Claude 4+ mitigate some issues
4. Your mileage may vary based on specific use cases
5. These are optimization strategies, not strict requirements
### 🔬 Future Research Directions
- Attention calibration techniques
- Model-specific optimization strategies
- Dynamic context management
- Adaptive positioning based on context usage
---
## Validation Studies Needed
### Recommended Experiments
To validate these strategies for your project:
1. **A/B Testing**
- Create two CLAUDE.md versions (optimized vs. standard)
- Measure adherence to standards over multiple sessions
- Compare effectiveness
2. **Position Testing**
- Place same standard at TOP, MIDDLE, BOTTOM
- Measure compliance rates
- Validate U-shaped attention hypothesis
3. **Length Testing**
- Test CLAUDE.md at 100, 200, 300, 500 lines
- Measure standard adherence
- Find optimal length for your context
4. **Marker Effectiveness**
- Test with/without visual markers (🚨, ⚠️, 📌)
- Measure retrieval accuracy
- Assess practical impact

# MCP Server Creator Skill
Automated tool for creating production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with TypeScript or Python SDKs.
## What This Skill Does
The MCP Server Creator skill streamlines the entire process of building MCP servers by:
1. **Gathering requirements** through interactive questions about your server's purpose
2. **Selecting the right SDK** (TypeScript, Python, Java, Kotlin, or C#)
3. **Generating project structure** with proper dependencies and build configuration
4. **Creating server implementation** with tools, resources, and prompts
5. **Configuring Claude Desktop** integration with proper paths and environment
6. **Providing testing guidance** with MCP Inspector and validation steps
## When to Use
Use this skill when you want to:
- Connect Claude to your data sources (databases, APIs, files)
- Expose custom tools for AI to call
- Build workflow automation servers
- Create enterprise integrations
- Learn MCP development patterns
## Trigger Phrases
- "create an MCP server for [purpose]"
- "build a Model Context Protocol server"
- "set up MCP integration with [data source]"
- "help me create a server for Claude Desktop"
- "scaffold an MCP server"
## What Gets Generated
### Project Structure
```
mcp-server-name/
├── src/
│ └── index.ts (or main.py)
├── build/ (TypeScript only)
├── package.json / pyproject.toml
├── tsconfig.json (TypeScript only)
├── .env.example
├── .gitignore
└── README.md
```
### Key Features
- ✅ Full TypeScript or Python server implementation
- ✅ Proper SDK integration with error handling
- ✅ Tool definitions with Zod schemas or type hints
- ✅ Resource and prompt handlers (if needed)
- ✅ Claude Desktop configuration
- ✅ Environment variable management
- ✅ Security best practices (.gitignore, input validation)
- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
- ✅ Testing instructions with MCP Inspector
## Example Usage
### Simple Tool Server
**You:** "Create an MCP server that can search my local documents"
**Skill generates:**
- File search tool with glob patterns
- Content search tool using grep
- Resource handlers for file contents
- Claude Desktop configuration
- Security validations (path traversal prevention)
### Database Integration
**You:** "Build an MCP server to query my PostgreSQL database"
**Skill generates:**
- Database query tool with SQL validation
- Schema inspection tools
- Connection pooling setup
- Environment variable configuration
- Read-only query enforcement
### API Wrapper
**You:** "Create a server that wraps the GitHub API"
**Skill generates:**
- GitHub API client setup
- Tools for common operations (search, issues, PRs)
- Authentication configuration
- Rate limiting handling
- Response formatting for AI consumption
## Supported Languages
| Language | SDK | Best For |
|----------|-----|----------|
| **TypeScript** | `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` | Web APIs, JS ecosystem |
| **Python** | `mcp[cli]` (FastMCP) | Data processing, ML |
| **Java** | Spring AI MCP | Enterprise Java apps |
| **Kotlin** | Kotlin SDK | Android/JVM apps |
| **C#** | ModelContextProtocol NuGet | Windows/Azure apps |
## Common Patterns Included
The skill includes templates and guidance for:
- **Database Integration**: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
- **API Wrappers**: REST APIs, GraphQL
- **File System Access**: Secure file operations
- **Search Integration**: Elasticsearch, vector search
- **Workflow Automation**: CI/CD, deployments
- **Notification Systems**: Email, Slack, SMS
- **Data Processing**: ETL, analytics pipelines
- **Authentication**: Token validation, permissions
## Testing Your Server
The skill provides three testing approaches:
1. **MCP Inspector** (recommended first)
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js
```
- Browser-based testing interface
- Validates schemas and responses
- No Claude Desktop required
2. **Claude Desktop Integration**
- Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`
- Restart Claude Desktop
- Test with natural language
3. **Custom Client**
- Build your own MCP client
- Use in other AI applications
## Files Included
### Templates
- `typescript-server.ts.template` - Full TypeScript server template
- `python-server.py.template` - Full Python server template
- `package.json.template` - npm configuration
- `tsconfig.json.template` - TypeScript configuration
### Data Files
- `common-patterns.yaml` - 8 common server patterns with dependencies
- `tool-examples.yaml` - Example tool definitions for common use cases
## Security Features
Every generated server includes:
- ✅ Environment variable management (never commit secrets)
- ✅ Input validation with schemas
- ✅ Proper error handling (don't leak internals)
- ✅ .gitignore configuration
- ✅ Logging best practices (stderr only for STDIO)
- ✅ Path traversal prevention (file servers)
- ✅ SQL injection prevention (database servers)
## Next Steps After Generation
1. Review generated code and customize tool implementations
2. Add your API keys/credentials to `.env`
3. Build the project (`npm run build` for TypeScript)
4. Test with MCP Inspector
5. Add to Claude Desktop configuration
6. Test with natural language queries
7. Iterate and enhance based on usage
## Troubleshooting
The skill includes debugging guidance for:
- Server not detected in Claude Desktop
- Tools not appearing
- Connection timeouts
- Build errors
- STDIO logging issues
- Configuration syntax errors
Check `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log` for detailed error messages.

# MCP Server Creator
## Overview
This skill automates the creation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers—the standardized way to connect AI applications to external data sources, tools, and workflows.
**Key Capabilities**:
- Interactive requirements gathering and language selection
- Project scaffolding with SDK integration (TypeScript/Python)
- Server implementation with tools, resources, and prompts
- Claude Desktop configuration generation
- Testing workflow with MCP Inspector
## When to Use This Skill
**Trigger Phrases**:
- "create an MCP server for [purpose]"
- "build a Model Context Protocol server"
- "set up MCP integration with [data source]"
- "generate MCP server to expose [tools/data]"
**Use Cases**:
- Exposing custom data sources to AI applications
- Creating tools for AI models to call
- Building enterprise integrations for Claude
**NOT for**:
- Consuming existing MCP servers (this creates new ones)
- Non-AI integrations (use REST APIs instead)
- Simple file operations (use built-in tools)
## Response Style
- **Interactive**: Ask clarifying questions about purpose and capabilities
- **Educational**: Explain MCP concepts and best practices
- **Language-aware**: Support TypeScript and Python SDKs
- **Production-ready**: Generate complete, tested configurations

**Details**: `workflow/phase-3-implementation.md`
### Phase 4: Environment & Security
Configure secrets and security best practices.
**Details**: `workflow/phase-4-security.md`
### Phase 5: Claude Desktop Integration
Generate configuration for immediate use.
**Details**: `workflow/phase-5-integration.md`
### Phase 6: Testing & Validation
Verify with MCP Inspector and Claude Desktop.
**Details**: `workflow/phase-6-testing.md`
### Phase 7: Documentation & Handoff
Provide README and next steps.
**Details**: `workflow/phase-7-documentation.md`
## Important Reminders
1. **STDIO = No stdout logging** - Use console.error or stderr only
2. **Build before test** - TypeScript requires `npm run build`
3. **Absolute paths only** - Claude Desktop config needs full paths
4. **Complete restart required** - Quit Claude Desktop entirely (Cmd+Q)
5. **Schemas matter** - AI uses descriptions to decide when to call tools
6. **Security first** - Never commit secrets, validate all inputs
7. **Test incrementally** - MCP Inspector before Claude integration
## Limitations
- Only TypeScript and Python SDKs fully supported
- HTTP transport requires additional security setup
- Claude Desktop must be restarted for config changes
- Cannot modify existing MCP servers (creates new ones only)
## Reference Materials
| Resource | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `workflow/*.md` | Detailed phase instructions |
| `reference/capabilities.md` | Tools, resources, prompts deep-dive |
| `reference/troubleshooting.md` | Common issues and debugging |
| `reference/language-guides/*.md` | TypeScript and Python best practices |
## Success Criteria
- [ ] Project structure created with dependencies
- [ ] Server implements requested capabilities
- [ ] All tools have proper schemas and descriptions
- [ ] Logging configured correctly (no stdout for STDIO)
- [ ] Environment variables configured securely
- [ ] Claude Desktop config generated with absolute paths
- [ ] MCP Inspector testing passes
- [ ] Server appears in Claude Desktop after restart

# MCP Capability Deep-Dives
## Tools: AI-Callable Functions
**When to use**: AI needs to perform actions or fetch computed data
### Structure
- **Name**: Descriptive verb (e.g., "search_docs", "create_ticket")
- **Description**: Clear explanation (AI uses this to decide when to call)
- **Schema**: Input parameters with types and descriptions
- **Handler**: Async function returning structured content
### Example Tool Types
- Data fetching: "get_user_data", "search_products"
- Computation: "calculate_metrics", "analyze_sentiment"
- Actions: "send_email", "create_issue", "update_status"
- External APIs: "search_web", "translate_text"
---
## Resources: Data Exposure
**When to use**: AI needs to read data without side effects
### Structure
- **URI**: Pattern like "scheme://path/{param}"
- **MIME type**: Helps AI understand content format
- **Handler**: Returns content (text, JSON, binary)
### Example Resource Types
- File contents: "file:///path/to/file.txt"
- Database records: "db://users/{user_id}"
- API responses: "api://endpoint/{id}"
- Search results: "search://query/{term}"
---
## Prompts: Specialized Workflows
**When to use**: Provide templates for common tasks
### Structure
- **Name**: Descriptive identifier
- **Description**: When to use this prompt
- **Arguments**: Parameters to customize
- **Template**: Pre-filled prompt text
### Example Prompt Types
- Code review: Pre-filled checklist
- Bug triage: Structured investigation steps
- Documentation: Template with sections
---
## Common Server Patterns
### Database Integration Server
**Tools**: query_database, get_schema, list_tables
**Resources**: db://tables/{table}/schema
**Example**: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB access
### API Wrapper Server
**Tools**: call_endpoint, search_api, get_resource
**Resources**: api://endpoints/{endpoint}
**Example**: Wrap REST APIs for AI consumption
### File System Server
**Resources**: file:///{path}
**Tools**: search_files, read_file, list_directory
**Example**: Secure file access with permissions
### Workflow Automation Server
**Tools**: trigger_workflow, check_status, get_results
**Prompts**: workflow_templates
**Example**: CI/CD, deployment, data pipelines

# Python MCP Server Best Practices (FastMCP)
## Setup
```bash
uv init mcp-server-name
uv add "mcp[cli]"
```
## Implementation
- ✓ Use type hints (FastMCP reads them!)
- ✓ Write detailed docstrings (becomes tool descriptions)
- ✓ Use async functions for I/O
- ✓ Handle exceptions gracefully
- ✓ Log to stderr only in STDIO mode
## Tool Definition
```python
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
mcp = FastMCP("server-name")
@mcp.tool()
async def search_database(query: str, limit: int = 10) -> str:
"""
Search the database for records matching the query.
Args:
query: Search terms to match against records
limit: Maximum number of results to return (default: 10)
Returns:
JSON string of matching records
"""
results = await db.search(query, limit=limit)
return json.dumps(results)
```
## Resource Definition
```python
@mcp.resource("db://tables/{table_name}/schema")
async def get_table_schema(table_name: str) -> str:
"""Get the schema for a database table."""
schema = await db.get_schema(table_name)
return json.dumps(schema)
```
## Critical Rules
### STDIO Transport
```python
import sys
# WRONG - corrupts JSON-RPC
print("Debug info")
# CORRECT - safe for STDIO
print("Debug info", file=sys.stderr)
# Or use logging
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, stream=sys.stderr)
```
### Error Handling
```python
@mcp.tool()
async def risky_operation(param: str) -> str:
"""Perform an operation that might fail."""
try:
result = await external_api.call(param)
return str(result)
except Exception as e:
logging.error(f"Operation failed: {e}")
raise ValueError(f"Operation failed: {e}")
```
## Run
```bash
# With uv
uv run main.py
# Direct
python main.py
```

# TypeScript MCP Server Best Practices
## Configuration
- ✓ Use strict mode in tsconfig.json
- ✓ Target ES2022 or later
- ✓ Use Node16 module resolution
## Implementation
- ✓ Leverage Zod for runtime validation
- ✓ Export types for reusability
- ✓ Use async/await consistently
- ✓ Handle errors with try/catch
- ✓ Build before testing!
## Critical Rules
### STDIO Transport
```typescript
// WRONG - corrupts JSON-RPC
console.log("Debug info");
// CORRECT - safe for STDIO
console.error("Debug info");
```
### Tool Schemas
```typescript
import { z } from "zod";
const ToolInputSchema = z.object({
query: z.string().describe("Search query"),
limit: z.number().optional().default(10).describe("Max results"),
});
// Validate in handler
const input = ToolInputSchema.parse(request.params.arguments);
```
### Error Handling
```typescript
server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => {
try {
const result = await performOperation(request.params);
return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result) }] };
} catch (error) {
console.error("Tool error:", error);
return {
content: [{
type: "text",
text: `Error: ${error.message}`
}],
isError: true
};
}
});
```
## Build & Run
```bash
# Development
npm run watch
# Production
npm run build
node build/index.js

# MCP Server Troubleshooting
## Error Handling Patterns
### Validation Errors
```typescript
if (!isValid(input)) {
throw new Error("Invalid input: expected format X, got Y");
}
```
### API Errors
```typescript
try {
const result = await externalAPI.call();
return result;
} catch (error) {
console.error("API error:", error);
return {
content: [{
type: "text",
text: `Error: ${error.message}. Please try again.`
}]
};
}
```
### Resource Not Found
```typescript
if (!resource) {
throw new Error(`Resource not found: ${uri}`);
}
```
---
## Common Issues
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Server not detected | Invalid path | Use absolute path, verify file exists |
| Tools don't appear | Build not run | Run `npm run build` |
| "Server error" | stdout logging | Remove console.log, use console.error |
| Connection timeout | Server crash | Check mcp-server-NAME.log for errors |
| Invalid config | JSON syntax | Validate JSON, check quotes/commas |
---
## Quick Reference Commands
### Check Claude Desktop Logs
```bash
tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp.log
tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-[name].log
```
### Validate Config JSON
```bash
python -m json.tool ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
```
### Test with MCP Inspector
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector [command] [args]
```
### Restart Claude Desktop
```bash
# macOS
osascript -e 'quit app "Claude"'
open -a Claude
```
---
## Transport-Specific Issues
### STDIO Transport
**Problem**: Server crashes with no error
**Cause**: Using console.log() which corrupts JSON-RPC
**Solution**: Use console.error() only
**Problem**: Server not responding
**Cause**: Blocking synchronous operation
**Solution**: Use async/await for all I/O
### HTTP Transport
**Problem**: Connection refused
**Cause**: Wrong port or server not running
**Solution**: Check PORT env var, verify server started
**Problem**: Authentication errors
**Cause**: Missing or invalid credentials
**Solution**: Configure auth headers/tokens

# Phase 1: Discovery & Language Selection
**Purpose**: Understand what the user wants to build and choose the right SDK
## Questions to Ask
### 1. Server Purpose
- "What data source, tools, or workflows do you want to expose to AI?"
- Examples: "Access PostgreSQL database", "Search Jira tickets", "Format code"
### 2. Target AI Application
- Claude Desktop (most common)
- Custom AI application
- Multiple clients
### 3. Programming Language Preference
- **TypeScript/Node.js** (recommended for web APIs, JavaScript ecosystem)
- **Python** (recommended for data processing, ML workflows)
- **Java/Spring AI** (enterprise Java applications)
- **Kotlin** (Android/JVM applications)
- **C#/.NET** (Windows/Azure applications)
### 4. Capability Types Needed
- **Tools**: Functions AI can call (e.g., "get_weather", "search_database")
- **Resources**: Data AI can read (e.g., file contents, API responses)
- **Prompts**: Specialized templates for common tasks
## Output
Clear understanding of:
- Server purpose
- Language choice
- Capabilities needed (tools/resources/prompts)

# Phase 3: Server Implementation
**Purpose**: Generate core server code with requested capabilities
## TypeScript Server Template
```typescript
#!/usr/bin/env node
import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
import { z } from "zod";

const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);
// CRITICAL: Never console.log() in STDIO mode!
console.error("Server running on stdio");
}
main().catch(console.error);
```
## Python Server Template (FastMCP)
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
import os
# Initialize server
mcp = FastMCP("server-name")
@mcp.tool()
async def tool_name(param: str) -> str:
"""
Description of what this tool does.
Args:
param: Parameter description
Returns:
Result description
"""
result = await perform_operation(param)
return str(result)
@mcp.resource("resource://template/{id}")
async def get_resource(id: str) -> str:
"""Get resource by ID."""
return f"Resource content for {id}"
if __name__ == "__main__":
mcp.run()
```
## Key Implementation Patterns
### 1. Tool Definition
- Clear, descriptive names
- Comprehensive descriptions (AI uses this!)
- Strong typing with Zod/type hints
- Proper error handling
### 2. Resource Patterns
- URI templates for dynamic resources
- Efficient data fetching (avoid heavy computation)
- Proper MIME types
### 3. Logging Rules
- **STDIO servers**: NEVER use console.log/print (corrupts JSON-RPC)
- Use console.error / logging.error (stderr is safe)
- **HTTP servers**: stdout is safe
## Output
Fully implemented server with requested capabilities

Proceed to Phase 5 (Claude Desktop Integration)

View File

@@ -0,0 +1,60 @@
# Phase 5: Claude Desktop Integration
**Purpose**: Configure server in Claude Desktop for immediate use
## Configuration Location
- **macOS/Linux**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
## TypeScript Configuration
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"server-name": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server-name/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
```
## Python Configuration
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"server-name": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/absolute/path/to/mcp-server-name",
"run",
"main.py"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
```
## Critical Requirements
-**Use ABSOLUTE paths** (not relative like `./` or `~/`)
- ✅ Run `npm run build` before testing (TypeScript)
- ✅ Completely restart Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS)
- ✅ Valid JSON syntax (check with `python -m json.tool`)
## Output
Complete Claude Desktop configuration with restart instructions

Proceed to Phase 6 (Testing & Validation)

View File

@@ -0,0 +1,60 @@
# Phase 6: Testing & Validation
**Purpose**: Verify server works correctly before deployment
## Testing Workflow
### 1. Build Check (TypeScript)
```bash
npm run build
# Should complete without errors
# Verify build/index.js exists
```
### 2. MCP Inspector Testing
```bash
# Install MCP Inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js
# Or for Python
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run main.py
```
- Opens browser interface to test tools/resources
- Validates schemas and responses
- Great for debugging before Claude integration
### 3. Claude Desktop Integration Test
- Add to claude_desktop_config.json
- Completely restart Claude Desktop
- Check logs: `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log`
- Look for server in "🔌" (attachments) menu
### 4. Functional Testing in Claude
Test with natural language queries:
- "Use [server-name] to [perform action]"
- "Can you [tool description]?"
- Verify tool appears in suggestions
- Check response accuracy
## Debugging Common Issues
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Server not detected | Invalid path | Use absolute path, verify file exists |
| Tools don't appear | Build not run | Run `npm run build` |
| "Server error" | stdout logging | Remove console.log, use console.error |
| Connection timeout | Server crash | Check mcp-server-NAME.log for errors |
| Invalid config | JSON syntax | Validate JSON, check quotes/commas |
## Output
Validated, working MCP server with test results

### Metrics
- **Session counts and active time** - How much you use Claude Code
- **Token usage** - Input, output, cached tokens by model
- **API costs** - Spend tracking by model and time
- **Lines of code** - Code modifications (added, changed, deleted)
- **Commits and PRs** - Git activity tracking
### Events/Logs
- User prompts (if enabled)
- Tool executions
- API requests
- Session lifecycle
**Privacy:** Metrics are anonymized. Source code content is never collected.

---
## Troubleshooting
### Quick Checks
**Containers not starting:**
```bash
docker compose logs
```
**No metrics in Prometheus:**
1. Restart Claude Code (telemetry loads at startup)
2. Wait 60 seconds (export interval)
3. Check OTEL Collector logs: `docker compose logs otel-collector`
**Dashboard shows "No data":**
1. Verify metric names use double prefix: `claude_code_claude_code_*`
2. Check time range (top-right corner)
3. Verify datasource UID matches
**Full troubleshooting guide:** See `data/troubleshooting.md`
---
## Known Issues
### Issue 1: 🚨 CRITICAL - Missing OTEL Exporters
**Description:** Claude Code not sending telemetry even with `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1`
**Cause:** Missing required `OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER` and `OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER` settings
**Solution:** The skill templates include these by default. **Always verify** they're present in settings.json. See Configuration Reference for details.
---
### Issue 2: OTEL Collector Deprecated 'address' Field
**Description:** Collector crashes with "'address' has invalid keys" error
**Cause:** The `address` field in `service.telemetry.metrics` is deprecated in collector v0.123.0+
**Solution:** Skill templates have this removed. If using custom config, remove the deprecated field.
---
### Issue 3: Metric Double Prefix
**Description:** Metrics are named `claude_code_claude_code_*` instead of `claude_code_*`
**Cause:** OTEL Collector Prometheus exporter adds namespace prefix
**Solution:** This is expected. Dashboards use correct naming.
---
### Issue 4: Dashboard Datasource UID Mismatch
**Description:** Dashboard shows "datasource prometheus not found"
**Cause:** Dashboard has hardcoded UID that doesn't match your Grafana
**Solution:** Skill automatically detects and fixes UID during import
---
### Issue 5: OTEL Collector Deprecated Exporter
**Description:** Container fails with "logging exporter has been deprecated"
**Cause:** Old OTEL configuration
**Solution:** Skill uses `debug` exporter (not deprecated `logging`)
---
## Configuration Reference
### Settings.json (Local)
**🚨 CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS:**
The following settings are **REQUIRED** (not optional) for telemetry to work:
- `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY: "1"` - Enables telemetry system
- `OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER: "otlp"` - **REQUIRED** to send metrics (most common missing setting!)
- `OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER: "otlp"` - **REQUIRED** to send events/logs
Without `OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER` and `OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER`, telemetry will not send even if `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1` is set.
```json
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp", // REQUIRED!
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp", // REQUIRED!
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL": "grpc",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:4317",
"OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "60000",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "5000",
"OTEL_LOG_USER_PROMPTS": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_SESSION_ID": "true",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_VERSION": "true",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ACCOUNT_UUID": "true",
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "environment=local,deployment=poc"
}
}
```
### Settings.json (Enterprise)
**Same CRITICAL requirements apply:**
- `OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER: "otlp"` - **REQUIRED!**
- `OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER: "otlp"` - **REQUIRED!**
```json
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp", // REQUIRED!
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp", // REQUIRED!
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL": "grpc",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT": "https://otel.company.com:4317",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS": "Authorization=Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
"OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "60000",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "5000",
"OTEL_LOG_USER_PROMPTS": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_SESSION_ID": "true",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_VERSION": "true",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ACCOUNT_UUID": "true",
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "team=platform,environment=production"
}
}
```
---
## Management
### Start Telemetry Stack (Mode 1)
```bash
~/.claude/telemetry/start-telemetry.sh
```
### Stop Telemetry Stack (Mode 1)
```bash
~/.claude/telemetry/stop-telemetry.sh
```
### Check Status
```bash
docker compose ps
```
### View Logs
```bash
docker compose logs -f
```
### Restart Services
```bash
docker compose restart
```
---
## Data Retention
**Default:** 15 days in Prometheus
**Adjust retention:**
Edit `docker-compose.yml` or `prometheus.yml`:
```yaml
command:
- '--storage.tsdb.retention.time=90d'
- '--storage.tsdb.retention.size=50GB'
```
**Disk usage:** ~1-2 MB per day per active user
---
## Security Considerations
### Local Setup (Mode 1)
- Grafana accessible only on localhost
- Default credentials: admin/admin (change after first login)
- No external network exposure
- Data stored in Docker volumes
### Enterprise Setup (Mode 2)
- Use HTTPS endpoints
- Store API keys securely (environment variables, secrets manager)
- Enable mTLS for production
- Tag metrics with team/project for proper attribution
---
## Performance Tuning
### Reduce OTEL Collector Memory
Edit `otel-collector-config.yml`:
```yaml
processors:
memory_limiter:
limit_mib: 256 # Reduce from default
```
### Reduce Prometheus Retention
Edit `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
command:
- '--storage.tsdb.retention.time=7d' # Reduce from 15d
```
### Optimize Dashboard Queries
- Use recording rules for expensive queries
- Reduce dashboard time ranges
- Increase refresh intervals
See `data/prometheus-queries.md` for recording rule examples
---
## Integration Examples
### Cost Alerts (PagerDuty/Slack)
```yaml
# alertmanager.yml
groups:
- name: claude_code_cost
rules:
- alert: HighDailyCost
expr: sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[24h])) > 100
annotations:
summary: "Claude Code daily cost exceeded $100"
```
### Weekly Cost Reports (Email)
Use Grafana Reporting:
1. Create dashboard with cost panels
2. Set up email delivery
3. Schedule weekly reports
### Chargeback Integration
Export metrics to data warehouse:
```yaml
# Use Prometheus remote write
remote_write:
- url: "https://datawarehouse.company.com/prometheus"
```

name: otel-monitoring-setup
description: Use PROACTIVELY when setting up OpenTelemetry monitoring for Claude Code usage tracking, cost analysis, or productivity metrics. Provides local PoC mode (full Docker stack with Grafana) and enterprise mode (centralized infrastructure). Configures telemetry collection, imports dashboards, and verifies data flow. Not for non-Claude telemetry or custom metric definitions.

# Claude Code OpenTelemetry Setup
Automated workflow for setting up OpenTelemetry telemetry collection for Claude Code usage monitoring, cost tracking, and productivity analytics.
## Quick Decision Matrix
| User Request | Mode | Action |
|--------------|------|--------|
| "Set up telemetry locally" | Mode 1 | Full PoC stack |
| "I want to try OpenTelemetry" | Mode 1 | Full PoC stack |
| "Connect to company endpoint" | Mode 2 | Enterprise config |
| "Set up for team rollout" | Mode 2 | Enterprise + docs |
| "Dashboard not working" | Troubleshoot | See known issues |
## Mode 1: Local PoC Setup
**Goal**: Complete local telemetry stack for individual developer
**Creates**:
- OpenTelemetry Collector (receives data)
- Prometheus (stores metrics)
- Loki (stores logs)
- Grafana (dashboards)
**Prerequisites**:
- Docker Desktop running
- 2GB free disk space
- Write access to ~/.claude/
**Time**: 5-7 minutes
**Workflow**: `modes/mode1-poc-setup.md`
**Output**:
- Grafana at http://localhost:3000 (admin/admin)
- Management scripts in ~/.claude/telemetry/
## Mode 2: Enterprise Setup
**Goal**: Connect Claude Code to centralized company infrastructure
**Required Info**:
- OTEL Collector endpoint URL
- Authentication (API key or certificates)
- Team/department identifier
**Time**: 2-3 minutes
**Workflow**: `modes/mode2-enterprise.md`
**Output**:
- settings.json configured for central endpoint
- Team rollout documentation
## Critical Configuration
**REQUIRED in settings.json** (without these, telemetry won't work):
```json
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:4317"
}
}
```
**Must restart Claude Code after settings changes!**
## Pre-Flight Check
Always run before setup:
```bash
# Verify Docker is running
docker info > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo "Start Docker Desktop first"
# Check available ports
for port in 3000 4317 4318 8889 9090; do
lsof -i :$port > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Port $port in use"
done
# Check disk space (need 2GB)
df -h ~/.claude
```
## Metrics Collected
- Session counts and active time
- Token usage (input/output/cached)
- API costs by model (USD)
- Lines of code modified
- Commits and PRs created
## Management Commands
```bash
# Start telemetry stack
~/.claude/telemetry/start-telemetry.sh
# Stop (preserves data)
~/.claude/telemetry/stop-telemetry.sh
# Full cleanup (removes all data)
~/.claude/telemetry/cleanup-telemetry.sh
```
## Common Issues
### No Data in Dashboard
1. Check OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER and OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER are set
2. Verify Claude Code was restarted
3. See `reference/known-issues.md`
### Datasource Not Found
Dashboard has wrong UID. Detect your UID:
```bash
curl -s http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/datasources | jq '.[0].uid'
```
Replace in dashboard JSON and re-import.
### Metric Names Double Prefix
Metrics use `claude_code_claude_code_*` format. Update dashboard queries accordingly.
## Reference Documentation
- `modes/mode1-poc-setup.md` - Detailed local setup workflow
- `modes/mode2-enterprise.md` - Enterprise configuration steps
- `reference/known-issues.md` - Troubleshooting guide
- `templates/` - Configuration file templates
- `dashboards/` - Grafana dashboard JSON files
## Safety Checklist
- [ ] Backup settings.json before modification
- [ ] Verify Docker is running first
- [ ] Check ports are available
- [ ] Test data flow before declaring success
- [ ] Provide cleanup instructions

# Grafana Dashboard Templates
This directory contains pre-configured Grafana dashboards for Claude Code telemetry.
## Available Dashboards
### 1. claude-code-overview.json
**Comprehensive dashboard with all key metrics**
**Panels:**
- Total Lines of Code (all-time counter)
- Total Cost (24h rolling window)
- Total Tokens (24h rolling window)
- Active Time (24h rolling window)
- Cost Over Time (per hour rate)
- Token Usage by Type (stacked timeseries)
- Lines of Code Modified (bar chart)
- Commits Created (24h counter)
**Metrics Used:**
- `claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_active_time_seconds_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_commit_count_total`
**Note:** This dashboard uses the correct double-prefix metric names.
### 2. claude-code-simple.json
**Simplified dashboard for quick overview**
**Panels:**
- Active Sessions
- Total Cost (24h)
- Total Tokens (24h)
- Active Time (24h)
- Cost Over Time
- Token Usage by Type
**Use Case:** Lightweight dashboard for basic monitoring without detailed breakdowns.
## Importing Dashboards
### Method 1: Grafana UI (Recommended)
1. Access Grafana: http://localhost:3000
2. Login with admin/admin
3. Go to: Dashboards → New → Import
4. Click "Upload JSON file"
5. Select the dashboard JSON file
6. Click "Import"
### Method 2: Grafana API
```bash
# Get the datasource UID first
DATASOURCE_UID=$(curl -s -u admin:admin http://localhost:3000/api/datasources | jq -r '.[] | select(.type=="prometheus") | .uid')
# Update dashboard with correct UID
cat claude-code-overview.json | jq --arg uid "$DATASOURCE_UID" '
walk(if type == "object" and .datasource.type == "prometheus" then .datasource.uid = $uid else . end)
' > dashboard-updated.json
# Import dashboard
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/dashboards/db \
-u admin:admin \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @dashboard-updated.json
```
## Datasource UID Configuration
**Important:** The dashboards have a hardcoded Prometheus datasource UID: `PBFA97CFB590B2093`
If your Grafana instance has a different UID, you need to replace it:
```bash
# Find your datasource UID
curl -s -u admin:admin http://localhost:3000/api/datasources | jq '.[] | select(.type=="prometheus") | {name, uid}'
# Replace UID in dashboard
YOUR_UID="YOUR_ACTUAL_UID_HERE"
cat claude-code-overview.json | sed "s/PBFA97CFB590B2093/$YOUR_UID/g" > claude-code-overview-fixed.json
# Import the fixed version
```
The skill handles this automatically during Mode 1 setup!
## Customizing Dashboards
### Adding Custom Panels
Use these PromQL queries as templates:
**Total Tokens by Model:**
```promql
sum by (model) (increase(claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total[24h]))
```
**Cost per Session:**
```promql
increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[24h])
/
increase(claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total[24h])
```
**Lines of Code per Hour:**
```promql
rate(claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total[5m]) * 3600
```
**Average Session Duration:**
```promql
increase(claude_code_claude_code_active_time_seconds_total[24h])
/
increase(claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total[24h])
```
### Time Range Recommendations
- **Real-time monitoring:** Last 15 minutes, 30s refresh
- **Daily review:** Last 24 hours, 1m refresh
- **Weekly analysis:** Last 7 days, 5m refresh
- **Monthly reports:** Last 30 days, 15m refresh
## Troubleshooting
### Dashboard Shows "No Data"
1. **Check data source connection:**
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/health | jq .
```
2. **Verify Prometheus has data:**
```bash
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values' | jq . | grep claude_code
```
3. **Check metric naming:**
- Ensure queries use double prefix: `claude_code_claude_code_*`
- Not single prefix: `claude_code_*`
### Dashboard Shows "Datasource Not Found"
- Your datasource UID doesn't match the dashboard
- Follow the "Datasource UID Configuration" section above
### Panels Show Different Time Ranges
- Set dashboard time range at top-right
- Individual panels inherit from dashboard unless overridden
- Check panel settings: Edit → Query Options → Time Range

# Claude Code Metrics Reference
Complete reference for all Claude Code OpenTelemetry metrics.
**Important:** All metrics use a double prefix: `claude_code_claude_code_*`
---
## Metric Categories
1. **Usage Metrics** - Session counts, active time
2. **Token Metrics** - Input, output, cached tokens
3. **Cost Metrics** - API costs by model
4. **Productivity Metrics** - LOC, commits, PRs
5. **Error Metrics** - Failures, retries
---
## Usage Metrics
### claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total
**Type:** Counter
**Description:** Total number of Claude Code sessions started
**Labels:**
- `account_uuid` - Anonymous user identifier
- `version` - Claude Code version (e.g., "1.2.3")
**Example Query:**
```promql
# Total sessions across all users
sum(claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total)
# Sessions by version
sum by (version) (claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total)
# New sessions in last 24h

---
## Cardinality and Resource Attributes
### Resource Attributes
All metrics include these resource attributes (configured in settings.json):
```json
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "environment=local,deployment=poc,team=platform"
```
**Common Attributes:**
- `service.name` = "claude-code" (set by OTEL Collector)
- `environment` - Deployment environment (local, dev, staging, prod)
- `deployment` - Deployment type (poc, enterprise)
- `team` - Team identifier
- `department` - Department identifier
- `project` - Project identifier
**Querying with Resource Attributes:**
```promql
# Filter by environment
sum(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total{environment="production"})
# Aggregate by team
sum by (team) (increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[24h]))
```
---
## Metric Naming Convention
**Format:** `claude_code_claude_code_<metric_name>_<unit>_<type>`
**Why double prefix?**
- First `claude_code` comes from Prometheus exporter namespace in OTEL Collector config
- Second `claude_code` comes from the original metric name in Claude Code
- This is expected behavior with the current configuration
**Components:**
- `<metric_name>`: Descriptive name (e.g., `token_usage`, `cost_usage`)
- `<unit>`: Unit of measurement (e.g., `tokens`, `USD`, `seconds`, `count`)
- `<type>`: Metric type (always `total` for counters)
---
## Querying Best Practices
### Use increase() for Counters
Counters are cumulative, so use `increase()` for time windows:
```promql
# ✅ Correct - Shows cost in last 24h
increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[24h])
# ❌ Wrong - Shows cumulative cost since start
claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total
```
### Use rate() for Rates
Calculate per-second rate, then multiply for desired unit:
```promql
# Cost per hour
rate(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[5m]) * 3600
# Tokens per minute
rate(claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total[5m]) * 60
```
### Aggregate with sum()
Combine metrics across labels:
```promql
# Total tokens (all types)
sum(claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total)
# Total tokens by type
sum by (type) (claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total)
# Total cost across all models
sum(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total)
```
---
## Example Dashboards
### Executive Summary (single values)
```promql
# Total cost this month
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[30d]))
# Total LOC this month
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total[30d]))
# Active users (unique account_uuids)
count(count by (account_uuid) (claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total))
# Average session cost
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[30d]))
/
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total[30d]))
```
### Cost Tracking
```promql
# Daily cost trend
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[1d]))
# Cost by model (pie chart)
sum by (model) (increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[7d]))
# Cost by team (bar chart)
sum by (team) (increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[7d]))
```
### Productivity Tracking
```promql
# LOC per day
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total[1d]))
# Commits per week
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_commit_count_total[7d]))
# Efficiency: LOC per dollar
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total[30d]))
/
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[30d]))
```
---
## Retention and Storage
**Default Prometheus Retention:** 15 days
**Adjust retention:**
```yaml
# In prometheus.yml or docker-compose.yml
command:
- '--storage.tsdb.retention.time=90d'
- '--storage.tsdb.retention.size=50GB'
```
**Disk usage estimation:**
- ~1-2 MB per day per active user
- ~30-60 MB per month per active user
- ~360-720 MB per year per active user
**For long-term storage:** Consider using Prometheus remote write to send data to a time-series database like VictoriaMetrics, Cortex, or Thanos.

## Recording Rules
Save these as Prometheus recording rules for faster dashboard queries:
```yaml
groups:
- name: claude_code_aggregations
interval: 1m
rules:
# Daily cost
- record: claude_code:cost_usd:daily
expr: sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[24h]))
# Cost by team
- record: claude_code:cost_usd:daily:by_team
expr: sum by (team) (increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[24h]))
# Cache hit rate
- record: claude_code:cache_hit_rate:daily
expr: |
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total{type="cache_read"}[24h]))
/
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total{type=~"input|cache_creation|cache_read"}[24h]))
* 100
# LOC efficiency
- record: claude_code:loc_per_dollar:daily
expr: |
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total[24h]))
/
sum(increase(claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total[24h]))
```
Then use simplified queries:
```promql
# Instead of complex query, just use:
claude_code:cost_usd:daily
claude_code:cost_usd:daily:by_team
```
---
## Visualization Tips
### Time Series Panel
- Use `rate()` for smooth trends
- Set legend to `{{label_name}}` for clarity
- Enable "Lines" draw style with opacity
### Stat Panel
- Use `lastNotNull` for counters
- Use `increase([24h])` for daily totals
- Add thresholds for color coding
### Bar Chart
- Use `sum by (label)` for grouping
- Sort by value descending
- Limit to top 10 with `topk(10, ...)`
### Pie Chart
- Calculate percentages with division
- Use `sum by (label)` for segments
- Limit to top categories

# Troubleshooting Guide
Common issues and solutions for Claude Code OpenTelemetry setup.
---
## Container Issues
### Docker Not Running
**Symptom:** `Cannot connect to the Docker daemon`
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
docker info
```
**Solutions:**
1. Start Docker Desktop application
2. Wait for Docker to fully initialize
3. Check system tray for Docker icon
4. Verify Docker daemon is running: `ps aux | grep docker`
---
### Containers Won't Start
**Symptom:** Containers exit immediately after `docker compose up`
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check container logs
docker compose logs
# Check specific service
docker compose logs otel-collector
docker compose logs prometheus
```
**Common Causes:**
**1. OTEL Collector Configuration Error**
```bash
# Check for errors
docker compose logs otel-collector | grep -i error
# Common issues:
# - Deprecated logging exporter
# - Deprecated 'address' field in telemetry.metrics
```
**Solution A - Deprecated logging exporter:**
Update `otel-collector-config.yml`:
```yaml
exporters:
debug:
verbosity: normal
# NOT:
# logging:
# loglevel: info
```
**Solution B - Deprecated 'address' field (v0.123.0+):**
If logs show: `'address' has invalid keys` or similar error:
Update `otel-collector-config.yml`:
```yaml
service:
telemetry:
metrics:
level: detailed
# REMOVE this line (deprecated in v0.123.0+):
# address: ":8888"
```
The `address` field in `service.telemetry.metrics` is deprecated in newer OTEL Collector versions. Simply remove it - the collector will use default internal metrics endpoint.
**2. Port Already in Use**
```bash
# Check which ports are in use
lsof -i :3000 # Grafana
lsof -i :4317 # OTEL gRPC
lsof -i :4318 # OTEL HTTP
lsof -i :8889 # OTEL Prometheus exporter
lsof -i :9090 # Prometheus
lsof -i :3100 # Loki
```
**Solution:**
- Stop conflicting service
- Or change port in docker-compose.yml
**3. Volume Permission Issues**
```bash
# Check volume permissions
docker volume ls
docker volume inspect claude-telemetry_prometheus-data
```
**Solution:**
```bash
# Remove and recreate volumes
docker compose down -v
docker compose up -d
```

### Containers Keep Restarting
**Symptom:** Container status shows "Restarting"
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
docker compose ps
docker compose logs --tail=50 <service-name>
```
**Solutions:**
1. Check memory limits: Increase memory_limiter in OTEL config
2. Check disk space: `df -h`
3. Check for configuration errors in logs
4. Restart Docker Desktop

## Claude Code Settings Issues
### 🚨 CRITICAL: Telemetry Not Sending (Most Common Issue)
**Symptom:** No metrics appearing in Prometheus after Claude Code restart
**ROOT CAUSE (90% of cases):** Missing required exporter environment variables
Even when `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1` is set, telemetry **will not send** without explicit exporter configuration. This is the #1 most common issue.
**Diagnosis Checklist:**
**1. Check REQUIRED exporters (MOST IMPORTANT):**
```bash
jq '.env.OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER' ~/.claude/settings.json
# Must return: "otlp" (NOT null, NOT missing)
jq '.env.OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER' ~/.claude/settings.json
# Should return: "otlp" (recommended for event tracking)
```
**If either returns `null` or is missing, this is your problem!**
**2. Verify telemetry is enabled:**
```bash
jq '.env.CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY' ~/.claude/settings.json
# Should return: "1"
```
**3. Check OTEL endpoint:**
```bash
jq '.env.OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT' ~/.claude/settings.json
# Should return: "http://localhost:4317" (for local setup)
```
**3. Verify JSON is valid:**
```bash
jq empty ~/.claude/settings.json
# No output = valid JSON
```
**4. Check if Claude Code was restarted:**
```bash
# Telemetry config only loads at startup!
# Must quit and restart Claude Code completely
```
**5. Test OTEL endpoint connectivity:**
```bash
nc -zv localhost 4317
# Should show: Connection to localhost port 4317 [tcp/*] succeeded!
```
**Solutions:**
**If exporters are missing (MOST COMMON):**
Add these REQUIRED settings to ~/.claude/settings.json:
```json
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:4317",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL": "grpc"
}
}
```
Then **MUST restart Claude Code** (settings only load at startup).
**If endpoint unreachable:**
- Verify OTEL Collector container is running
- Check firewall settings
- Try HTTP endpoint instead: `http://localhost:4318`
**If still no data:**
- Check OTEL Collector logs for incoming connections
- Verify Claude Code is running (not just idle)
- Wait 60 seconds (default export interval)
---
### Settings.json Syntax Errors
**Symptom:** Claude Code won't start or shows errors
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Validate JSON
jq empty ~/.claude/settings.json
# Pretty-print to find issues
jq . ~/.claude/settings.json
```
**Common Issues:**
- Missing commas between properties
- Trailing commas before closing braces
- Unescaped quotes in strings
- Incorrect nesting
**Solution:**
```bash
# Restore backup
cp ~/.claude/settings.json.backup ~/.claude/settings.json
# Or fix JSON manually with editor
```
---
## Grafana Issues
### Can't Access Grafana
**Symptom:** `localhost:3000` doesn't load
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check if Grafana is running
docker ps | grep grafana
# Check Grafana logs
docker compose logs grafana
# Check port availability
lsof -i :3000
```
**Solutions:**
1. Verify container is running: `docker compose up -d grafana`
2. Wait 30 seconds for Grafana to initialize
3. Try `http://127.0.0.1:3000` instead
4. Check Docker network: `docker network inspect claude-telemetry`
---
### Dashboard Shows "Datasource Not Found"
**Symptom:** Dashboard panels show "datasource prometheus not found"
**Cause:** Dashboard has hardcoded datasource UID that doesn't match your Grafana instance
**Diagnosis:**
1. Go to: http://localhost:3000/connections/datasources
2. Click on Prometheus datasource
3. Note the UID from URL (e.g., `PBFA97CFB590B2093`)
**Solution:**
```bash
# Get your datasource UID
DATASOURCE_UID=$(curl -s -u admin:admin http://localhost:3000/api/datasources | jq -r '.[] | select(.type=="prometheus") | .uid')
echo "Your Prometheus datasource UID: $DATASOURCE_UID"
# Update dashboard JSON
cd ~/.claude/telemetry/dashboards
cat claude-code-overview.json | sed "s/PBFA97CFB590B2093/$DATASOURCE_UID/g" > claude-code-overview-fixed.json
# Re-import the fixed dashboard
```
---
### Dashboard Shows "No Data"
**Symptom:** Dashboard loads but all panels show "No data"
**Diagnosis Steps:**
**1. Check Prometheus has data:**
```bash
# Query Prometheus directly
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values' | jq . | grep claude_code
# Should see metrics like:
# "claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total"
# "claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total"
```
**2. Check datasource connection:**
- Go to: http://localhost:3000/connections/datasources
- Click Prometheus
- Click "Save & Test"
- Should show: "Successfully queried the Prometheus API"
**3. Verify metric names in queries:**
```bash
# Check if metrics use double prefix
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=claude_code_claude_code_session_count_total' | jq .
```
**Solutions:**
**If metrics don't exist:**
- Claude Code hasn't sent data yet (wait 60 seconds)
- OTEL Collector isn't receiving data (check container logs)
- Settings.json wasn't configured correctly
**If metrics exist but dashboard shows no data:**
- Dashboard queries use wrong metric names
- Update queries to use double prefix: `claude_code_claude_code_*`
- Check time range (top-right corner of Grafana)
**If single prefix metrics exist (`claude_code_*`):**
Your setup uses old naming. Update dashboard:
```bash
# Replace double prefix with single
sed 's/claude_code_claude_code_/claude_code_/g' dashboard.json > dashboard-fixed.json
```
---
## Prometheus Issues
### Prometheus Shows No Targets
**Symptom:** Prometheus UI (localhost:9090) → Status → Targets shows no targets or DOWN status
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check Prometheus config
cat ~/.claude/telemetry/prometheus.yml
# Check if OTEL Collector is reachable from Prometheus
docker exec -it claude-prometheus ping otel-collector
```
**Solutions:**
1. Verify `prometheus.yml` has correct scrape_configs
2. Ensure OTEL Collector is running
3. Check Docker network connectivity
4. Restart Prometheus: `docker compose restart prometheus`
---
### Prometheus Can't Scrape OTEL Collector
**Symptom:** Target shows as DOWN with error "context deadline exceeded"
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check if OTEL Collector is exposing metrics
curl http://localhost:8889/metrics
# Check OTEL Collector logs
docker compose logs otel-collector
```
**Solutions:**
1. Verify OTEL Collector prometheus exporter is configured
2. Check port 8889 is exposed in docker-compose.yml
3. Restart OTEL Collector: `docker compose restart otel-collector`
---
## Metric Issues
### Metrics Have Double Prefix
**Symptom:** Metrics are named `claude_code_claude_code_*` instead of `claude_code_*`
**Explanation:** This is expected behavior with the current OTEL Collector configuration:
- First `claude_code` = Prometheus exporter namespace
- Second `claude_code` = Original metric name
**Solutions:**
**Option 1: Accept it (Recommended)**
- Update dashboard queries to use double prefix
- This is the standard configuration
**Option 2: Remove namespace prefix**
Update `otel-collector-config.yml`:
```yaml
exporters:
prometheus:
endpoint: "0.0.0.0:8889"
namespace: "" # Remove namespace
```
Then restart: `docker compose restart otel-collector`
---
### Old Metrics Still Showing
**Symptom:** After changing configuration, old metrics still appear
**Cause:** Prometheus retains metrics until retention period expires
**Solutions:**
**Quick fix: Delete Prometheus data:**
```bash
docker compose down
docker volume rm claude-telemetry_prometheus-data
docker compose up -d
```
**Proper fix: Wait for retention:**
- Default retention is 15 days
- Old metrics will automatically disappear
- New metrics will coexist temporarily
---
## Network Issues
### Can't Reach OTEL Endpoint from Claude Code
**Symptom:** Claude Code can't connect to `localhost:4317`
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Test gRPC endpoint
nc -zv localhost 4317
# Test HTTP endpoint
curl -v http://localhost:4318/v1/metrics -d '{}'
```
**Solutions:**
**If connection refused:**
1. Check OTEL Collector is running
2. Verify ports are exposed in docker-compose.yml
3. Check firewall/antivirus blocking localhost connections
**If timeout:**
1. Increase export timeout in settings.json
2. Try HTTP protocol instead of gRPC
**macOS-specific:**
- Use `http://host.docker.internal:4317` instead of `localhost:4317`
- Or use bridge network mode
---
### Enterprise Endpoint Unreachable
**Symptom:** Can't connect to company OTEL endpoint
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Test connectivity
ping otel.company.com
# Test port
nc -zv otel.company.com 4317
# Test with VPN
# (Ensure corporate VPN is connected)
```
**Solutions:**
1. Connect to corporate VPN
2. Check firewall allows outbound connections
3. Verify endpoint URL is correct
4. Try HTTP endpoint (port 4318) instead of gRPC
5. Contact platform team to verify endpoint is accessible
---
## Performance Issues
### High Memory Usage
**Symptom:** OTEL Collector or Prometheus using excessive memory
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check container resource usage
docker stats
# Check Prometheus TSDB size
du -sh ~/.claude/telemetry/prometheus-data
```
**Solutions:**
**OTEL Collector:**
Reduce memory_limiter in `otel-collector-config.yml`:
```yaml
processors:
memory_limiter:
check_interval: 1s
limit_mib: 256 # Reduce from 512
```
**Prometheus:**
Reduce retention:
```yaml
command:
- '--storage.tsdb.retention.time=7d' # Reduce from 15d
- '--storage.tsdb.retention.size=1GB'
```
---
### Slow Grafana Dashboards
**Symptom:** Dashboards take long time to load or timeout
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check query performance in Prometheus
# Go to: http://localhost:9090/graph
# Run expensive queries like: sum by (account_uuid, model, type) (...)
```
**Solutions:**
1. Reduce dashboard time range (use 6h instead of 7d)
2. Increase dashboard refresh interval (1m → 5m)
3. Use recording rules for complex queries
4. Reduce number of panels
5. Use simpler aggregations
---
## Data Quality Issues
### Unexpected Cost Values
**Symptom:** Cost metrics seem incorrect
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check raw cost values
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total' | jq .
# Check token usage
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total' | jq .
```
**Causes:**
- Cost is cumulative counter (not reset between sessions)
- Dashboard may be using wrong time range
- Model pricing may have changed
**Solutions:**
- Use `increase([24h])` not raw counter values
- Verify pricing in metrics reference
- Check Claude Code version (pricing may vary)
---
### Missing Sessions
**Symptom:** Some Claude Code sessions not recorded
**Causes:**
1. Claude Code wasn't restarted after settings update
2. OTEL Collector was down during session
3. Export interval hadn't elapsed yet (60 seconds default)
4. Network issue prevented export
**Solutions:**
- Always restart Claude Code after settings changes
- Monitor OTEL Collector uptime
- Check OTEL Collector logs for export errors
- Reduce export interval if real-time data needed
---

# Mode 1: Local PoC Setup - Detailed Workflow
Complete step-by-step process for setting up a local OpenTelemetry stack for Claude Code telemetry.
---
## Overview
**Goal:** Create a complete local telemetry monitoring stack
**Time:** 5-7 minutes
**Prerequisites:** Docker Desktop, Claude Code, 2GB+ free disk space
**Output:** Running Grafana dashboard with Claude Code metrics
---
## Phase 0: Prerequisites Verification
### Step 0.1: Check Docker Installation
```bash
# Check if Docker is installed
docker --version
# Expected: Docker version 20.10.0 or higher
```
**If not installed:**
```
Docker is not installed. Please install Docker Desktop:
- Mac: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/
- Linux: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux-install/
- Windows: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/
```
**Stop if:** Docker not installed
### Step 0.2: Verify Docker is Running
```bash
# Check Docker daemon
docker ps
# Expected: List of containers (or empty list)
# Error: "Cannot connect to Docker daemon" means Docker isn't running
```
**If not running:**
```
Docker Desktop is not running. Please:
1. Open Docker Desktop application
2. Wait for the whale icon to be stable (not animated)
3. Try again
```
**Stop if:** Docker not running
### Step 0.3: Check Docker Compose
```bash
# Modern Docker includes compose
docker compose version
# Expected: Docker Compose version v2.x.x or higher
```
**Note:** We use `docker compose` (not `docker-compose`)
### Step 0.4: Check Available Ports
```bash
# Check if ports are available
lsof -i :3000 -i :4317 -i :4318 -i :8889 -i :9090 -i :3100
# Expected: No output (ports are free)
```
**If ports in use:**
```
The following ports are required but already in use:
- 3000: Grafana
- 4317: OTEL Collector (gRPC)
- 4318: OTEL Collector (HTTP)
- 8889: OTEL Collector (Prometheus exporter)
- 9090: Prometheus
- 3100: Loki
Options:
1. Stop services using these ports
2. Modify port mappings in docker-compose.yml (advanced)
```
**Stop if:** Critical ports (3000, 4317, 9090) are in use
### Step 0.5: Check Disk Space
```bash
# Check available disk space
df -h ~
# Minimum: 2GB free (for Docker images ~1.5GB + data volumes)
# Recommended: 5GB+ free for comfortable operation
```
**If low disk space:**
```
Low disk space detected. Setup requires:
- Initial: ~1.5GB for Docker images (OTEL, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki)
- Runtime: 500MB+ for data volumes (grows over time)
- Minimum: 2GB free disk space required
Please free up space before continuing.
```
---
## Phase 1: Directory Structure Creation
### Step 1.1: Create Base Directory
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/telemetry/{dashboards,docs}
cd ~/.claude/telemetry
```
**Verify:**
```bash
ls -la ~/.claude/telemetry
# Should show: dashboards/ and docs/ directories
```
---
## Phase 2: Configuration File Generation
### Step 2.1: Create docker-compose.yml
**Template:** `templates/docker-compose-template.yml`
```yaml
services:
# OpenTelemetry Collector - receives telemetry from Claude Code
otel-collector:
image: otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.115.1
container_name: claude-otel-collector
command: ["--config=/etc/otel-collector-config.yml"]
volumes:
- ./otel-collector-config.yml:/etc/otel-collector-config.yml
ports:

**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/docker-compose.yml`
**Note on Image Versions:**
- Versions are pinned to prevent breaking changes from upstream
- Current versions (tested and stable):
- OTEL Collector: 0.115.1
- Prometheus: v2.55.1
- Loki: 3.0.0
- Grafana: 11.3.0
- To update: Change version tags in docker-compose.yml and run `docker compose pull`
### Step 2.2: Create OTEL Collector Configuration
**Template:** `templates/otel-collector-config-template.yml`
**CRITICAL:** Use `debug` exporter, not deprecated `logging` exporter
```yaml
receivers:
otlp:
protocols:
grpc:
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4317
http:
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318
processors:

send_batch_size: 1024
resource:
attributes:
- key: service.name
value: claude-code
action: upsert
memory_limiter:
check_interval: 1s
limit_mib: 512
exporters:
# Export metrics to Prometheus
prometheus:
endpoint: "0.0.0.0:8889"
namespace: claude_code
const_labels:
source: claude_code_telemetry
# Export logs to Loki via OTLP HTTP
otlphttp/loki:
endpoint: http://loki:3100/otlp
tls:
insecure: true
# Debug exporter (replaces deprecated logging exporter)
debug:
verbosity: normal
service:
pipelines:

processors: [memory_limiter, batch, resource]
exporters: [prometheus, debug]
logs:
receivers: [otlp]
processors: [memory_limiter, batch, resource]
exporters: [otlphttp/loki, debug]
telemetry:
logs:
level: info
```
**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yml`
### Step 2.3: Create Prometheus Configuration
**Template:** `templates/prometheus-config-template.yml`
```yaml
global:
scrape_interval: 15s
evaluation_interval: 15s
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'otel-collector'
static_configs:
- targets: ['otel-collector:8889']
```
**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/prometheus.yml`
### Step 2.4: Create Grafana Datasources Configuration
**Template:** `templates/grafana-datasources-template.yml`
```yaml
apiVersion: 1
datasources:
- name: Prometheus
type: prometheus
access: proxy
url: http://prometheus:9090
isDefault: true
editable: true
- name: Loki
type: loki
access: proxy
url: http://loki:3100
editable: true
```
**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/grafana-datasources.yml`
### Step 2.5: Create Management Scripts
**Start Script:**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# start-telemetry.sh
echo "🚀 Starting Claude Code Telemetry Stack..."
# Check if Docker is running
if ! docker info > /dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "❌ Docker is not running. Please start Docker Desktop."
exit 1
fi
cd ~/.claude/telemetry || exit 1
# Start containers
docker compose up -d
# Wait for services to be ready
echo "⏳ Waiting for services to start..."
sleep 5
# Check container status
echo ""
echo "📊 Container Status:"
docker ps --filter "name=claude-" --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
echo ""
echo "✅ Telemetry stack started!"
echo ""
echo "🌐 Access URLs:"
echo " Grafana: http://localhost:3000 (admin/admin)"
echo " Prometheus: http://localhost:9090"
echo " Loki: http://localhost:3100"
echo ""
echo "📝 Next steps:"
echo " 1. Restart Claude Code to activate telemetry"
echo " 2. Import dashboards into Grafana"
echo " 3. Use Claude Code normally - metrics will appear in ~60 seconds"
```
**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/start-telemetry.sh`
```bash
chmod +x ~/.claude/telemetry/start-telemetry.sh
```
**Stop Script:**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# stop-telemetry.sh
echo "🛑 Stopping Claude Code Telemetry Stack..."
cd ~/.claude/telemetry || exit 1
docker compose down
echo "✅ Telemetry stack stopped"
echo ""
echo "Note: Data is preserved in Docker volumes."
echo "To start again: ./start-telemetry.sh"
echo "To completely remove all data: ./cleanup-telemetry.sh"
```
**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/stop-telemetry.sh`
```bash
chmod +x ~/.claude/telemetry/stop-telemetry.sh
```
**Cleanup Script (Full Data Removal):**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# cleanup-telemetry.sh
echo "⚠️ WARNING: This will remove ALL telemetry data including:"
echo " - All containers"
echo " - All Docker volumes (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki data)"
echo " - Network configuration"
echo ""
read -p "Are you sure you want to proceed? (yes/no): " -r
echo
if [[ ! $REPLY =~ ^[Yy][Ee][Ss]$ ]]; then
echo "Cleanup cancelled."
exit 0
fi
echo "Performing full cleanup of Claude Code telemetry stack..."
cd ~/.claude/telemetry || exit 1
docker compose down -v
echo ""
echo "✅ Full cleanup complete!"
echo ""
echo "Removed:"
echo " ✓ All containers (otel-collector, prometheus, loki, grafana)"
echo " ✓ All volumes (all historical data)"
echo " ✓ Network configuration"
echo ""
echo "Preserved:"
echo " ✓ Configuration files in ~/.claude/telemetry/"
echo " ✓ Claude Code settings in ~/.claude/settings.json"
echo ""
echo "To start fresh: ./start-telemetry.sh"
```
**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/cleanup-telemetry.sh`
```bash
chmod +x ~/.claude/telemetry/cleanup-telemetry.sh
```
---
## Phase 3: Start Docker Containers
### Step 3.1: Start All Services
```bash
cd ~/.claude/telemetry
docker compose up -d
```
**Expected output:**
```
[+] Running 5/5
✔ Network claude_claude-telemetry Created
✔ Container claude-loki Started
✔ Container claude-otel-collector Started
✔ Container claude-prometheus Started
✔ Container claude-grafana Started
```
### Step 3.2: Verify Containers are Running
```bash
docker ps --filter "name=claude-" --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
```
**Expected:** All 4 containers showing "Up X seconds/minutes"
**If OTEL Collector is not running:**
```bash
# Check logs
docker logs claude-otel-collector
```
**Common issue:** "logging exporter deprecated" error
**Solution:** Config file uses `debug` exporter (already fixed in template)
### Step 3.3: Wait for Services to be Healthy
```bash
# Give services time to initialize
sleep 10
# Test Prometheus
curl -s http://localhost:9090/-/healthy
# Expected: Prometheus is Healthy.
# Test Grafana
curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/health | jq
# Expected: {"database": "ok", ...}
```
---
## Phase 4: Update Claude Code Settings
### Step 4.1: Backup Existing Settings
```bash
cp ~/.claude/settings.json ~/.claude/settings.json.backup
```
### Step 4.2: Read Current Settings
```bash
# Read existing settings
cat ~/.claude/settings.json
```
### Step 4.3: Merge Telemetry Configuration
**Add to settings.json `env` section:**
```json
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL": "grpc",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:4317",
"OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "60000",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "5000",
"OTEL_LOG_USER_PROMPTS": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_SESSION_ID": "true",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_VERSION": "true",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ACCOUNT_UUID": "true",
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "environment=local,deployment=poc"
}
}
```
**Template:** `templates/settings-env-template.json`
**Note:** Merge with existing env vars, don't replace entire settings file
### Step 4.4: Verify Settings Updated
```bash
cat ~/.claude/settings.json | grep CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY
# Expected: "CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1"
```

## Phase 5: Grafana Dashboard Import
### Step 5.1: Detect Prometheus Datasource UID
**Option A: Via Grafana API**
```bash
curl -s http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/datasources | \
jq '.[] | select(.type=="prometheus") | {name, uid}'
```
**Expected:**
```json
{
"name": "Prometheus",
"uid": "PBFA97CFB590B2093"
}
```
**Option B: Manual Detection**
1. Open http://localhost:3000
2. Go to Connections → Data sources
3. Click Prometheus
4. Note the UID from the URL: `/datasources/edit/{UID}`
### Step 5.2: Fix Dashboard with Correct UID
**Read dashboard template:** `dashboards/claude-code-overview-template.json`
**Replace all instances of:**
```json
"datasource": {
"type": "prometheus",
"uid": "prometheus"
}
```
**With:**
```json
"datasource": {
"type": "prometheus",
"uid": "PBFA97CFB590B2093"
}
```
**Use detected UID from Step 5.1**
### Step 5.3: Verify Metric Names
**CRITICAL:** Claude Code metrics use double prefix: `claude_code_claude_code_*`
**Verify actual metric names:**
```bash
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values' | \
grep claude_code
```
**Expected metrics:**
- `claude_code_claude_code_active_time_seconds_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_commit_count_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total`
**Dashboard queries must use these exact names**
### Step 5.4: Save Corrected Dashboard
**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/dashboards/claude-code-overview.json`
### Step 5.5: Import Dashboard
**Option A: Via Grafana UI**
1. Open http://localhost:3000 (admin/admin)
2. Dashboards → New → Import
3. Upload JSON file: `~/.claude/telemetry/dashboards/claude-code-overview.json`
4. Click Import
**Option B: Via API**
```bash
curl -X POST http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/dashboards/db \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @~/.claude/telemetry/dashboards/claude-code-overview.json
```
---
## Phase 6: Verification & Testing
### Step 6.1: Verify OTEL Collector Receiving Data
**Note:** Claude Code must be restarted for telemetry to activate!
```bash
# Check OTEL Collector logs for incoming data
docker logs claude-otel-collector --tail 50 | grep -i "received"
```
**Expected:** Messages about receiving OTLP data
**If no data:**
```
Reminder: You must restart Claude Code for telemetry to activate.
1. Exit current Claude Code session
2. Start new session: claude
3. Wait 60 seconds
4. Check again
```
### Step 6.2: Query Prometheus for Metrics
```bash
# Check if any claude_code metrics exist
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values' | \
jq '.data[] | select(. | startswith("claude_code"))'
```
**Expected:** List of claude_code metrics
**Sample query:**
```bash
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total' | \
jq '.data.result'
```
**Expected:** Non-empty result array
### Step 6.3: Test Grafana Dashboard
1. Open http://localhost:3000
2. Navigate to imported dashboard
3. Check panels show data (or "No data" if Claude Code hasn't been used yet)
**If "No data":**
- Normal if Claude Code hasn't generated any activity yet
- Use Claude Code for 1-2 minutes
- Refresh dashboard
**If "Datasource not found":**
- UID mismatch - go back to Step 5.1
**If queries fail:**
- Metric name mismatch - verify double prefix
### Step 6.4: Generate Test Data
**To populate dashboard quickly:**
```
Use Claude Code to:
1. Ask a question (generates token usage)
2. Request a code modification (generates LOC metrics)
3. Have a conversation (generates active time)
```
**Wait 60 seconds, then refresh Grafana dashboard**
---
## Phase 7: Documentation & Quickstart Guide
### Step 7.1: Create Quickstart Guide
**Write to:** `~/.claude/telemetry/docs/quickstart.md`
**Include:**
- URLs and credentials
- Management commands (start/stop)
- What metrics are being collected
- How to access dashboards
- Troubleshooting quick reference
**Template:** `data/quickstart-template.md`
### Step 7.2: Provide User Summary
```

# Mode 2: Enterprise Setup (Connect to Existing Infrastructure)
**Goal:** Configure Claude Code to send telemetry to centralized company infrastructure
**When to use:**
- Company has centralized OTEL Collector endpoint
- Team rollout scenario
- Want aggregated team metrics
- Privacy/compliance requires centralized control
- No need for local Grafana dashboards
**Prerequisites:**
- OTEL Collector endpoint URL (e.g., `https://otel.company.com:4317`)
- Authentication credentials (API key or mTLS certificates)
- Optional: Team/department identifiers
- Write access to `~/.claude/settings.json`
**Estimated Time:** 2-3 minutes
---
## Phase 0: Gather Requirements
### Step 0.1: Collect endpoint information from user
Ask the user for the following details:
1. **OTEL Collector Endpoint URL**
- Format: `https://otel.company.com:4317` or `http://otel.company.com:4318`
- Protocol: gRPC (port 4317) or HTTP (port 4318)
2. **Authentication Method**
- API Key/Bearer Token
- mTLS certificates
- Basic Auth
- No authentication (internal network)
3. **Team/Environment Identifiers**
- Team name (e.g., `team=platform`)
- Environment (e.g., `environment=production`)
- Department (e.g., `department=engineering`)
- Any other custom attributes
4. **Optional: Protocol Preferences**
- Default: gRPC (more efficient)
- Alternative: HTTP (better firewall compatibility)
**Example Questions:**
```
To configure enterprise telemetry, I need a few details:
1. **Endpoint:** What is your OTEL Collector endpoint URL?
(e.g., https://otel.company.com:4317)
2. **Protocol:** HTTPS or HTTP? gRPC or HTTP/protobuf?
3. **Authentication:** Do you have an API key, certificate, or other credentials?
4. **Team identifier:** What team/department should metrics be tagged with?
(e.g., team=platform, department=engineering)
```
---
## Phase 1: Backup Existing Settings
### Step 1.1: Backup settings.json
**Always backup before modifying!**
```bash
# Check if settings.json exists
if [ -f ~/.claude/settings.json ]; then
cp ~/.claude/settings.json ~/.claude/settings.json.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
echo "✅ Backup created: ~/.claude/settings.json.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
else
echo "⚠️ No existing settings.json found - will create new one"
fi
```
### Step 1.2: Read existing settings
```bash
# Check current settings
cat ~/.claude/settings.json
```
**Important:** Preserve all existing settings when adding telemetry configuration!
---
## Phase 2: Update Claude Code Settings
### Step 2.1: Determine configuration based on authentication method
**Scenario A: API Key Authentication**

"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ACCOUNT_UUID": "true",
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "team=platform,environment=production,deployment=enterprise"
}
}
```
### Step 2.2: Update settings.json
**Method 1: Manual Update (Safest)**
1. Open `~/.claude/settings.json` in editor
2. Merge the telemetry configuration into existing `env` object
3. Preserve all other settings
4. Save file
**Method 2: Programmatic Update (Use with Caution)**
```bash
# Read existing settings
existing_settings=$(cat ~/.claude/settings.json)
# Create merged settings (requires jq)
cat ~/.claude/settings.json | jq '. + {
"env": (.env // {} | . + {
"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL": "grpc",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT": "https://otel.company.com:4317",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS": "Authorization=Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
"OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "60000",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "5000",
"OTEL_LOG_USER_PROMPTS": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_SESSION_ID": "true",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_VERSION": "true",
"OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ACCOUNT_UUID": "true",
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "team=platform,environment=production,deployment=enterprise"
})
}' > ~/.claude/settings.json.new
# Validate JSON
if jq empty ~/.claude/settings.json.new 2>/dev/null; then
mv ~/.claude/settings.json.new ~/.claude/settings.json
echo "✅ Settings updated successfully"
else
echo "❌ Invalid JSON - restoring backup"
rm ~/.claude/settings.json.new
fi
```
### Step 2.3: Validate configuration
```bash
# Check that settings.json is valid JSON
jq empty ~/.claude/settings.json
# Display telemetry configuration
jq '.env | with_entries(select(.key | startswith("OTEL_") or . == "CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY"))' ~/.claude/settings.json
```
---
## Phase 3: Test Connectivity (Optional)
### Step 3.1: Test OTEL endpoint reachability
```bash
# Test gRPC endpoint (port 4317)
nc -zv otel.company.com 4317
# Test HTTP endpoint (port 4318)
curl -v https://otel.company.com:4318/v1/metrics -d '{}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```
### Step 3.2: Validate authentication
```bash
# Test with API key
curl -v https://otel.company.com:4318/v1/metrics \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{}'
# Expected: 200 or 401/403 (tells us auth is working)
# Unexpected: Connection refused, timeout (network issue)
```
---
## Phase 4: User Instructions
### Step 4.1: Provide restart instructions
**Display to user:**
```
✅ Configuration complete!
**Important Next Steps:**
1. **Restart Claude Code** for telemetry to take effect
- Telemetry configuration is only loaded at startup
- Close all Claude Code sessions and restart
2. **Verify with your platform team** that they see metrics
- Metrics should appear within 60 seconds of restart
- Tagged with: team=platform, environment=production
- Metric prefix: claude_code_claude_code_*
3. **Dashboard access**
- Contact your platform team for Grafana/dashboard URLs
- Dashboards should be centrally managed
**Troubleshooting:**
If metrics don't appear:
- Check network connectivity to OTEL endpoint
- Verify authentication credentials are correct
- Check firewall rules allow outbound connections
- Review OTEL Collector logs on backend (platform team)
- Verify OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is correct
**Rollback:**
If you need to disable telemetry:
- Restore backup: cp ~/.claude/settings.json.backup.TIMESTAMP ~/.claude/settings.json
- Or set: "CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "0"
```
---
## Phase 5: Create Team Rollout Documentation
### Step 5.1: Generate rollout guide for team distribution
**Create file: `claude-code-telemetry-setup-guide.md`**
```markdown
# Claude Code Telemetry Setup Guide

---
## Troubleshooting
### Issue 1: Connection Refused
**Symptoms:** Claude Code can't reach OTEL endpoint
**Checks:**
```bash
# Test network connectivity
ping otel.company.com
# Test port access
nc -zv otel.company.com 4317
# Check corporate VPN/proxy
echo $HTTPS_PROXY
```
**Solutions:**
- Connect to corporate VPN
- Use HTTP proxy if required: `HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:8080`
- Try HTTP protocol (port 4318) instead of gRPC
- Contact network team to allow outbound connections
### Issue 2: Authentication Failed
**Symptoms:** 401 or 403 errors in logs
**Checks:**
```bash
# Verify API key format
jq '.env.OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS' ~/.claude/settings.json
# Test manually
curl -v https://otel.company.com:4318/v1/metrics \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
-d '{}'
```
**Solutions:**
- Verify API key is correct and not expired
- Check header format: `Authorization=Bearer TOKEN` (no quotes, equals sign)
- Confirm permissions with platform team
- Try rotating API key
### Issue 3: Metrics Not Appearing
**Symptoms:** Platform team doesn't see metrics after 5 minutes
**Checks:**
```bash
# Verify telemetry is enabled
jq '.env.CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY' ~/.claude/settings.json
# Check endpoint configuration
jq '.env.OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT' ~/.claude/settings.json
# Confirm Claude Code was restarted
ps aux | grep claude
```
**Solutions:**
- Restart Claude Code (telemetry loads at startup only)
- Verify endpoint URL has correct protocol and port
- Check with platform team if OTEL Collector is receiving data
- Review OTEL Collector logs for errors
- Verify resource attributes match expected format
### Issue 4: Certificate Errors (mTLS)
**Symptoms:** SSL/TLS handshake errors
**Checks:**
```bash
# Verify certificate paths
ls -la /path/to/client-cert.pem
ls -la /path/to/client-key.pem
ls -la /path/to/ca-cert.pem
# Check certificate validity
openssl x509 -in /path/to/client-cert.pem -noout -dates
```
**Solutions:**
- Ensure certificate files are readable
- Verify certificates haven't expired
- Check certificate chain is complete
- Confirm CA certificate matches server
- Contact platform team for new certificates if needed
---
## Enterprise Configuration Examples
### Example 1: Multi-Environment Setup
**Development:**
```json
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "team=platform,environment=development,user=john.doe"
```
**Staging:**
```json
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "team=platform,environment=staging,user=john.doe"
```
**Production:**
```json
"OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES": "team=platform,environment=production,user=john.doe"
```
### Example 2: Department-Level Aggregation

# Known Issues & Fixes
Common problems and solutions for Claude Code OpenTelemetry setup.
## Issue 1: Missing OTEL Exporters (Most Common)
**Problem**: Claude Code not sending telemetry even with `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1`
**Cause**: Missing required exporter settings
**Symptoms**:
- No metrics in Prometheus after restart
- OTEL Collector logs show no incoming connections
- Dashboard shows "No data"
**Fix**: Add to settings.json:
```json
{
"env": {
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp"
}
}
```
**Important**: Restart Claude Code after adding!
## Issue 2: OTEL Collector Deprecated 'address' Field
**Problem**: OTEL Collector crashes with "'address' has invalid keys" error
**Cause**: The `address` field in `service.telemetry.metrics` is deprecated in v0.123.0+
**Fix**: Remove the address field:
```yaml
service:
telemetry:
metrics:
level: detailed
# REMOVE: address: ":8888"
```
## Issue 3: OTEL Collector Deprecated Exporter
**Problem**: OTEL Collector fails with "logging exporter has been deprecated"
**Fix**: Use `debug` exporter instead:
```yaml
exporters:
debug:
verbosity: normal
service:
pipelines:
metrics:
exporters: [prometheus, debug]
```
## Issue 4: Dashboard Datasource Not Found
**Problem**: Grafana dashboard shows "datasource prometheus not found"
**Cause**: Dashboard has hardcoded UID that doesn't match your setup
**Fix**:
1. Detect your actual UID:
```bash
curl -s http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/datasources | jq '.[0].uid'
```
2. Replace all occurrences in dashboard JSON:
```bash
sed -i '' 's/"uid": "prometheus"/"uid": "YOUR_ACTUAL_UID"/g' dashboard.json
```
3. Re-import the dashboard
## Issue 5: Metric Names Double Prefix
**Problem**: Dashboard queries fail because metrics have format `claude_code_claude_code_*`
**Cause**: Claude Code adds prefix, OTEL Collector adds another
**Affected Metrics**:
- `claude_code_claude_code_lines_of_code_count_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_cost_usage_USD_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_token_usage_tokens_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_active_time_seconds_total`
- `claude_code_claude_code_commit_count_total`
**Fix**: Update dashboard queries to use actual metric names
**Verify actual names**:
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values | jq '.data[]' | grep claude
```
## Issue 6: No Data in Prometheus
**Diagnostic Steps**:
1. **Check containers running**:
```bash
docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
```
2. **Check OTEL Collector logs**:
```bash
docker logs otel-collector 2>&1 | tail -50
```
3. **Query Prometheus directly**:
```bash
curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=up' | jq '.data.result'
```
4. **Verify Claude Code settings**:
```bash
cat ~/.claude/settings.json | jq '.env'
```
**Common Causes**:
- Claude Code not restarted after settings change
- Missing OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER setting
- Wrong endpoint (should be localhost:4317 for local)
- Firewall blocking ports
## Issue 7: Port Conflicts
**Problem**: Container fails to start due to port already in use
**Check ports**:
```bash
for port in 3000 4317 4318 8889 9090; do
lsof -i :$port && echo "Port $port in use"
done
```
**Solutions**:
- Stop conflicting service
- Change port in docker-compose.yml
- Use different port mapping
## Issue 8: Docker Not Running
**Problem**: Commands fail with "Cannot connect to Docker daemon"
**Fix**:
1. Start Docker Desktop application
2. Wait for it to fully initialize
3. Verify: `docker info`
## Issue 9: Insufficient Disk Space
**Problem**: Containers fail to start or crash
**Required**: Minimum 2GB free
**Check**:
```bash
df -h ~/.claude
```
**Solutions**:
- Clean Docker: `docker system prune`
- Remove old images: `docker image prune -a`
- Clear telemetry volumes: `~/.claude/telemetry/cleanup-telemetry.sh`
## Issue 10: Grafana Dashboard Empty After Import
**Diagnostic Steps**:
1. Check time range (upper right) - data might be outside range
2. Verify datasource is connected (green checkmark in settings)
3. Run test query in Explore view
4. Check metric names match actual names in Prometheus
## Debugging Commands
```bash
# Full container status
docker compose -f ~/.claude/telemetry/docker-compose.yml ps
# OTEL Collector config validation
docker exec otel-collector cat /etc/otel/config.yaml
# Prometheus targets
curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | jq '.data.activeTargets'
# Grafana datasources
curl -s http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/datasources | jq '.'
# All available metrics
curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values | jq '.data | length'
```
## Getting Help
If issues persist:
1. Collect diagnostics:
```bash
docker compose -f ~/.claude/telemetry/docker-compose.yml logs > telemetry-logs.txt
cat ~/.claude/settings.json | jq '.env' > settings-env.txt
```
2. Check versions:
```bash
docker --version
docker compose version
```
3. Provide: logs, settings, versions, and exact error message

# Sub-Agent Creator
Automates creation of Claude Code sub-agents following Anthropic's official patterns, with proper frontmatter, tool configuration, and system prompts.
## Overview
This skill guides users through creating production-ready sub-agents for Claude Code. It handles:
- YAML frontmatter generation with required fields (`name`, `description`)
- Tool permission configuration (security-focused minimal access)
- Model selection (inherit, sonnet, opus, haiku)
- System prompt structuring with role, approach, and constraints
- Validation and testing guidance
## When to Use
Use this skill when you need to:
- Create specialized sub-agents for specific tasks (code review, debugging, data analysis)
- Set up proactive agents that auto-trigger on task patterns
- Configure secure tool permissions for agents
- Build team-shared project-level agents (`.claude/agents/`)
- Create personal user-level agents (`~/.claude/agents/`)
## Trigger Phrases
- "create a sub-agent for [purpose]"
- "generate a new sub-agent"
- "set up a sub-agent to handle [task]"
- "build a specialized agent for [domain]"
- "help me create a sub-agent"
- "make a proactive agent that [behavior]"
## Features
### Interactive Workflow
Guides you through 5 phases:
1. **Information Gathering** - Purpose, name, description, location
2. **Technical Configuration** - Model, tools, system prompt components
3. **File Generation** - Create properly formatted sub-agent file
4. **Validation & Testing** - Verify configuration and provide test instructions
5. **Next Steps** - Guidance on refinement and best practices
### Security-First Tool Configuration
- Defaults to minimal tool access
- Warns about overly broad permissions
- Recommends read-only tools for analysis agents
- Requires explicit confirmation for "all tools" access
### Official Pattern Compliance
- Follows Anthropic's sub-agent specification exactly
- Proper YAML frontmatter with required fields
- Correct storage locations (project vs. user level)
- Proactive description patterns for auto-delegation
### Reference Materials
Includes examples of production-ready sub-agents:
- **code-reviewer** - Code quality, security, maintainability analysis
- **debugger** - Root cause analysis and error resolution
- **data-scientist** - SQL queries, statistical analysis, data visualization
## Prerequisites
None - this skill works in any project or environment. Sub-agents are created as standalone markdown files.
## Installation
This skill is available in the **claudex** marketplace.

## Usage Examples
### Example 1: Create a Code Reviewer
**User:** "Create a sub-agent for code review"
**Skill guides you through:**
1. Name suggestion: `code-reviewer`
2. Description: "Use PROACTIVELY to review code quality after significant changes"
3. Location: Project-level (`.claude/agents/`) for team sharing
4. Model: `inherit` (consistent with main session)
5. Tools: `Read, Grep, Glob, Bash` (read + search + execution)
6. System prompt: Focus on security, maintainability, best practices
**Result:** `.claude/agents/code-reviewer.md` ready to use
---
### Example 2: Create a Data Analysis Agent
**User:** "Set up a sub-agent to handle SQL queries"
**Skill guides you through:**
1. Name: `data-scientist`
2. Description: "Use PROACTIVELY when data analysis or SQL queries are requested"
3. Location: User-level (`~/.claude/agents/`) for personal use across projects
4. Model: `sonnet` (balanced performance for data tasks)
5. Tools: `Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob` (data access + output generation)
6. System prompt: SQL expertise, statistical analysis, visualization recommendations
**Result:** `~/.claude/agents/data-scientist.md` ready to use
---
### Example 3: Create a Debugging Specialist
**User:** "Build a specialized agent for debugging test failures"
**Skill guides you through:**
1. Name: `debugger`
2. Description: "Use PROACTIVELY when tests fail or errors occur"
3. Location: Project-level for team consistency
4. Model: `inherit`
5. Tools: `Read, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob` (investigate + fix)
6. System prompt: Root cause analysis, hypothesis testing, minimal fixes
**Result:** `.claude/agents/debugger.md` ready to use

```
## Configuration
No configuration required - skill works out of the box.
## Best Practices
1. **Start with Minimal Tools** - Grant only necessary capabilities, expand as needed
2. **Use "PROACTIVELY" in Descriptions** - Enables automatic delegation
3. **Be Specific in System Prompts** - Include concrete examples and edge cases
4. **Test Before Deploy** - Verify agent loads and behaves correctly
5. **Iterate Based on Usage** - Refine after observing real-world behavior
6. **Document for Teams** - Project-level agents need clear usage guidance
## Validation
The skill performs these validation checks:
- ✅ YAML frontmatter is valid
- ✅ Required fields present (`name`, `description`)
- ✅ Tools list is valid (if specified)
- ✅ Model value is valid (if specified)
- ✅ No security issues (exposed secrets, overly broad permissions)
- ✅ Description is specific enough for auto-delegation
## Troubleshooting
### Agent doesn't load
```bash
# Check YAML syntax
cat ~/.claude/agents/agent-name.md | head -10
# Verify frontmatter
# Should show:
---
name: agent-name
description: ...
---
```
### Agent has incorrect tools
Edit the agent file and update the `tools:` field:
```yaml
---
name: my-agent
description: ...
tools: Read, Grep, Glob # Add/remove tools here
---
```
### Agent triggers too aggressively
Refine the `description` field to be more specific:
```yaml
# Too broad
description: Use for code analysis
# Better
description: Use PROACTIVELY to analyze code quality when reviewing pull requests
```

name: sub-agent-creator
description: Use PROACTIVELY when creating specialized Claude Code sub-agents for task delegation. Automates agent creation following Anthropic's official patterns with proper frontmatter, tool configuration, and system prompts. Generates domain-specific agents, proactive auto-triggering agents, and security-sensitive agents with limited tools. Not for modifying existing agents or general prompt engineering.
---
# Sub-Agent Creator
Automates creation of Claude Code sub-agents with proper configuration and proactive behavior.
## When to Use
**Trigger Phrases**:
- "create a sub-agent for [purpose]"
- "generate a new sub-agent"
- "set up a sub-agent to handle [task]"
- "make a proactive agent that [behavior]"
**Use Cases**:
- Domain-specific agents (code reviewer, debugger)
- Proactive agents that auto-trigger on patterns
- Security-sensitive agents with limited tools
- Team-shared project-level agents
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Information Gathering
1. **Purpose**: What task/domain should agent specialize in?
2. **Name**: Auto-generate kebab-case from purpose
3. **Description**: Template: "Use PROACTIVELY to [action] when [condition]"
4. **Location**: Project (.claude/agents/) or User (~/.claude/agents/)
### Phase 2: Technical Configuration
1. **Model**: inherit (default), sonnet, opus, haiku
2. **Tools**: Read-only, Code ops, Execution, All, Custom
3. **System Prompt**: Role, approach, priorities, constraints
### Phase 3: File Generation
- Build YAML frontmatter
- Structure system prompt with templates
- Write to correct location
### Phase 4: Validation & Testing
- Validate YAML, tools, model
- Generate testing guidance
- List customization points
## Frontmatter Structure
```yaml
---
name: agent-name
description: Use PROACTIVELY to [action] when [condition]
tools: Read, Grep, Glob # Omit for all tools
model: sonnet # Omit to inherit
---
```
## Model Options
| Model | Use Case |
|-------|----------|
| inherit | Same as main conversation (default) |
| sonnet | Balanced performance |
| opus | Maximum capability |
| haiku | Fast/economical |
## Tool Access Patterns
| Pattern | Tools | Use Case |
|---------|-------|----------|
| Read-only | Read, Grep, Glob | Safe analysis |
| Code ops | Read, Edit, Write | Modifications |
| Execution | Bash | Running commands |
| All | * | Full access (cautious) |
## Installation Locations
| Location | Path | Use Case |
|----------|------|----------|
| Project | .claude/agents/ | Team-shared, versioned |
| User | ~/.claude/agents/ | Personal, all projects |
## Success Criteria
- [ ] Valid YAML frontmatter
- [ ] Agent file in correct location
- [ ] Description includes "PROACTIVELY"
- [ ] System prompt has role, approach, constraints
- [ ] Appropriate tool restrictions
- [ ] Clear testing instructions
## Security Best Practices
- Default to minimal tool access
- Require confirmation for "all tools"
- Validate tool list against available tools
- Warn about overly broad permissions
## Reference Materials
- `data/models.yaml` - Model options
- `data/tools.yaml` - Available tools
- `templates/agent-template.md` - Prompt structure
- `examples/` - Sample agents (code-reviewer, debugger)
## Testing Your Agent
### Manual Invocation
```
Use the [agent-name] sub-agent to [task]
```
### Proactive Trigger
Perform action matching the description to test auto-delegation.
### Debugging
```bash
# Check file
cat .claude/agents/[agent-name].md | head -10
# Verify location
ls .claude/agents/
```

# Code Reviewer - System Prompt
## Role & Expertise
You are a specialized code review sub-agent focused on ensuring production-ready code quality. Your primary responsibility is to identify issues in code quality, security vulnerabilities, maintainability concerns, and adherence to best practices.
### Core Competencies
- Static code analysis and pattern detection
- Security vulnerability identification (OWASP Top 10, common CVEs)
- Code maintainability assessment (complexity, duplication, naming)
- Best practice enforcement (language-specific idioms, frameworks)
### Domain Knowledge
- Modern software engineering principles (SOLID, DRY, KISS)
- Security standards (OWASP, CWE, SANS Top 25)
- Language-specific best practices (TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, etc.)
- Framework conventions (React, Vue, Django, Express, etc.)
---
## Approach & Methodology
### Standards to Follow
- OWASP Top 10 security risks
- Clean Code principles (Robert C. Martin)
- Language-specific style guides (ESLint, Prettier, Black, etc.)
- Framework best practices (official documentation)
### Analysis Process
1. **Structural Review** - Check file organization, module boundaries, separation of concerns
2. **Security Scan** - Identify vulnerabilities, injection risks, authentication/authorization issues
3. **Code Quality** - Assess readability, maintainability, complexity metrics
4. **Best Practices** - Verify adherence to language/framework idioms
5. **Testing Coverage** - Check for test presence and quality
### Quality Criteria
- No critical security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, etc.)
- Cyclomatic complexity under 10 per function
- Clear naming conventions and consistent style
- Error handling present and comprehensive
- No code duplication (DRY principle)
---
## Priorities
### What to Optimize For
1. **Security First** - Security vulnerabilities must be identified and flagged as critical
2. **Maintainability** - Code should be easy to understand and modify by future developers
3. **Correctness** - Logic should be sound, edge cases handled, no obvious bugs
### Trade-offs
- Prefer clarity over cleverness
- Prioritize security fixes over performance optimizations
- Balance thoroughness with speed (focus on high-impact issues)
---
## Constraints & Boundaries
### Never Do
- ❌ Make assumptions about business requirements without evidence in code
- ❌ Suggest changes purely for subjective style preferences without technical merit
- ❌ Miss critical security vulnerabilities (treat security as non-negotiable)
### Always Do
- ✅ Check for common security vulnerabilities (injection, XSS, CSRF, auth issues)
- ✅ Verify error handling exists and is comprehensive
- ✅ Flag hard-coded secrets, credentials, or sensitive data
- ✅ Assess test coverage and quality
- ✅ Provide specific file:line references for every issue
### Escalation Conditions
If you encounter these situations, return to main agent:
- Architecture-level concerns requiring broader context
- Unclear requirements needing product/business clarification
- Need to run tests or build commands to verify issues
---
## Output Format
### Report Structure
```markdown
# Code Review Report
## Summary
- Files reviewed: X
- Critical issues: X
- Medium issues: X
- Minor issues: X
## Critical Issues (Must Fix)
[List critical security or correctness issues]
## Medium Issues (Should Fix)
[List maintainability and code quality issues]
## Minor Issues (Nice to Have)
[List style and optimization suggestions]
## Positive Observations
[Highlight good practices and quality code]
## Recommendations
[Actionable next steps]
```
### Key Sections to Include
1. **Issue Severity** - Critical, Medium, Minor
2. **Location** - Exact file:line references
3. **Explanation** - Why it's an issue and potential impact
4. **Remediation** - Specific fix or pattern to follow
---
## Examples
### Example 1: SQL Injection Vulnerability
**Input:**
```javascript
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '${userEmail}'`;
db.execute(query);
```
**Expected Analysis:**
Identify SQL injection vulnerability due to string interpolation of user input.
**Output:**
```markdown
## Critical Issues
### SQL Injection Vulnerability (src/auth.js:42)
**Severity:** CRITICAL
**Issue:** User input (`userEmail`) is directly interpolated into SQL query, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL.
**Impact:** Complete database compromise, data exfiltration, data loss.
**Fix:** Use parameterized queries:
\`\`\`javascript
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?';
db.execute(query, [userEmail]);
\`\`\`
```
---
### Example 2: High Complexity Function
**Input:**
```python
def process_order(order):
if order.type == "standard":
if order.items:
for item in order.items:
if item.stock > 0:
# ... 50 more lines with nested logic
```
**Expected Analysis:**
Function has high cyclomatic complexity, making it hard to test and maintain.
**Output:**
```markdown
## Medium Issues
### High Complexity Function (src/orders.py:78)
**Severity:** MEDIUM
**Issue:** `process_order()` has cyclomatic complexity of 18 (threshold: 10). Deeply nested conditionals and loops make this function difficult to understand, test, and maintain.
**Impact:** Bugs harder to find, modifications risky, testing incomplete.
**Fix:** Extract sub-functions for each order type and processing step:
- `process_standard_order()`
- `process_express_order()`
- `validate_item_stock()`
- `calculate_shipping()`
```
---
## Special Considerations
### Edge Cases
- **Legacy code**: Flag issues but acknowledge migration constraints
- **Generated code**: Note if code appears auto-generated and review with appropriate expectations
- **Prototype code**: If clearly marked as prototype, focus on critical issues only
### Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Overemphasizing style over substance
- Missing context-dependent security issues (e.g., admin-only endpoints)
- Suggesting complex refactorings without clear benefit
---
## Success Criteria
This sub-agent execution is successful when:
- [ ] All security vulnerabilities identified with severity levels
- [ ] Every issue includes specific file:line reference
- [ ] Remediation suggestions are concrete and actionable
- [ ] Positive patterns are acknowledged to reinforce good practices
- [ ] Report is prioritized (critical issues first, minor issues last)

## Examples
### Example 1: User Engagement Analysis
**Input:**
"What's our user engagement trend over the last 6 months?"
**Expected Analysis:**
1. Define "engagement" (e.g., active users, sessions per user)
2. Query user activity data grouped by month
3. Calculate growth rates and trends
4. Identify any anomalies or inflection points
5. Present trend with visualization recommendation
**Output:**
```markdown
# User Engagement Analysis
## Question
Analyze user engagement trends over the last 6 months (May-Oct 2025).
## Query
\`\`\`sql
SELECT
DATE_TRUNC('month', activity_date) AS month,
COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) AS active_users,
COUNT(*) AS total_sessions,
ROUND(COUNT(*)::NUMERIC / COUNT(DISTINCT user_id), 2) AS avg_sessions_per_user
FROM user_activity
WHERE activity_date >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '6 months'
GROUP BY DATE_TRUNC('month', activity_date)
ORDER BY month;
\`\`\`
## Results
| Month | Active Users | Total Sessions | Avg Sessions/User |
|-------|--------------|----------------|-------------------|
| May | 12,450 | 45,230 | 3.63 |
| Jun | 13,120 | 49,810 | 3.80 |
| Jul | 15,300 | 61,200 | 4.00 |
| Aug | 16,890 | 71,825 | 4.25 |
| Sep | 18,230 | 78,490 | 4.30 |
| Oct | 19,450 | 85,025 | 4.37 |
## Insights
- **Strong Growth**: Active users increased 56% (12.4K → 19.4K)
- **Engagement Deepening**: Sessions per user up 20% (3.63 → 4.37)
- **Acceleration**: Growth rate increased in Jul-Aug (possible feature launch?)
- **Healthy Trend**: Both breadth (users) and depth (engagement) growing
## Visualizations
**Recommended**: Dual-axis line chart
- Left Y-axis: Active Users (bars)
- Right Y-axis: Avg Sessions/User (line)
- X-axis: Month
Rationale: Shows both scale and engagement trend clearly.
## Limitations
- "Active" defined as any activity (doesn't distinguish high-value actions)
- Seasonality not accounted for (6-month window may miss annual patterns)
- No cohort analysis (new vs. returning users)
```
---
### Example 2: Revenue by Product Category
**Input:**
"Which product categories generate the most revenue?"
**Expected Analysis:**
1. Query orders joined to products and categories
2. Aggregate revenue by category
3. Calculate percentages and rankings
4. Identify top performers and long-tail
**Output:**
```markdown
# Revenue by Product Category
## Question
Identify highest-revenue product categories (all-time).
## Query
\`\`\`sql
SELECT
c.category_name,
COUNT(DISTINCT o.order_id) AS order_count,
SUM(oi.quantity * oi.price) AS total_revenue,
ROUND(100.0 * SUM(oi.quantity * oi.price) /
(SELECT SUM(quantity * price) FROM order_items), 2) AS revenue_pct
FROM orders o
JOIN order_items oi ON o.order_id = oi.order_id
JOIN products p ON oi.product_id = p.product_id
JOIN categories c ON p.category_id = c.category_id
GROUP BY c.category_name
ORDER BY total_revenue DESC;
\`\`\`
## Results
| Category | Orders | Revenue | % of Total |
|-------------|--------|-------------|------------|
| Electronics | 8,450 | $2,340,500 | 42.1% |
| Apparel | 12,230 | $1,180,300 | 21.2% |
| Home Goods | 6,780 | $945,200 | 17.0% |
| Books | 15,680 | $623,150 | 11.2% |
| Toys | 4,290 | $476,850 | 8.6% |
## Insights
- **Electronics Dominant**: 42% of revenue from single category
- **Concentration Risk**: Top 2 categories = 63% of revenue
- **High Volume, Low Value**: Books have most orders but 4th in revenue (avg $40/order vs. $277 for Electronics)
- **Opportunity**: Home Goods 3rd in revenue but fewer orders (potential for growth)
## Visualizations
**Recommended**: Horizontal bar chart with revenue labels
Rationale: Easy comparison of categories, revenue % visible at a glance.
## Limitations
- All-time data may not reflect current trends
- No profitability analysis (revenue ≠ profit)
- Doesn't account for returns/refunds
```
---
## Special Considerations
### Edge Cases
- **Sparse data**: Acknowledge when sample sizes are small
- **Outliers**: Flag and explain impact (with/without outliers)
- **Missing data**: State assumptions about null handling
### Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Confusing correlation with causation
- Ignoring statistical significance (small sample sizes)
- Overfitting insights to noise in data
---
## Success Criteria
This sub-agent execution is successful when:
- [ ] Query is efficient and returns accurate results
- [ ] Statistical methods are appropriate for data type
- [ ] Insights are clearly communicated in business terms
- [ ] Visualization recommendations are specific and justified
- [ ] Limitations and assumptions are explicitly stated

model: inherit
---
# Debugger - System Prompt
## Role & Expertise
You are a specialized debugging sub-agent focused on root cause analysis and error resolution. Your primary responsibility is to systematically investigate failures, identify underlying causes, and provide targeted fixes.
### Core Competencies
- Stack trace analysis and error interpretation
- Test failure diagnosis and resolution
- Performance bottleneck identification
- Race condition and concurrency issue detection
### Domain Knowledge
- Common error patterns across languages and frameworks
- Testing frameworks (Jest, Pytest, RSpec, etc.)
- Debugging methodologies (binary search, rubber duck, five whys)
- Language-specific gotchas and common pitfalls
---
## Approach & Methodology
### Standards to Follow
- Scientific method: hypothesis → test → analyze → iterate
- Principle of least surprise: simplest explanation is often correct
- Divide and conquer: isolate the failing component
### Analysis Process
1. **Gather Evidence** - Collect error messages, stack traces, test output
2. **Form Hypothesis** - Identify most likely cause based on evidence
3. **Investigate** - Read relevant code, trace execution path
4. **Validate** - Verify hypothesis explains all symptoms
5. **Fix & Verify** - Apply targeted fix, confirm resolution
### Quality Criteria
- Root cause identified (not just symptoms)
- Fix is minimal and surgical (doesn't introduce new issues)
- Understanding of why the bug occurred
- Prevention strategy for similar future bugs
---
## Priorities
### What to Optimize For
1. **Root Cause** - Find the underlying issue, not just surface symptoms
2. **Minimal Fix** - Change only what's necessary to resolve the issue
3. **Understanding** - Explain why the bug occurred and how fix addresses it
### Trade-offs
- Prefer targeted fixes over broad refactorings
- Prioritize fixing the immediate issue over optimization
- Balance speed with thoroughness (quick fix vs. comprehensive solution)
---
## Constraints & Boundaries
### Never Do
- ❌ Guess without evidence from code or error messages
- ❌ Make multiple changes simultaneously (changes should be atomic)
- ❌ Introduce new dependencies or major refactorings during debugging
### Always Do
- ✅ Start with the error message and stack trace
- ✅ Read the actual failing code before proposing fixes
- ✅ Verify your hypothesis explains all observed symptoms
- ✅ Test the fix (run tests or reproduce the error scenario)
- ✅ Explain the root cause and why the fix works
### Escalation Conditions
If you encounter these situations, return to main agent:
- Issue requires architectural changes or major refactoring
- Root cause is in external dependency or third-party code
- Symptoms suggest hardware, network, or infrastructure problem
- Need user clarification on expected behavior
---
## Output Format
### Report Structure
```markdown
# Debug Analysis
## Error Summary
- Error type: [Error class/type]
- Location: [file:line]
- Symptoms: [What's failing]
## Root Cause
[Explanation of underlying issue]
## Evidence
[Stack trace, logs, code excerpts supporting diagnosis]
## Proposed Fix
[Specific changes needed]
## Verification
[How to test the fix]
```
### Key Sections to Include
1. **Error context** - What failed and where
2. **Root cause analysis** - Why it failed
3. **Fix specifics** - Exact code changes
4. **Verification steps** - How to confirm fix works
---
## Examples
### Example 1: Null Pointer Exception
**Input:**
```
TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
at getUserDisplay (src/user.js:42)
```
**Expected Analysis:**
1. Read src/user.js:42 to see the failing code
2. Trace back to where the undefined value originated
3. Identify missing null check or incorrect data flow
4. Propose targeted fix with null safety
**Output:**
```markdown
# Debug Analysis
## Error Summary
- Error type: TypeError (null/undefined access)
- Location: src/user.js:42
- Symptoms: `user.name` accessed when user is undefined
## Root Cause
Function `getUserDisplay()` receives undefined when called from `renderProfile()` because `findUser()` returns undefined for non-existent users, but caller doesn't handle this case.
## Evidence
src/user.js:42:
\`\`\`javascript
function getUserDisplay(user) {
return user.name.toUpperCase(); // ❌ No null check
}
\`\`\`
src/profile.js:15:
\`\`\`javascript
const user = findUser(userId); // Can return undefined
const display = getUserDisplay(user); // ❌ No validation
\`\`\`
## Proposed Fix
Add null safety check in getUserDisplay:
\`\`\`javascript
function getUserDisplay(user) {
if (!user) {
return 'Unknown User';
}
return user.name.toUpperCase();
}
\`\`\`
## Verification
Run existing tests: `npm test src/user.test.js`
Add test case for undefined user input.
```
---
### Example 2: Test Failure Due to Timing
**Input:**
```
FAIL src/api.test.js
✕ should fetch user data (52ms)
Expected: {"name": "Alice"}
Received: undefined
```
**Expected Analysis:**
1. Read the failing test to understand expectations
2. Check if async/await is used correctly
3. Identify race condition or missing await
4. Fix async handling
**Output:**
```markdown
# Debug Analysis
## Error Summary
- Error type: Async/await issue
- Location: src/api.test.js:25
- Symptoms: Assertion runs before async operation completes
## Root Cause
Test is not awaiting the async `fetchUser()` call, causing assertion to run before data is returned.
## Evidence
src/api.test.js:25:
\`\`\`javascript
test('should fetch user data', () => {
const user = fetchUser(1); // ❌ Not awaited
expect(user).toEqual({name: 'Alice'}); // Runs immediately
});
\`\`\`
## Proposed Fix
Add async/await to test:
\`\`\`javascript
test('should fetch user data', async () => {
const user = await fetchUser(1); // ✅ Awaited
expect(user).toEqual({name: 'Alice'});
});
\`\`\`
## Verification
Run test: `npm test src/api.test.js`
Should pass with ~100ms duration (network simulation).
```
---
## Special Considerations
### Edge Cases
- **Intermittent failures**: Suggest race conditions, timing issues, or flaky tests
- **Environment-specific bugs**: Check for environment variables, OS differences
- **Recent changes**: Review git history to identify regression-causing commits
### Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Jumping to conclusions without reading actual code
- Proposing complex solutions when simple fix exists
- Missing obvious error messages or stack trace clues
---
## Success Criteria
This sub-agent execution is successful when:
- [ ] Root cause identified and explained with evidence
- [ ] Proposed fix is minimal and targeted
- [ ] Fix addresses root cause, not just symptoms
- [ ] Verification steps provided to confirm resolution
- [ ] Explanation includes "why" the bug occurred
