installing-skill-tracker_skill

Overview

This skill installs Claude Code hooks that automatically measure skill usage across an agent project. It provides a quick setup to add tracking scripts, a verification step to confirm installation, and tooling to analyze usage after data is collected. Use it to establish basic monitoring and usage metrics for skills in a new project.

How this skill works

The setup script installs shell hook scripts and updates .claude configuration so calls to skills emit tracking events. A verify script checks for required files, settings, and the presence of jq for JSON inspection. After some skill activity, an analyzer script aggregates the emitted events into a usage report for review.

When to use it

• When onboarding a new project and you need skill usage telemetry.
• When you want automated, lightweight tracking of agent skill invocations.
• Before running usage analysis to ensure hooks are present and configured.
• When creating dashboards or reports that rely on invocation counts and metadata.

Best practices

• Run the setup script from your project root to ensure paths are written correctly.
• Immediately run the verify script after setup and before relying on metrics.
• Install jq on your system to make JSON checks and scripts work reliably.
• Re-run setup if verify reports missing files or misconfigured hooks.
• If verification still fails, stop and report the issue with logs and verify output.

Example use cases

• Add tracking to a newly scaffolded agent project to collect usage baseline data.
• Validate that CI or dev environments include the same hook configuration as production.
• Quickly audit whether hooks are installed before deploying telemetry-dependent features.
• Collect invocation counts to prioritize which skills need maintenance or optimization.
