vibestats 2.2.0

Why VibeStats?

Claude Code clears local session transcripts after 30 days by default (configurable via cleanupPeriodDays in ~/.claude/settings.json). Tools that read those JSONL files can only show what's still on disk — your stats silently shrink as old sessions age out.

VibeStats syncs aggregated daily stats — tokens, sessions, minutes, model breakdown, harness mix — to your private vibestats-data GitHub repo on every session, before that cleanup fires. The sync is non-destructive by design: once a day's stats are uploaded, they stay there indefinitely.

What that gets you:

• History past 30 days — months and years of usage stats, without changing Claude Code's defaults.
• Privacy by default — Claude Code's transcript cleanup keeps doing its thing; only small JSON aggregates ever leave your machine. No prompt or response content is stored or synced.
• Survives machine wipes and reinstalls — your archive lives in your private GitHub repo, not on your laptop.
• Per-machine breakdown — every machine writes its own slice; the aggregation step combines them into one heatmap.

What you get

A live heatmap on your GitHub profile (the embed above), and a full analytics dashboard at vibestats.dev/<your-username>:

Quickstart

Method 1: curl installer (recommended)

curl -fsSL https://vibestats.dev/install.sh | bash

The installer handles everything in one step:

• Creates a private vibestats-data repo in your GitHub account
• Installs the daily aggregation workflow
• Configures Claude Code and Codex hooks to sync after each session when those tools are installed
• Adds the heatmap to your profile README.md
• Runs an initial backfill of existing session data

Method 2: cargo install

If you already have a Rust toolchain set up and prefer crates.io:

# 1. Install the binary from crates.io
cargo install vibestats

# 2. Run the installer with --skip-binary to do the rest of the setup
#    (creates the vibestats-data repo, wires hooks, registers this machine)
curl -fsSL https://vibestats.dev/install.sh | bash -s -- --skip-binary

cargo install only ships the binary — the per-account setup (private data repo, daily workflow, hook wiring, profile-README markers) still has to run. The --skip-binary flag tells the installer to use the vibestats already on your PATH instead of downloading a release tarball.

Adding a second machine

On any additional machine, re-run the same install command. The installer detects the existing vibestats-data repo and registers the new machine without overwriting anything.

How it works

VibeStats has three components that work together:

1. CLI — installed locally, hooks into Claude Code and Codex to record session activity into a private vibestats-data GitHub repo after each session.
2. GitHub Action (stephenleo/vibestats@v2) — runs daily in your vibestats-data repo, aggregates the recorded sessions, and pushes an SVG heatmap to your GitHub profile repo.
3. Profile heatmap — the SVG is embedded in your profile README.md between marker comments, updated automatically.
