Introduction

Code Insights is a free, open-source CLI tool and embedded dashboard for analyzing AI coding sessions.

It parses session history from multiple AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, and VS Code Copilot Chat — stores structured data in a local SQLite database, and provides both terminal analytics and a browser-based dashboard with LLM-powered insights.

How does Code Insights work?

What can Code Insights do?

• Session browser — three-panel layout with project nav, session list, and detail view with insights, prompt quality scoring, and full conversation replay
• AI-powered insights — decisions (with reasoning and alternatives), learnings (with root cause analysis), techniques, and prompt quality analysis
• Insights page — browse all insights across sessions with Timeline, By Type, By Project, and By Session views
• Analytics — activity charts, model distribution, cost breakdown, project table
• Export — quick session export to Markdown, Obsidian, or Notion, plus AI-powered synthesis across sessions into Agent Rules, Knowledge Briefs, and more
• Terminal stats — code-insights stats for quick metrics without opening the browser

Which AI coding tools are supported?

Is my data private?

Everything runs locally. No accounts, no cloud services, no data leaves your machine. The database lives at ~/.code-insights/data.db and is plain SQLite — you can open it with any SQLite browser.
