Claude Code & Codex session analytics for dev teams
We connected 1,573 real Claude Code sessions and found that skills fire in only 4% of sessions, 26% get abandoned within 60 seconds, and error patterns in the first 2 minutes predict failure. So we turned it into Rudel and release it to the world. Rudel gives your dev team a dashboard for token usage, session patterns, session errors, and quality signals across every team member. Works also for Codex. It's free, open source and self-hostable.
Hola hunters! 👋
We built Rudel because we were embarrassed.
We spend $1.4k per month on Claude Code and are using it every day.
But we couldn't answer the most basic questions:
Which sessions actually moved the needle? Why did half of them just... die? Were we getting smarter with context management, or just lighting tokens on fire? What skills are missing? Are we using plan mode too much?
So we instrumented ourselves.
After like 1,573 sessions, 15M+ tokens, 270K+ interactions we found out:
- Skills triggered in only 4% of sessions even if configured. Claude (and Codex) just didn't use them...
- A quarter of sessions get abandoned , most within the first 60 seconds
- Error cascades in the first 2 minutes are the clearest predictor of abandonment
We launched on HN some weeks ago and got 144 points, 72+ comments. Turns out we were not alone, so we're launching this on Product Hunt now too!
Three commands to get started:
`npm install -g rudel` → `rudel login` → `rudel enable`
Fully open source. Self-hostable if you want to keep session data on your own infra.
We'd love your honest feedback. It is super early. Embarrasingly early
Now dig in and start rudeling.
