We built rudel.ai after realizing we had no visibility into our own Claude Code sessions. We were using it daily but had no idea which sessions were efficient, why some got abandoned, or whether we were actually improving over time.So we built an analytics layer for it. After connecting our own sessions, we ended up with a dataset of 1,573 real Claude Code sessions, 15M+ tokens, 270K+ interactions.Some things we found that surprised us: - Skills were only being used in 4% of our sessions - 26% of sessions are abandoned, most within the first 60 seconds - Session success rate varies significantly by task type (documentation scores highest, refactoring lowest) - Error cascade patterns appear in the first 2 minutes and predict abandonment with reasonable accuracy - There is no meaningful benchmark for 'good' agentic session performance, we are building one.The tool is free to use and fully open source, happy to answer questions about the data or how we built it.
