Could you build this?
Partial An analytics dashboard and reverse proxy that logs LLM token usage is vibe-codeable, but capturing non-intrusive local IDE telemetry across fragmented developer tools without leaking source code requires deep systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires local client daemons or IDE plugins (VS Code, JetBrains, CLI wrappers) executing lightweight local inference models (ONNX/Llama.cpp) to extract semantic productivity metrics while preserving zero-data-retention guarantees. The proxy tier involves low-latency routing, context compression, and dynamic caching, backed by a time-series analytics backend (ClickHouse) and an enterprise management UI.
