About braintrust-analyze
braintrust-analyze examines Braintrust traces from Claude Code sessions for developers. It reports tool, agent, and skill usage, detects repeated-call loops, and summarizes activity and token trends.
Key features
- 01Break down tools and agents in a session
- 02List recent sessions and usage statistics
- 03Detect repeated tool-call loops
- 04Summarize daily and weekly activity
Use cases
- 01Review a session after a complex task
- 02Investigate why a task failed
- 03Track productivity and token trends

Details
From the project READMEBraintrust Analysis
Analyze your Claude Code sessions for patterns, issues, and insights using Braintrust tracing data.
When to Use
- After completing a complex task (retrospective)
- When debugging why something failed
- Weekly review of productivity patterns
- Finding opportunities to create new skills
- Understanding token usage trends
Commands
Run from the project directory:
# Analyze last session - summary with tool/agent/skill breakdown
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --last-session
# List recent sessions
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --sessions 5
# Agent usage statistics (last 7 days)
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --agent-stats
# Skill usage statistics (last 7 days)
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --skill-stats
# Detect loops - find repeated tool patterns (>5 same tool calls)
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --detect-loops
# Replay specific session - show full sequence of actions
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --replay <session-id>
# Weekly summary - daily activity breakdown
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --weekly-summary
# Token trends - usage over time
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/braintrust_analyze.py --token-trends
Options
--project NAME- Braintrust project name (default: agentica)
What You'll Learn
Session Analysis
- Tool usage breakdown
- Agent spawns (plan-agent, debug-agent, etc.)
- Skill activations (/commit, /research, etc.)
- Token consumption estimates
Loop Detection
Find sessions where the same tool was called repeatedly, which may indicate:
- Stuck in a search loop
- Inefficient approach
- Opportunity for better tooling
Usage Patterns
- Which agents you use most
- Which skills get activated
- Daily/weekly activity trends
Examples
