## What it does

This skill enforces the workflow for adding analytics cards to ClaudeBar. It handles metrics like token consumption or cost trends with period-over-period comparisons, such as today versus yesterday. Every report acts as a view over days fetched from `account.usageHistory?.days(in:)`. You do not write file-reading routines.

Work proceeds through structured phases. The agent drafts a diagram and an interface mockup in `design-concept/`, requesting approval via `AskUserQuestion`. Next comes test-driven development: writing a pure struct inside `Modules/Quotas` alongside tests named with the `should <outcome> [when <situation>]` convention. The card view simply presents what the report computes.

Calculations never run in the background. The engine builds reports exclusively when the menu bar popover opens. Modifying `UsageSnapshot` or placing parsers inside `Sources/Infrastructure` violates the architecture rules. Any unsupported log format requires an isolated reader inside `Modules/DataSources`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tddworks/ClaudeBar --skill add-report -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/add-report/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/add-report/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tddworks/ClaudeBar --skill add-report -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/add-report/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tddworks/ClaudeBar --skill add-report -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/add-report/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install tddworks/ClaudeBar add-report
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/add-report/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tddworks/ClaudeBar --skill add-report -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/tddworks/ClaudeBar --path .claude/skills/add-report
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/add-report/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tddworks/ClaudeBar --skill add-report -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/tddworks/ClaudeBar/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/add-report/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a week-over-week cost comparison card for ClaudeBar
- calculate token metrics across models from daily usage history
- generate mockups and diagrams before writing Swift code
- implement report calculation structs in the Quotas module using TDD

## Example prompts
- Add a weekly cost comparison card to ClaudeBar using the add-report workflow
- Design a 30-day token breakdown report for the current login
- Create the MonthlyReport struct in Quotas and write its unit tests

  Guide for adding new report cards to ClaudeBar that analyze local data sources and display
  metrics with comparison deltas. Use this skill when:
  (1) Adding a new report/analytics card (e.g., weekly summary, model breakdown, session stats)
  (2) Showing usage history in a new way, or reading another tool's usage logs
  (3) Adding comparison cards that show "today vs previous" style deltas
  (4) Building any feature that follows the DailyUsage pattern (days → report value → card)

# Add Report Card to ClaudeBar

Add report cards that turn a login's usage history into metrics with comparison
deltas, shown in the existing card style, test first.

## When to Use

This skill covers **report-style features** — cards that:
- Aggregate a login's days of usage (cost, tokens, time, sessions)
- Compare periods (today vs yesterday, this week vs last week)
- Read another tool's usage logs (as data in its definition)
- Display results in cards matching the existing UI

## First, which kind of report is it?

Usage history is data now ([daily-usage design](../../../docs/features/usage-history/daily-usage/design.md)).
A report is almost always a new **view over days the login already reads**, not new
reading code. Place it before anything else:

| The person wants… | It is | You write |
|---|---|---|
| a new look at usage this app already reads — this week vs last, cost per model, a 30-day chart | a **report over days**: the page asks `account.usageHistory?.days(in: range)` and a value in `Quotas` turns the days into the report | a `Quotas` value + its tests, a card. **No reading code** |
| the same history for another tool (its own log files) | a **`usageHistory` block** in that provider's definition | JSON (paths, `where`, fields, `prices`), its golden tests — no Swift |
| history from a log format no reader understands yet | a **new reader**, named for the format, in `Modules/DataSources/Sources/Internal/Logs/` | the reader, test-first in `DataSourcesTests`, then the JSON; a row in ENGINE_DESIGN §1 |
| an answer to a different question than "how much did I use?" | a **capability** (CANONICAL §2.1): declared in the definition, a handle on `Account` that is `nil` when not declared | design first; a runner outside the modules is supplied by the `Engine` (TARGET_ARCHITECTURE §10) |

**Never:** a field on `UsageSnapshot` (the kernel is shrinking toward `Usage`,
[CANONICAL_MODEL §6](../../../docs/architecture/CANONICAL_MODEL.md#6--what-is-deliberately-not-in-the-tree)),
an `XxxAnalyzer` / `XxxAnalyzing` protocol, a parser in `Sources/Infrastructure`, or a
vendor-named type in a module.
