# ce-product-pulse

Builds a one-page report on how your product behaved over a chosen window: usage, performance, errors. Handy when you want a quick read without opening a dashboard.

## What it does

The skill queries your product's data sources for the window you pass in and writes a compact report to `<root>/pulse-reports/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM.md`, with the headlines echoed in chat. Expect 30–40 lines covering usage, performance, errors and followups. The window comes from the argument — `24h`, `7d`, `1h` — and falls back to the config value, then to `24h`. A 15-minute buffer is applied to the upper bound, since analytics and tracing tools often lag on ingestion.

Everything here is read-only. The product, the database and outside systems stay untouched; the only writes are pulse settings in `.compound-engineering/config.local.yaml` and the report file itself. A database connection has to be read-only, and the interview rejects credentials that can write. A database is optional anyway — analytics and tracing alone are enough for plenty of products. Saved reports carry no emails, account IDs or message content.

There are no thresholds and no good/bad labels: numbers go in as they are and the reader judges. A first run walks through an interview and stores settings; later runs go straight to the report. Every run is kept, so older pulses read as a timeline. This is not a dashboard replacement or a shipping log — deep investigation still belongs to your native tools.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin --skill ce-product-pulse -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin --skill ce-product-pulse -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin --skill ce-product-pulse -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin ce-product-pulse
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/ce-product-pulse/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin --skill ce-product-pulse -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin --path skills/ce-product-pulse
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin --skill ce-product-pulse -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/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/tree/HEAD/skills/ce-product-pulse/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- get a daily read on product usage
- spot an error spike after a deploy
- review how metrics moved over a week
- produce a short report without opening a dashboard
- browse past reports as a timeline

## Example prompts
- Run a pulse report for `7d`
- Generate a `ce-product-pulse` report for `24h`
- Give me a product pulse for `1h`

# Product Pulse

`ce-product-pulse` queries the product's data sources for a given time window and produces a compact, single-page report covering usage, performance, errors, and followups. The report is saved to `<root>/pulse-reports/` and the key points are shown in chat.

**Done:** a report of 30-40 lines exists at `<root>/pulse-reports/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM.md`, its headlines and top followup are in chat, and Phase 3 (Scheduling) has been reached.

## Boundaries

- **Read-only, everywhere.** The skill does not mutate the product, the database, or any external system. Its only writes are pulse settings appended to `.compound-engineering/config.local.yaml` (interview and opt-out writes stay on the local override) and the report file. MCP and other data-source tools are invoked read-only; if a tool offers write modes, do not use them. A database source must be a read-only connection — the interview refuses read-write credentials, and DB access is optional, since many products complete the pulse with analytics and tracing alone.
- **No PII in saved reports.** No user emails, account IDs, or message content in the file written to disk.
- **Read it like a founder.** No hardcoded thresholds, no default "good"/"bad" labels, no alerting: present the numbers and let the reader judge.
- **Single page.** Target 30-40 lines. If a section is thin, leave it thin; if the report is getting long, cut.
- **Not a shipping log or a dashboard replacement.** Shipped work lives in the issue tracker and commit history. Deep investigation still uses the native tools; this consolidates a single-page read, and every run is saved so past pulses browse as a timeline.
