## What it does

The skill opens `~/.claude/history.jsonl` and pulls entries from the last 24-48 hours. Each line holds the request text, the project, a timestamp and any pasted code. From that it works out which projects you touched, which languages and frameworks came up, what kinds of problems you solved and where you got stuck.

It then narrows things down to three to five improvement areas, each backed by evidence from your own conversations, and writes a report: a work summary, the gaps in priority order, strengths worth keeping and a short action list. Articles and threads on those topics come from HackerNews through Rube MCP. The finished report lands in your Slack direct messages.

Rube MCP is required for the resource step, so without it that part of the run fails. Anything older than two days falls outside the window, which makes right after a work session the sensible time to run it.

## Requirements
- Works with: Slack

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill development/developer-growth-analysis
```

2. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill developer-growth-analysis -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/developer-growth-analysis/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**

```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

gemini skills install https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates --path cli-tool/components/skills/development/developer-growth-analysis
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

- File: `.devin/skills/developer-growth-analysis/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/skills/development/developer-growth-analysis
