What it does

Usage Insights is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Generates user-facing usage statistics, activity summaries, and personalized insights dashboards (weekly recaps, year-in-review, Spotify Wrapped-style). Use when user wants to show usage stats, activity insights, or shareable recap screens. Different from analytics-setup which sends data to a backend — this shows insights to the USER on-device.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `templates.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. It works with Spotify and iOS. The repository describes itself as: SnapGrid is an open-source Mac app for collecting, organizing, and analyzing UI screenshots. It uses AI to automatically detect UI components and patterns, making it a powerful…

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Project Context Detection
Conflict Detection
Data Layer Detection
Read Templates
Create Core Data Files
Create Calculation Engine
Create UI Files
Create Optional Files
Determine File Location

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb7eaf4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Write
- Edit
- Glob
- Grep
- Bash
- AskUserQuestion
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are swift).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Usage Insights loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 796 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md

allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, AskUserQuestion

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 796 words (~2,946 tokens).

“Generate a production usage insights system that records user activity events with SwiftData, computes personalized insights (streaks, most active day, top categories), and displays them in a dashboard with insight cards, period pickers, trend indicators, and optional shareable recap screens.”
