What it does

Conversation Analyzer is an agent skill from mhattingpete/claude-skills-marketplace. Analyzes your Claude Code conversation history to identify patterns, common mistakes, and opportunities for workflow improvement. Use when user wants to understand usage patterns, optimize workflow, identify automation opportunities, or check if they're following best practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/analyze_history.py`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code Skills for software engineering workflows - Git automation, testing, and code review. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to understand usage patterns
  • Optimize workflow
  • Identify automation opportunities
  • Check if theyre following best practices

Example prompts

  • “Use the conversation-analyzer skill to analyz your Claude Code conversation history to identify patterns, common mistakes, and opportunities for…”
  • “/conversation-analyzer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Request Type Distribution
  2. Project Activity
  3. Time Patterns
  4. Common Mistakes
  5. Error Analysis
  6. Automation Opportunities

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b5b34bc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Conversation Analyzer loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 348 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Conversation Analyzer

Analyzes your Claude Code conversation history to identify patterns, common mistakes, and workflow improvement opportunities.

When to Use

  • "analyze my conversations"
  • "review my Claude Code history"
  • "what patterns do you see in my usage"
  • "how can I improve my workflow"
  • "am I using Claude Code effectively"

What It Analyzes

  1. Request type distribution (bug fixes, features, refactoring, queries, testing)
  2. Most active projects
  3. Common error keywords
  4. Time-of-day patterns
  5. Repetitive tasks (automation opportunities)
  6. Vague requests causing back-and-forth
  7. Complex tasks attempted without planning
  8. Recurring bugs/errors

Analysis Scope

Default: Last 200 conversations for recency and relevance.

Methodology

1. Request Type Distribution

Categorizes by: bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, information queries, testing, other.

2. Project Activity

Tracks which projects consume most time, identifies project-specific patterns.

3. Time Patterns

Hour-of-day usage distribution, identifies peak productivity times.

4. Common Mistakes
  • Vague requests: Initial requests lacking context vs. acceptable follow-ups
  • Repeated fixes: Same issues occurring multiple times
  • Complex tasks: Multi-step requests without planning
  • Repetitive commands: Manual tasks that could be automated
5. Error Analysis

Frequency of error-related requests, common error keywords, recurring problems.

6. Automation Opportunities

Identifies repeated exact requests, suggests skills, slash commands, or scripts.

Output

Structured report with:

  • Statistics: Request types, active projects, timing patterns
  • Patterns: Common tasks, repetitive commands, complexity indicators
  • Issues: Specific problems with examples
  • Recommendations: Prioritized, actionable improvements

Tools Used

  • Read: Load history file (~/.claude/history.jsonl)
  • Write: Create analysis reports if requested
  • Bash: Execute Python analysis script
  • Direct analysis: Parse JSON programmatically

Analysis Script

Uses scripts/analyze_history.py for comprehensive analysis:

Capabilities:

  • Loads and parses ~/.claude/history.jsonl
  • Analyzes patterns across multiple dimensions
  • Identifies common mistakes and inefficiencies
  • Generates actionable recommendations
  • Outputs detailed reports

Usage within skill: Runs automatically when user requests analysis.

Standalone usage:

bash
cd ~/.claude/plugins/*/productivity-skills/conversation-analyzer/scripts
python3 analyze_history.py

Outputs:

  • conversation_analysis.txt - Detailed pattern analysis
  • recommendations.txt - Specific improvement suggestions

Example Output

Analyzed last 200 conversations:
- 60% general tasks, 15% bug fixes, 13% feature additions
- Project "ultramerge" dominates 58% of activity
- Same test-fixing request made 8 times
- 19 multi-step requests without planning
- Peak productivity: 13:00-15:00

Recommendations:
- Use test-fixing skill for recurring test failures
- Create project-specific utilities for ultramerge
- Use feature-planning skill for complex requests
- Add tests to prevent recurring bugs
- Schedule complex work during peak hours

Success Criteria

  • User understands usage patterns
  • Concrete, actionable recommendations
  • Specific examples from history
  • Prioritized by impact (quick wins vs long-term)
  • User can immediately apply improvements

Integration

  • feature-planning: Implement recommended improvements
  • test-fixing: Address recurring test failures
  • git-pushing: Commit workflow improvements

Privacy Note

All analysis happens locally. Conversation history never leaves user's machine.
