[Extension]: Add Analytics

Extension ID

analytics

Extension Name

Analytics

Version

v0.1.0

Description

Silently collects performance metrics in the background while you work. Every command you run is timed, and an LLM evaluates how long a human would have taken to produce the same result, giving you hard numbers on your productivity gains.

Next feats: cost tracking, chat history logging, iteration counts, and a live dashboard.
Goal: building the definitive measurement layer for AI-assisted software development using Spec kit.
