Use cases

Measuring true active development time when using AI pair programmers Comparing efficiency gains between different AI agent configurations Detecting resource contention when running multiple coding assistant instances Visualizing code iteration patterns through churn metrics Monitoring process stability of long-running AI tool sessions

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Precise idle/active time differentiation in transcripts
  • Lightweight Bash/TypeScript implementation
  • Multi-instance detection prevents metric distortion
  • Trend visualization helps spot workflow patterns

Cons

  • Requires JSONL log parsing (Claude-specific format)
  • No GUI - purely CLI-based
  • Limited documentation on GitHub
  • Assumes familiarity with AI coding assistant outputs

Overview

cc-tempo is a CLI tool that analyzes AI agent usage logs (JSONL transcripts) to track active work time, excluding idle periods and tool waits. It calculates SubAgent speedup ratios, monitors process resilience via PID timers, and visualizes code-churn trends with sparklines. It also detects multi-instance interference in development workflows.

Problem it solves

Provides granular visibility into actual productive time vs. idle periods in AI-assisted coding sessions, helping developers optimize tool usage and identify inefficiencies.

Target audience: Developers and teams working with usage analytics cost tracking automation.
