This skill provides personalized feedback on your recent coding work by analyzing your Claude Code chat interactions and identifying patterns that reveal strengths and areas for growth.
Use this skill when you want to:
This skill is ideal for developers who want structured feedback on their growth without waiting for code reviews, and who prefer data-driven insights from their own work history.
This skill performs a six-step analysis of your development work:
Reads Your Chat History: Accesses your local Claude Code chat history from the past 24-48 hours to understand what you've been working on.
Identifies Development Patterns: Analyzes the types of problems you're solving, technologies you're using, challenges you encounter, and how you approach different kinds of tasks.
Detects Improvement Areas: Recognizes patterns that suggest skill gaps, repeated struggles, inefficient approaches, or areas where you might benefit from deeper knowledge.
Generates a Personalized Report: Creates a comprehensive report showing your work summary, identified improvement areas, and specific recommendations for growth.
Finds Learning Resources: Uses HackerNews to curate high-quality articles and discussions directly relevant to your improvement areas, providing you with a reading list tailored to your actual development work.
Sends to Your Slack DMs: Automatically delivers the complete report to your own Slack direct messages so you can reference it anytime, anywhere.
Ask Claude to analyze your recent coding work:
Analyze my developer growth from my recent chats
Or be more specific about which time period:
Analyze my work from today and suggest areas for improvement
The skill will generate a formatted report with:
When a user requests analysis of their developer growth or coding patterns from recent work:
Access Chat History

display: The user's message/requestproject: The project being worked ontimestamp: Unix timestamp (in milliseconds)pastedContents: Any code or content pastedFilter for entries from the past 24-48 hours based on the current timestamp.
Analyze Work Patterns
Extract and analyze the following from the filtered chats:
Identify Improvement Areas
Based on the analysis, identify 3-5 specific areas where the user could improve. These should be:

# Your Developer Growth Report
**Report Period**: November 9-10, 2024
**Last Updated**: November 10, 2024, 9:15 PM UTC
## Work Summary
Over the past two days, you focused on backend infrastructure and API development. Your primary project was an open-source showcase application, where you made significant progress on connections management, UI improvements, and deployment configuration. You worked with TypeScript, React, and Node.js, tackling challenges ranging from data security to responsive design. Your work shows a balance between implementing features and addressing technical debt.
## Improvement Areas (Prioritized)
### 1. Advanced TypeScript Patterns and Type Safety
**Why This Matters**: TypeScript is central to your work, but leveraging its advanced features (generics, utility types, conditional types, type guards) can significantly improve code reliability and reduce runtime errors. Better type safety catches bugs at compile time rather than in production.
**What I Observed**: In your recent chats, you were working with connection data structures and struggled a few times with typing auth configurations properly. You also had to iterate on union types for different connection states. There's an opportunity to use discriminated unions and type guards more effectively.
**Recommendation**: Study TypeScript's advanced type system, particularly utility types (Omit, Pick, Record), conditional types, and discriminated unions. Apply these patterns to your connection configuration handling and auth state management.
**Time to Skill Up**: 5-8 hours of focused learning and practice
### 2. Secure Data Handling and Information Hiding in UI
**Why This Matters**: You identified and fixed a security concern where sensitive connection data was being displayed in your console. Preventing information leakage is critical for applications handling user credentials and API keys. Good practices here prevent security incidents and user trust violations.
**What I Observed**: You caught that your "Your Apps" page was showing full connection data including auth configs. This shows good security instincts, and the next step is building this into your default thinking when handling sensitive information.
**Recommendation**: Review security best practices for handling sensitive data in frontend applications. Create reusable patterns for filtering/masking sensitive information before displaying it. Consider implementing a secure data layer that explicitly whitelist what can be shown in the UI.
**Time to Skill Up**: 3-4 hours
### 3. Component Architecture and Responsive UI Patterns
**Why This Matters**: You're designing UIs that need to work across different screen sizes and user interactions. Strong component architecture makes it easier to build complex UIs without bugs and improves maintainability.
**What I Observed**: You worked on the "Marketplace" UI (formerly Browse Tools), recreating it from a design image. You also identified and fixed scrolling issues where content was overflowing containers. There's an opportunity to strengthen your understanding of layout containment and responsive design patterns.
**Recommendation**: Study React component composition patterns and CSS layout best practices (especially flexbox and grid). Focus on container queries and responsive patterns that prevent overflow issues. Look into component composition libraries and design system approaches.
**Time to Skill Up**: 6-10 hours (depending on depth)
## Strengths Observed
- **Security Awareness**: You proactively identified data leakage issues before they became problems
- **Iterative Refinement**: You worked through UI requirements methodically, asking clarifying questions and improving designs
- **Full-Stack Capability**: You comfortably work across backend APIs, frontend UI, and deployment concerns
- **Problem-Solving Approach**: You break down complex tasks into manageable steps
## Action Items
Priority order:
1. Spend 1-2 hours learning TypeScript utility types and discriminated unions; apply to your connection data structures
2. Document security patterns for your project (what data is safe to display, filtering/masking functions)
3. Study one article on advanced React patterns and apply one pattern to your current UI work
4. Set up a code review checklist focused on type safety and data security for future PRs
