+ # Insight Mining & Dashboard Research
2
+
3
+ **Type:** Research
4
+ **Created:** 2025-11-30
5
+ **Loop:** Middle (dashboard implementation) / Outer (insight system design)
6
+ **Tags:** dashboard, insights, visualization, chart.js
7
+
8
+ ---
9
+
10
+ ## Executive Summary
11
+
12
+ vibe-check has rich data across 5 storage files with 20+ metrics. A static HTML dashboard exists but uses mock data. The opportunity is to: (1) create an insight generation engine that surfaces actionable patterns, and (2) connect the existing dashboard to real data with real-time updates.
13
+
14
+ ## Problem Statement
15
+
16
+ **Current state:**
17
+ - Rich data in `.vibe-check/` (profile, sessions, timeline, commits, calibration)
18
+ - Global profile at `~/.vibe-check/profile.json`
19
+ - Static dashboard shell exists with Chart.js integration
20
+ - Insights are scattered across commands (timeline --insights, profile, analyze --all-time)
21
+
22
+ **Gap:**
23
+ - No unified insight engine
24
+ - Dashboard shows mock data, not real data
25
+ - No insight prioritization or severity
26
+ - No progressive disclosure (surface → deep)
27
+
28
+ ## Data Inventory
29
+
30
+ ### Storage Files (per-repo: `.vibe-check/`)
31
+
32
+ | File | Format | Contents | Size |
33
+ |------|--------|----------|------|
34
+ | `timeline.json` | JSON | Sessions, trends, patterns, insights | ~8KB |
35
+ | `commits.ndjson` | NDJSON | All analyzed commits | ~8KB (55 commits) |
36
+ | `sessions.json` | JSON | Session history with baseline | ~2KB |
37
+ | `calibration.json` | JSON | Vibe level calibration samples | ~0.5KB |
38
+ | `latest.json` | JSON | Last analysis result | ~2KB |
39
+
40
+ ### Global Storage (`~/.vibe-check/`)
41
+
42
+ | File | Contents |
43
+ |------|----------|
44
+ | `profile.json` | XP, level, streak, achievements, sessions, patterns, interventions |
45
+
46
+ ### Available Metrics (20+)
47
+
48
+ **Core 5 Metrics:**
49
+ 1. Iteration Velocity (commits/hour)
50
+ 2. Rework Ratio (% fix commits)
51
+ 3. Trust Pass Rate (% commits without immediate fix)
52
+ 4. Debug Spiral Duration (avg time in fix chains)
53
+ 5. Flow Efficiency (% time building vs debugging)
54
+
55
+ **Semantic-Free Metrics:**
56
+ 6. File Churn Score
57
+ 7. Time Spiral Score
58
+ 8. Velocity Anomaly Score
59
+ 9. Code Stability Score
60
+
61
+ **Session Metrics:**
62
+ 10. VibeScore (0-100)
63
+ 11. Overall Rating (ELITE/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)
64
+ 12. Spiral Count
65
+ 13. Flow State Detection
66
+ 14. Session Duration
67
+ 15. Feature Count
68
+
69
+ **Trend Metrics:**
70
+ 16. Week-over-week improvements
71
+ 17. Regression alerts
72
+ 18. Recovery time trends
73
+ 19. Pattern frequency
74
+ 20. Intervention effectiveness
75
+
76
+ ## Option Space Explored
77
+
78
+ ### Approach A: Insight Engine Module
79
+
80
+ Create `src/insights/` module that generates prioritized insights from all data sources.
81
+
82
+ **Pros:**
83
+ - Clean separation of concerns
84
+ - Reusable across commands and dashboard
85
+ - Can run headless (CLI) or serve dashboard
86
+ - Testable insight generation logic
87
+
88
+ **Cons:**
89
+ - New module to maintain
90
+ - Need to define insight schema
91
+ - Requires aggregation logic
92
+
93
+ **Effort:** Medium (2-3 sessions)
94
+
95
+ ### Approach B: Dashboard API Server
96
+
97
+ Add express/fastify server that serves insight API endpoints.
98
+
99
+ **Pros:**
100
+ - Real-time updates via polling or WebSocket
101
+ - Dashboard fully decoupled from CLI
102
+ - Could support multiple dashboards
103
+
104
+ **Cons:**
105
+ - Requires running server process
106
+ - More complex deployment
107
+ - Overkill for local-first tool
108
+
109
+ **Effort:** High (4-5 sessions)
110
+
111
+ ### Approach C: Static JSON Export + Dashboard
112
+
113
+ CLI exports `dashboard-data.json` → static dashboard reads it.
114
+
115
+ **Pros:**
116
+ - Simplest architecture
117
+ - No server needed
118
+ - Works offline
119
+ - Dashboard is just HTML/CSS/JS
120
+
121
+ **Cons:**
122
+ - Manual refresh (run CLI to update)
123
+ - No real-time
124
+ - Two-step workflow
125
+
126
+ **Effort:** Low (1-2 sessions)
127
+
128
+ ### Approach D: Hybrid (Recommended)
129
+
130
+ Insight engine module + `vibe-check dashboard` command that:
131
+ 1. Exports data to JSON
132
+ 2. Opens browser to static dashboard
133
+ 3. Optional: watches for changes and auto-refreshes
134
+
135
+ **Pros:**
136
+ - Best of A and C
137
+ - Single command UX
138
+ - No server complexity
139
+ - Can evolve to server later
140
+
141
+ **Cons:**
142
+ - File-based refresh
143
+ - Limited real-time capability
144
+
145
+ **Effort:** Medium (2-3 sessions)
146
+
147
+ ## Recommended Approach: Hybrid (D)

248
+ ];
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ ### Dashboard Data Export Format
252
+
253
+ ```typescript
254
+ interface DashboardData {
255
+ version: string;
256
+ generatedAt: string;
257
+
258
+ // Profile summary
259
+ profile: {
260
+ level: number;
261
+ levelName: string;
262
+ xp: { current: number; next: number; total: number };
263
+ streak: { current: number; longest: number };
264
+ achievements: Achievement[];
265
+ };
266
+
267
+ // Stats
268
+ stats: {
269
+ current: { vibeScore: number; rating: string };
270
+ averages: { day7: number; day30: number; day90: number };
271
+ totals: { sessions: number; commits: number; spirals: number };
272
+ };
273
+
274
+ // Charts data
275
+ charts: {
276
+ scoreTrend: Array<{ date: string; score: number }>;
277
+ ratingDistribution: Record<string, number>;
278
+ metricsRadar: Record<string, number>;
279
+ hourlyActivity: Record<number, number>;
280
+ scopeHealth: Array<{ scope: string; commits: number; fixRatio: number }>;
281
+ };
282
+
283
+ // Prioritized insights
284
+ insights: Insight[];
285
+
286
+ // Sessions history
287
+ sessions: SessionRecord[];
288
+ }
289
+ ```
290
+
291
+ ### Dashboard Features (Priority Order)
292
+
293
+ **P0 - Core (v1.6.0):**
294
+ 1. Connect to real data (read dashboard-data.json)
295
+ 2. Show prioritized insights
296
+ 3. Update existing charts with real data

309
+ 12. Custom insight rules
310
+
311
+ ## Tracer Tests Required
312
+
313
+ | Assumption | Tracer Test | Time | Validates |
314
+ |------------|-------------|------|-----------|
315
+ | Dashboard can read local JSON | Create test JSON, load in browser | 10m | File:// protocol works |
316
+ | Chart.js handles our data shape | Mock data in current format | 15m | No schema issues |
317
+ | `open` command works cross-platform | Test on macOS | 5m | Browser opening |
318
+
319
+ **Total tracer investment:** 30 minutes
320
+ **Risk if skipped:** Dashboard may not load data correctly
321
+
322
+ ## Failure Pattern Risks
323
+
324
+ | Pattern | Risk Level | Mitigation |
325
+ |---------|------------|------------|
326
+ | Context Amnesia | Low | Bundle captures full design |
327
+ | Scope Creep | Medium | Strict P0/P1/P2 prioritization |
328
+ | Over-engineering | Medium | Start with static JSON, evolve |
329
+
330
+ ## PDC Strategy
331
+
332
+ - **Prevent:** Clear scope definition, phased approach
333
+ - **Detect:** Manual testing after each phase
334
+ - **Correct:** Revert to simpler approach if complexity grows
335
+
336
+ ## Implementation Plan (Phase 1: P0)
337
+
338
+ ### Step 1: Create Insight Engine (40m)
339
+ ```
340
+ src/insights/
341
+ ├── types.ts - Insight interface, categories
342
+ ├── generator.ts - Insight generation functions
343
+ ├── prioritizer.ts - Sort by severity, recency
344
+ └── index.ts - Main export
345
+ ```
346
+
347
+ ### Step 2: Create Dashboard Command (30m)
348
+ ```
349
+ src/commands/dashboard.ts
350
+ - Load all data sources
351
+ - Generate insights via engine
352
+ - Export dashboard-data.json to dashboard/
353
+ - Open browser to dashboard/index.html
354
+ ```
355
+
356
+ ### Step 3: Update Dashboard App (45m)
357
+ ```
358
+ dashboard/app.js
359
+ - Replace getMockProfile() with fetch('dashboard-data.json')
360
+ - Map data to existing UI components
361
+ - Add insights section
362
+ - Handle loading states
363
+ ```
364
+
365
+ ### Step 4: Add Insights UI (30m)
366
+ ```
367
+ dashboard/index.html
368
+ - Add insights panel/section
369
+ - Style insight cards by severity
370
+ - Add insight icons by category
371
+ ```
372
+
373
+ ### Step 5: Test & Polish (25m)
374
+ - Test full flow: CLI → JSON → Dashboard
375
+ - Fix any data mapping issues
376
+ - Ensure charts render correctly
377
+
378
+ **Total estimated time:** ~3 hours
379
+
380
+ ## Open Questions
381
+
382
+ - [ ] Should dashboard auto-open on every `timeline` run? (Probably no)
383
+ - [ ] Support custom dashboard port for local server mode? (Future)
384
+ - [ ] Include raw data export option? (Maybe --export-data flag)
385
+
386
+ ## Token Stats
387
+
388
+ - Research tokens: ~25k
389
+ - Bundle tokens: ~4k
390
+ - Compression ratio: 6:1

+ # Storage Enhancement Research: Utilizing NDJSON for vibe-check Mission
2
+
3
+ **Type:** Research Synthesis
4
+ **Created:** 2025-11-30
5
+ **Agents:** 3 parallel (Landscape, Patterns, Constraints)
6
+ **Status:** Complete
7
+
8
+ ---
9
+
10
+ ## Executive Summary
11
+
12
+ The new storage layer (atomic.ts, commit-log.ts, schema.ts) transforms vibe-check from **point-in-time analysis** to **longitudinal productivity intelligence**. This research identifies 12 enhancement opportunities, prioritized by effort/impact, with immediate fixes for security gaps.
13
+
14
+ **Key Finding:** NDJSON enables complete event history that unlocks cross-session queries, regression detection, and predictive insights—all while maintaining git-friendly diffs.
15
+
16
+ ---
17
+
18
+ ## Current Architecture (Agent 1)
19
+
20
+ ### Storage Locations
21
+
22
+ | Location | Purpose | Format |
23
+ |----------|---------|--------|
24
+ | `~/.vibe-check/profile.json` | XP, streaks, achievements | JSON |
25
+ | `.vibe-check/timeline.json` | Sessions, insights, trends | JSON |
26
+ | `.vibe-check/commits.ndjson` | Append-only commit log (NEW) | NDJSON |
27
+ | `.vibe-check/sessions.json` | Auto-detected sessions | JSON |
28
+ | `.vibe-check/calibration.json` | Level calibration | JSON |
29
+
30
+ ### Data Flow
31
+
32
+ ```
33
+ Git commits → getCommits() → buildTimeline() → updateStore() → timeline.json
34
+ ↓ ↓
35
+ detectSessions() detectPatterns()
36
+ ↓ ↓
37
+ TimelineSession[] flowState, spirals, detours, thrashing
38
+
39
+ recordSession() → profile.json (XP, achievements)
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ ### 7 Commands & Their Data Needs
43
+
44
+ | Command | Reads | Writes | Storage Gap |
45
+ |---------|-------|--------|-------------|
46
+ | `analyze` | git, latest.json | profile, sessions, latest | No commit log integration |
47
+ | `timeline` | git, timeline.json | timeline.json | ✓ Uses new storage |
48
+ | `profile` | profile.json | - | No cross-repo aggregation |
49
+ | `start` | session.json | session.json | - |
50
+ | `watch` | git (in-memory) | - | **No persistence** |
51
+ | `intervene` | profile.json | profile.json | - |
52
+ | `init-hook` | - | .git/hooks | No execution history |

72
+ | 11 | Spiral prediction | Very High | Medium | P2 |
73
+ | 12 | Multi-repo aggregation | Very High | High | P3 |
74
+
75
+ ### Top 5 Enhancements (P0)
76
+
77
+ #### 1. Multi-Session Queries
78
+ **What:** Query all commits.ndjson to answer:
79
+ - "Which scope has most spirals?"
80
+ - "What's my spiral rate by hour?"
81
+ - "Average session length by day of week?"
82
+
83
+ **Implementation:**
84
+ ```typescript
85
+ // src/analysis/cross-session-analysis.ts
86
+ export function queryCommits(commits: Commit[], filter: QueryFilter): Commit[]
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ **Integration:** Add `--all-time` flag to `analyze` command
90
+
91
+ #### 2. Spiral Regression Detection
92
+ **What:** Alert when spiral patterns re-emerge after improvement.
93
+
94
+ **Example:**
95
+ - Week 1-4: 2 spirals/week
96
+ - Week 5-8: 0.5 spirals/week (improvement!)
97
+ - Week 9: 3 spirals/week → **ALERT: Regression detected**
98
+
99
+ **Implementation:**
100
+ ```typescript
101
+ // src/patterns/spiral-regression.ts
102
+ export function detectRegressions(trends: TrendData): RegressionAlert[]
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ #### 3. Scope-Based Analysis
106
+ **What:** Track productivity per code scope (auth, database, ui).
107
+
108
+ **Output:**
109
+ ```
110
+ Scope: auth
111
+ Commits: 156 (12% of total)
112
+ Spirals: 8 (0.051 per commit)
113
+ Avg fix time: 34 minutes
114
+ Top pattern: SECRETS_AUTH (5x)
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ #### 4. Intervention Effectiveness
118
+ **What:** Score each intervention by how well it breaks spirals.
119
+
120
+ **Output:**
121
+ ```
122
+ Tracer tests: 8/10 effective (80%) | 12 min resolution
123
+ Taking a break: 4/6 effective (67%) | 18 min resolution
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ #### 5. Recovery Time Trends
127
+ **What:** Track if recovery time per spiral type is improving.
128
+
129
+ **Insight:** "SSL/TLS spirals: 45 min → 32 min → 28 min. Keep it up!"

133
+ ## Constraints & Risks (Agent 3)
134
+
135
+ ### Critical Issues (Fix Now)
136
+
137
+ | Issue | Severity | Fix |
138
+ |-------|----------|-----|
139
+ | **No .gitignore enforcement** | HIGH | Create on first run |
140
+ | **Schema version hardcoded** | MEDIUM | Use CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION |
141
+ | **NDJSON bad line fails all** | MEDIUM | Skip bad lines gracefully |
142
+ | **--insights undocumented** | LOW | Add to help text |
143
+
144
+ ### Technical Constraints
145
+
146
+ | Constraint | Current | Risk |
147
+ |------------|---------|------|
148
+ | File size (1 year) | ~500 KB | GREEN |
149
+ | File size (10 years) | ~5 MB | YELLOW |
150
+ | Read performance | O(n) | GREEN (<20ms for 10K lines) |
151
+ | Duplicate detection | O(n) per append | YELLOW (acceptable) |
152
+ | Windows atomic rename | Not guaranteed | LOW |
153
+
154
+ ### Privacy Concerns
155
+
156
+ **Sensitive data stored:**
157
+ - Work timing patterns (when you code)
158
+ - Component names (architecture leak)
159
+ - Author names (in commit-log)
160
+ - Productivity metrics (embarrassing if shared)
161
+
162
+ **Recommendation:**
163
+ 1. Enforce `.gitignore` on first run
164
+ 2. Add `vibe-check cache clear` command
165
+ 3. Document data sensitivity
166
+

245
+ - Complete event history (never lost)
246
+ - Query all time: "Show me all auth spirals ever"
247
+ - Trends automatic: week-over-week comparison
248
+ - Insights emerge: regression detection, commitment tracking
249
+ - Foundation for team analytics: multi-repo aggregation
250
+
251
+ ---
252
