Highlights
- Model breakdown is especially useful here
- Good fit for long research cycles
- Local-first default reduces friction around sensitive work
Use case
Use vibestats to compare model usage, review activity patterns, and keep a local record of AI-assisted research coding.
Highlights
Relevant commands
npx vibestats --modelnpx vibestats --monthlynpx vibestats --wrappedResearch workflows are often exploratory and model-heavy, which makes model breakdown and long-window trend views more useful than one raw total.
Use model views for tool choice, daily or monthly reporting for cadence, and wrapped pages when you want a compact retrospective over a long research cycle.
You get cleaner evidence for how AI coding tools were used during experiments, prototyping, and implementation work.
FAQ
vibestats for researchers matters when people need a stable way to explain AI coding usage, patterns, or cost without reverse-engineering local files every time.
No. The same reporting surface can support solo developers, client work, internal retrospectives, and manager reporting. The difference is usually which report you prioritize.
