Sightdeck AI

User Guide

Skills used per task

Sightdeck records which Claude skills a session actually invoked while working a task and shows them in the detail panel — as chips, and expanded as a per-run timeline.

What you get

  • A Skills row in the task detail panel: the union of every skill the task used, shown as chips (for example sightdeck-ai, cypress-testing).
  • An expandable by run view that groups the skills per Claude session — one run equals one session — each with its timestamp, so you can see which skills ran in which run.
  • The row is always there. A task that never invoked a skill shows a quiet None recorded placeholder instead of hiding it.

The detail panel — the Skills row lists every skill the task used, expandable per run.

How you use it

  1. There is nothing to set up — the Sightdeck bootstrap installs the recording hooks per project automatically.
  2. Work tasks as usual. The skill list accumulates per task across replies and sessions.
  3. Open a task's detail panel to see the Skills row, and expand it to see the per-run breakdown.

What counts

Only skills a session explicitly invoked are recorded — every chip is a real skill call, not a skill that merely happened to be available. The list is a set: re-running the same skill later changes nothing, and a new skill from a later session is added to the same list.

The sightdeck-ai skill appears on nearly every task, because its lifecycle bootstrap runs at the start of each session — that is accurate, the task really did use it. The same hooks that capture token cost capture the skills, so app-started and terminal-started runs are both covered.
