Log team routines directly from VS Code Copilot

The `add_habit_log` tool updates your daily progress directly from the VS Code Copilot chat panel. When you complete a pull request or finish a documentation sprint, the agent logs the achievement to Habitify instantly. You do not need to open a phone app or a browser to maintain your personal or team streaks. To see what tasks are still pending for the day, the VS Code Copilot agent runs `get_journal` to retrieve your active checklist. It keeps your focus on what needs to get done before you close your editor.

Configure your habits using this MCP Server

The `create_habit` tool sets up new tracking routines directly from your shared workspace. Your team defines standard habits in a shared configuration, and Copilot builds them in your Habitify account with a single command. If you need to tweak your targets, the VS Code Copilot client executes `update_habit` to modify the frequency or `delete_habit` to clear out outdated goals. It ensures your tracking setup matches your actual team workflow.

Track team consistency inside VS Code Copilot

The `get_habit_stats` tool retrieves your historical performance data and presents it directly in your workspace. Copilot analyzes your streaks and completion rates to help you understand your actual working patterns. By running `list_habit_logs`, the VS Code Copilot client digs into your past entries to pinpoint exactly when you are most consistent. You get clear, actionable insights into your daily routine without leaving your development environment.
