Short answer

How can I see how much time I spend on specific repos?

Your AI uses WakaTime data to map your coding activity to specific projects and commits. You'll get a granular breakdown of where your hours actually go.

Where your data lands.

The outcomes of your audit.

The AI processes your activity logs into these specific views.

REPO FOCUS

Project time distribution

The AI identifies which repositories are consuming most of your time. You get a clear list of active projects and their relative weight.

COMMIT LOGS

Granular commit history

The AI looks at individual commits to see how much work was done per change. This helps you spot heavy lifting versus quick fixes.

EFFICIENCY

Activity trends

The AI compares time spent across different timeframes. You'll see if you're spending more time on maintenance or new features.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual audit check

The AI flags anomalies in your coding patterns. You decide if those spikes in activity represent real work or just idle time.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves from broad project lists to specific commit details to build your report.

  1. Identify active projects

    The AI scans your account to find all the repositories you've worked on recently.

    list_projects

  2. Calculate time spent

    The AI pulls the specific duration and activity metrics for each identified project.

    get_stats

  3. Analyze commit patterns

    The AI drills down into the individual commits within a project to see the work distribution.

    list_commits

  4. Summarize findings

    The AI aggregates all the stats and commit data into a readable audit report.
