💡 Intelligent Usage Patterns

Daily Productivity Review

Claude: "Show me my productivity summary for yesterday with category breakdown"
→ Uses get_productivity_summary tool
→ Returns comprehensive daily metrics with focus time, sessions, and distractions

Weekly Performance Analysis

Claude: "Generate a weekly analytics report with AI insights"
→ Uses get_analytics_report with timeframe="week" and includeInsights=true
→ Returns trend analysis, productivity patterns, and actionable recommendations

Project-Focused Analysis

Claude: "Show me all focus sessions for my Development project this week, minimum 30 minutes"
→ Uses get_focus_sessions with projectId filter and minDuration=30
→ Returns filtered sessions with productivity metrics and time distribution

Productivity Optimization

Claude: "What are my most productive hours based on recent focus sessions?"
→ Combines multiple tool calls to analyze session patterns
→ Provides insights on optimal work scheduling and energy management
