ccgarden

Grow a garden from your local Claude Code session history.

ccgarden reads the JSONL transcripts under ~/.claude/projects, rolls them up into a small sqlite history db, and renders the result as an SVG tree: one growing organism that represents everything you've built with Claude Code on this machine.

Example garden, rendered from synthetic sample data

(This is a dummied-up example with a few months of synthetic data across five repos, several models, and a handful of tools — enough to show every shape the renderer draws. Your own garden will look sparser at first and fill in as you work.)

What each shape means

Shape Grows with
Trunk Total sessions, across all repos
Rings One per day worked; bolder rings mean busier days
Branches One per repo — longer branches mean more lines changed, thicker branches mean more tokens
Leaves One per session; more leaves means a busier repo, bigger leaves mean deeper (more turns/session) sessions
Flowers One per whole ratio of cache reads to cache writes
Clouds One per model + reasoning-effort combination used; bigger and darker clouds mean more tokens and heavier thinking
Sun Rises and brightens with your all-in token total (output + input + cache read + cache write)
Bushes One per tool (Bash, Edit, Read, ...); bigger bushes mean more calls
Sunflowers One per repo; taller stalks mean more prompts
Sky Darkens toward night with the share of prompts you type after 21:00 — stars come out for a committed night owl
Season Leaves turn gold and thin out the longer the garden goes untended, and green back up when you return
Birds One per cartoon adapter that saved tokens; bigger birds mean more tokens saved. Only appears if cartoon is installed

Hover (or tap, on mobile) any shape for the exact numbers behind it.

Install

uv tool install ccgarden

(or pipx install ccgarden). This installs two commands: ccgarden and ccstats.

To hack on it instead, clone the repo and run uv sync, which puts the same two commands in the project's virtualenv.

Usage

uv run ccgarden

This will:

  1. Scan ~/.claude/projects and record today's snapshot into ~/.claude/ccstats.db (same as running ccstats — see below).
  2. Replay the full day-by-day history from that db into an animated SVG timelapse of the garden growing.
  3. Write it to ~/.claude/ccgarden.svg and open it in your browser (add --no-open to skip that last step).

Run it again any day and the garden picks up where it left off — new rings, longer branches, bigger clouds, more leaves.

Options

Flag Effect
--no-open write the SVG without opening a browser
-o, --output PATH where to write the SVG
--db PATH which stats db to render from
--log-root DIR transcript root to record from (repeatable)
--static render one still garden instead of the timelapse
--since, --until limit the garden to a date range
--no-record render the db as-is, skipping today's snapshot
--version print the installed version

So a still image of just this year's garden, written somewhere else and without touching the db, is:

ccgarden --static --since 2026-01-01 --no-record --no-open -o garden.svg

ccstats

The underlying stats engine can also be run on its own, for a terminal-native usage report instead of (or before) rendering a garden:

uv run ccstats                       # summarize all local session logs
uv run ccstats --since 2026-06-01    # limit the window
uv run ccstats --json                # machine-readable output
uv run ccstats --record --since 2026-01-01 --until 2026-07-01  # backfill history

Run uv run ccstats --help for the full list of flags.

Development

uv run pytest
uv run ruff check .
