Skills usage analytics
Publishing skills in a skills registry is only half of the story. Platform teams also need to see which skills engineers actually use, how often they are invoked, and where adoption is growing or stalling.
Port ingests skill usage metrics from AI coding tools into your software catalog, so you can build dashboards, scorecards, and reports on skill adoption alongside the rest of your engineering context.
What you can analyze
Depending on the integration, skill usage data can help you answer questions such as:
- Which skills are used most often across the organization.
- How skill adoption changes day over day.
- Which surfaces drive usage (for example chat, Claude Code, or Office agents).
- How estimated spend or attributed usage value relates to specific skills.
Use this data to prioritize which skills to govern in the registry, retire unused skills, and prove the impact of platform-owned skill packs.
Ingest skill usage metrics
Choose the integration that matches the AI tools your teams use. Each integration creates skill usage blueprints and mapping out of the box when you enable the relevant resource kinds.
| Method | Best for | Skill usage resource | Setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cursor | Teams using Cursor Analytics (Enterprise) for skill adoption | cursor-team-skill-usage | Cursor metrics |
| Claude AI (Enterprise) | Teams using Claude Enterprise analytics for org-level skill usage | claude-ai-skill-usage | Claude AI metrics |
Both skill usage kinds rely on vendor analytics APIs that require an Enterprise plan and an API key with analytics read permissions. Confirm access on the Cursor or Claude integration page before enabling these kinds.
Cursor
The Cursor integration syncs daily team-level skill adoption from the Cursor Analytics API. Each entity represents a skill on a given day, including skill name and usage count.
See the cursor-team-skill-usage kind for blueprint schema, default mapping, sample payload, and optional user filters.
Claude AI (Enterprise)
The Claude integration syncs org-level skill usage for a single day at a time from Anthropic's skill analytics API. Each entity includes invocation counts, distinct users, share status, product-surface breakdowns, and optional spend fields.
See the claude-ai-skill-usage kind under Claude AI (Enterprise) mode for blueprint schema, default mapping, and sample payload.
