Usage

npx cc-plan          # Plan mode usage stats
npx cc-plan --json   # JSON output

What it shows

• Adoption rate — percentage of sessions that entered plan mode at least once
• Plan cycles — total ExitPlanMode events (each one = Claude presented a plan)
• Distribution — single plan vs multi-plan sessions
• Peak session — the session with the most plan cycles
• Monthly trend — how plan mode usage changes over time
• By project — which projects trigger structured planning most

What counts as a plan cycle?

Each ExitPlanMode call represents one complete plan-mode cycle — Claude drafted a plan and presented it for review. A session with 3 ExitPlanMode calls had 3 distinct planning phases.

Sessions with high cycle counts (21+) are typically long exploratory tasks where Claude re-enters plan mode multiple times as the scope evolves.
