insight dashboard

Show a snapshot of current engineering metrics and AI-generated insights.

Synopsis

dobbe insight dashboard [OPTIONS]

Description

insight dashboard collects engineering metrics across your organization (pull request throughput, review latency, deployment frequency, incident rates, etc.) for a given time period and produces an AI-generated summary with actionable insights. It queries available MCP integrations (GitHub, Sentry, Jira, etc.) to build a comprehensive picture of engineering health.

insight trends

Show trends over time with narrative insights and period comparison.

Synopsis

dobbe insight trends [OPTIONS]

Description

insight trends analyzes engineering metrics over time, identifying patterns such as improving review times, rising incident rates, or deployment frequency changes. When used with --compare, it produces a side-by-side comparison against a prior period (last month or last quarter) and highlights statistically meaningful changes with narrative explanations.
