💡 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

Caching Strategy

• LRU (Least Recently Used) cache with configurable size limits
• TTL-based expiration for time-sensitive data
• Selective caching for performance-critical operations
• Cache warming for frequently accessed data
• Automatic invalidation on data mutations

Error Handling Pipeline

1. Input Validation: Zod schema validation with detailed error messages
2. API Error Classification: Structured error types (Auth, Validation, Network, etc.)
3. Graceful Degradation: Fallback mechanisms for partial failures
4. Error Logging: Comprehensive error tracking with context and stack traces
5. User-Friendly Messages: Clean error presentation for AI assistant interaction
