Summary

Implements a new plugin to collect and visualize GitHub Copilot usage metrics. The plugin follows DevLake's three-layer architecture (raw → tool → domain) and provides two Grafana dashboards for analyzing acceptance rates, user engagement, and editor/language distribution.

Plugin Components (backend/plugins/github_copilot/):

  • Models: Connection, Organization (scope), ScopeConfig, Usage (daily metrics with JSON breakdowns)
  • Tasks: API collector for /orgs/{org}/copilot/usage endpoint, extractor for JSON parsing
  • API: Blueprint generation for pipeline integration
  • Migrations: Initial schema with versioned migration scripts

Dashboards (grafana/dashboards/):

  • GitHubCopilotMetrics.json: Overview with stat cards (acceptance rate, engaged users, lines accepted) and trend charts
  • GitHubCopilotDistribution.json: Editor/language distribution with percentage calculations in SQL

Data Collected:

  • Seats, active/engaged users, suggestions/acceptances, lines suggested/accepted
  • Chat usage (active users, sessions)
  • Language and editor breakdowns (stored as JSON for flexible querying)

Specification (specs/001-copilot-metrics-plugin/):

  • Architecture documentation with API integration details
  • Phased implementation plan (7 phases)
  • Implementation summary tracking completed/remaining work

N/A - Backend plugin implementation

Other Information

Build Status: Plugin compiles successfully to .so (46MB)

Remaining Work:

  • Phase 6: UI integration (connection form, scope selection in config-ui)
  • Phase 7: E2E tests with CSV fixtures, integration testing
  • Phase 8: Performance/security review

Technical Notes:

  • Uses helper.NewApiCollector pattern for stateless collection
  • Subtask dependencies: CollectUsage → ExtractUsage
  • Table naming: _tool_github_copilot_* following plugin conventions
  • Registered in table_info_test.go for schema validation
Original prompt

Start the implementation in phases

The user has attached the following file paths as relevant context:

  • AGENTS.md
[Chronological Review: The conversation began with the user requesting to create additional tasks for the GitHub Copilot Grafana Dashboard based on a prompt file. The user specified three tasks involving metrics and UI changes. The user later clarified a preference for adding new tasks rather than editing existing ones.]

[Intent Mapping:

  1. "I want to create a few additional tasks for the GitHub Copilot Grafana Dashboard." - User's primary request to add tasks.
  2. "I'd rather you just add net new tasks rather than edit the existing ones please." - User's clarification to focus on new tasks only.]

[Technical Inventory:

  • Repository: apache/incubator-devlake
  • Current Branch: 001-copilot-metrics-plugin
  • Active Pull Request: GitHub Copilot Metrics Plugin (GitHub Copilot Metrics Plugin apache/incubator-devlake#8674)
  • Task Requirements: Metrics for acceptance rate, engaged users, UI modifications, and renaming instances of "Copilot".]

[Code Archaeology:

  • Current File: c:\Users\eldrickt\Projects\incubator-devlake\specs\001-copilot-metrics-plugin\tasks.md
  • Tasks to be added: Metrics cards, percentage display in dashboards, and renaming conventions.]

[Progress Assessment: User has outlined specific tasks to be added but has not yet completed the addition of these tasks.]

[Context Validation: All necessary context for continuing the task addition is captured, including user preferences and specific requirements.]

[Recent Commands Analysis:

  • Last Agent Commands: User requested to create new tasks based on the prompt file and specified preferences for task addition.
  • Tool Results Summary: No tool results were generated as the conversation focused on user requests and clarifications.
  • Pre-Summary State: The agent was preparing to add new tasks to the specified file when the token budget was exceeded.
  • Operation Context: The commands were executed to align with the user's goal of enhancing the GitHub Copilot Grafana Dashboard with new metrics and UI improvements.]
1. Conversation Overview: - Primary Objectives: "I want to create a few additional tasks for the GitHub Copilot Grafana Dashboard." The user aims to enhance the dashboard with specific metrics and UI changes. - Session Context: The user initially requested new tasks, specified metrics to be displayed, and later clarified the need to add new tasks instead of editing existing ones. - User Intent Evolution: The user shifted from a general request for task creation to a more specific focus on adding new tasks without modifying existing ones.
