Common Questions
- Where should new teams begin?
- Start at quickstart, then move to configuration and API reference once baseline tracking is confirmed.
- Do docs cover operations and troubleshooting?
- Yes. Dedicated sections explain diagnostics, alerting behavior, and common setup failure recovery steps.
- Can docs support production rollout?
- The docs include configuration and integration guidance designed for shared team environments and repeatable deployment.
- What are the system requirements for the CLI?
- The CLI runs on macOS and Linux. It requires a shell environment, internet access for authentication, and read access to Claude Code session logs.
- How do we configure tracking for multiple projects?
- Use the configuration guide to set project-level metadata and environment tags that flow through to attribution and reporting views.
- Is there an API for programmatic access to usage data?
- Yes. The API reference documents endpoints for querying usage events, cost summaries, and attribution data programmatically.
