I built Wellcode CLI after getting frustrated with expensive engineering metrics tools that cost thousands per month but weren't actually helpful as a new engineering manager. The existing tools gave me lots of fancy graphs, but didn't help answer basic questions like "is my team stuck on anything?" or "who might need more support?"

The tool does three main things: 1. Aggregates metrics from GitHub (PR velocity, code review times, etc), Linear (issue progress, cycle time), and Split.io (feature flag adoption) 2. Provides a natural language interface so you can ask questions like "how was the frontend team performing last week?" or "show me who needs code review help" 3. Uses Claude (optional integration) to analyze trends and suggest actionable improvements for new managers

What makes this different: - Completely free and open source - no more paying thousands for metrics you don't need - Works entirely from your terminal - no web dashboards or account creation needed - Natural language interface that focuses on actionable insights for managers - Integrates metrics across tools rather than looking at each in isolation - Local-first - all data processing happens on your machine

You can try it out in 2 minutes.

The minimum requirement is just GitHub access - the Linear, Split.io and Anthropic integrations are optional.

Happy to answer any questions! While I've built several internal metrics tools before, this is my first open source project, so feedback is very welcome.
