Key points

  1. The update extends existing CLI reporting in GitHub's usage metrics API.
  2. Activity metrics now cover skills and custom agents.
  3. MCP servers, slash commands and plugins are also included.

Why it matters

Teams maintaining shared agent configurations can use adoption information when deciding where to invest support and documentation. Usage counts alone do not establish whether a customization improves task outcomes.

What to watch

Check the API field definitions, reporting granularity and eligibility requirements to determine how the new metrics fit existing internal reports.
