kukisama

Kukisama is a software publisher with a focused catalog currently containing a single utility, gh-usage, a command-line tool designed to generate fast, local reports on GitHub Copilot usage. Rather than relying on cloud services or remote APIs, gh-usage works directly with records already present on a developer's machine, reading data produced by Visual Studio Code and the GitHub Copilot CLI to compile usage summaries quickly and privately. This local-first approach makes the tool particularly appealing to developers and teams who want visibility into how Copilot is being used without sending sensitive data elsewhere or waiting on slower, network-dependent reporting. The product fits within the broader category of developer tooling and analytics software, which commonly includes command-line utilities, IDE companions, usage trackers, and reporting dashboards. Typical use cases for such software include monitoring adoption of AI-assisted coding features, understanding individual or team productivity patterns, auditing license and feature utilization, and supporting administrative or billing reviews. In the case of gh-usage specifically, a developer might run the tool to see how frequently Copilot suggestions were accepted over a given period, while a team lead could aggregate local reports to gauge return on investment for Copilot subscriptions. Publishers like kukisama, whose catalogs emphasize compact, single-purpose utilities, tend to serve niche but practical needs in the software development ecosystem: small tools that do one job well, install easily, and integrate naturally into existing workflows. Such products are often distributed as open-source projects or lightweight packages, prioritizing speed, transparency, and minimal dependencies over heavyweight feature sets, and they appeal to technically confident users who value efficiency and control over their own data.
