Anthropic has launched a public beta for contribution metrics in its Claude Code tool, empowering engineering teams to gauge how the AI assistant boosts their productivity. This feature allows developers to track the number of pull requests successfully merged and the volume of code committed, distinguishing between those aided by Claude and those done independently.
Inside Anthropic’s own engineering operations, Claude Code has become a staple, with the company reporting a 67 percent uptick in merged pull requests per engineer daily as adoption grew. Notably, between 70 and 90 percent of the code across various teams now involves Claude’s input, highlighting its transformative role in daily workflows.
While pull requests do not capture every aspect of developer efficiency, they serve as a reliable indicator for core goals like accelerating feature releases, resolving issues, and enhancing user experiences. These new metrics enable organizations to assess Claude Code’s influence on their specific setups.
Through seamless integration with GitHub, the tool delivers key insights such as the tally of merged pull requests generated with or without Claude’s support, the lines of code added to repositories under similar conditions, and individual user patterns to spot team-wide adoption trends.
Data is derived by linking Claude Code sessions to GitHub commits and pull requests, with a cautious approach ensuring only confidently assisted contributions are flagged as such. These visualizations integrate directly into the familiar Claude Code analytics dashboard, accessible to workspace administrators and owners, without needing extra software or custom data flows. Teams just need to set up the GitHub App and connect their organization’s account for automatic updates.
Intended as a supplement to established performance indicators, these metrics pair well with frameworks like DORA or sprint velocities to reveal shifts after incorporating Claude Code.
Currently in beta for Claude Team and Enterprise users, activation is straightforward: install the Claude GitHub App for the organization, head to admin settings under Claude Code to enable GitHub Analytics, and verify authentication with GitHub. Data starts flowing in as usage begins. For in-depth setup and analysis tips, consult the official documentation.
