What is this?
AI Engineering Fluency (formerly the 'GitHub Copilot Token Tracker') tracks your AI token usage and fluency score across editors and CLIs, covering GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini CLI and other AI engineering tools, by reading your local session logs.

The editor integrations need VS Code (or a Chromium fork), a JetBrains IDE, or Visual Studio 2022+, plus an existing Copilot/agent session to read logs from.
