Introduction
What is Tandemu?
Tandemu is a platform that sits alongside Claude Code to give engineering teams visibility into how AI is being used, where developers get stuck, and how work flows through the team — all without any manual reporting.
Think of it as the management layer for AI-assisted development. Developers use Claude Code as usual. Tandemu quietly collects telemetry, tracks sessions, and surfaces insights to engineering leads through a dashboard.
What it does
- AI Usage Tracking — Measures the ratio of AI-generated code vs manually written code across your team
- Friction Detection — Identifies files and components where developers repeatedly struggle (prompt loops, repeated errors)
- Passive Time Tracking — Automatically logs development time from Claude Code sessions, no timesheets needed
- DORA Metrics — Deployment frequency and lead time calculated from GitHub PRs with industry-standard performance ratings (elite, high, medium, low)
- Team Coordination — Custom Claude Code skills for standups, task picking, and workflow automation
- Ticket System Integration — Connects to Jira, Linear, ClickUp, GitHub Issues, Asana, or monday.com so developers can pick tasks from their sprint directly in the terminal
- AI Memory — Persistent context across Claude Code sessions. Claude remembers your name, coding style, preferences, and project decisions
- Insights & ROI — Productivity multiplier, capacity freed, cost per task, and AI adoption tracking
Who it’s for
Developers get custom Claude Code skills (/morning, /finish, /standup) that streamline their workflow. No context switching to update tickets or write standup reports.
Engineering Leads get a dashboard with real-time insights into team productivity, AI adoption, and code quality bottlenecks — without deploying invasive monitoring software.
Architecture
Tandemu is built as a TypeScript monorepo:
| Component | Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Backend | NestJS | API server, org management, telemetry queries, billing |
| Frontend | Next.js + shadcn/ui | Management dashboard |
| Telemetry | OpenTelemetry + ClickHouse | High-throughput analytics pipeline |
| Database | PostgreSQL | Organizations, users, teams, integrations |
| Skills | Claude Code SKILL.md | Terminal-based developer workflows |
| Memory | Mem0 or OpenMemory MCP + Qdrant | Persistent AI context across sessions |
Deployment
Tandemu runs as a self-hosted Docker Compose stack or as a managed cloud service. The open-source and SaaS versions share the exact same codebase.
