Comments
Activity Volume
Counts comments you authored on pull requests, commits, or tasks during the selected period.
💡 Comments are conversations, each one is a chance to improve the code before it ships.
What It Measures
Counts comments you authored on pull requests, commits, or tasks during the selected period.
Why It Matters
Understanding your collaboration intensity and communication load
Monitoring how actively you participate in discussions and feedback
How It's Calculated
Counts each comment you made in the date range.
COUNT(comment_events WHERE timestamp BETWEEN measure_from AND measure_to)Concrete Example
If you left 30 comments across 10 pull requests, that's an average of 3 comments per PR, a sign of engaged, thorough review.
What Does a Healthy Score Look Like?
Context matters, too few may mean shallow reviews, too many may slow delivery.
Healthy
10–40 comments per week
Watch Out
Fewer than 5 or more than 80 per week
Needs Attention
Near zero or consistently very high (review bottleneck)
What Moves This Metric?
Goes up when…
More pull requests in review, more surface area to comment on
More thorough or detailed review culture
Complex or risky code changes that need discussion
Goes down when…
Fewer pull requests open for review
Smaller, simpler changes that need little discussion
Team relying on async tools (Slack, meetings) instead of PR comments
