Reporting Use Cases

The Lines suggested (added) field measures what the assistant offered, in lines of code.

  • Line-level acceptance: SUM(lines_added) / SUM(lines_suggested_added) is a finer measure than suggestion counts, because it weights a one-line completion differently from a whole function.

  • Volume of AI output: It shows how much code the tool is producing, independently of how much survives review.

  • Only two providers report it: Anthropic and the OpenAI integrations publish no suggested line counts.
