# Telemetry (#106, #1405) Role: worker. Manages consent for and reports the local, opt-in telemetry beacon. The beacon (`hooks/telemetry.py`) records MINIMAL events — a command NAME, a skill NAME (including agent-/auto-invoked skills), a gate name + outcome, and the plugin version — to `~/.claude/metrics/telemetry.jsonl`. No prompts, paths, code, or payloads are ever recorded, and there is **no network egress**: everything stays local. Telemetry is **OFF by default**. It activates only when the user-level `~/.claude/telemetry.json` contains `{"enabled": true}`. This is a config-file-only, home-scoped switch: it is read and written at this one path regardless of which project directory the command runs from. ## Scope — keep this small (#106) This beacon is intentionally a **cheap, always-on local counter**: which commands/skills run, how often the commit gate is bypassed. It is **not** the self-improvement loop and must not grow into one. The loop is `/session-review`, whose digest already extracts a superset of these signals (token, rework, accuracy, utilization) from transcripts and routes suggestions to governed machinery. Cross-machine aggregation also belongs to the **session-digest** (Delta D / #178), not this beacon. If you find yourself adding analysis or network egress here, that work belongs in `/session-review` instead. ## Argument: $ARGUMENTS - `status` (default): report whether telemetry is enabled and what's collected. - `on`: enable by writing `~/.claude/telemetry.json` with `{"enabled": true}` (confirm with the user first — this starts local recording). - `off`: disable by writing `{"enabled": false}` (recording stops; the existing log is left in place for the user to inspect or delete). - `report`: print the usage summary. ## Steps 1. **status** — check `~/.claude/telemetry.json`; state on/off, and list exactly what is and isn't collected (events: command/skill name, gate fired/bypassed, plugin version; never: prompt text, paths, code, network). 2. **on / off** — write `~/.claude/telemetry.json`: ```json { "enabled": true } ``` For `on`, confirm consent first. Recording is local-only; the event log `~/.claude/metrics/telemetry.jsonl` lives outside any project directory so it can never be committed. 3. **report** — summarize the event log: ```bash python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/lib/telemetry_report.py" \ --log "$HOME/.claude/metrics/telemetry.jsonl" ``` Shows command usage, skill usage (including agent-/auto-invoked skills, counted distinctly from user-typed commands), and the pre-commit review gate's bypass rate. If the log doesn't exist, the report says telemetry is off and nothing has left the machine. Report exactly what the tool emits; do not invent counts.
