Telemetry
Telemetry
ClawHub uses minimal CLI telemetry to compute aggregate install counts.
When telemetry is collected
Telemetry is only sent when:
- You are logged in in the CLI.
- You run
clawhub install <slug>. - Telemetry is not disabled (see “How to disable” below).
If you are not logged in, nothing is reported.
What we collect
On each reported clawhub install, the CLI sends one best-effort install event.
The event includes:
rootId: a SHA-256 hash of the canonical root path (server never sees the raw path).rootLabel: a short label derived from the last two path segments (home paths are shown with~).slug: the installed skill slug.version: the installed version, when known.
What we do not collect
- No raw absolute folder paths (only hashed
rootId+ a short display label). - No file contents.
- No per-run logs, prompts, or other CLI output.
Install counts
ClawHub maintains aggregate counters per skill:
installsAllTime: unique users who have reported at least one CLI install for the skill.installsCurrent: unique users who have reported an install and have not deleted their telemetry.
Transparency + user controls
ClawHub provides a private “Installed” tab on your own profile:
- Shows install telemetry associated with your account.
- Includes a JSON export view.
- Includes a Delete telemetry action to remove all stored telemetry for your account.
Everyone else only sees aggregated install counters.
Deleting your account also deletes your telemetry data.
How to disable telemetry
Set the environment variable:
export CLAWHUB_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1With this set, the CLI will not send install telemetry.
