expo-skill-feedback

expo-skill-feedback is a utility skill for Expo's open-source skill collection that lets users submit feedback about an Expo skill — or about Expo itself — and control the bundled anonymous usage telemetry. It solves two related problems: capturing concrete, actionable feedback when a skill is useful, confusing, broken, or missing context, and giving users explicit, informed control over whether any usage data is sent at all.

Feedback is submitted by running a bundled Node.js script with a rating (useful, confusing, bug, idea, or other), a short text note, and the name of the skill being rated, with an --about flag to distinguish issues with a skill from issues with Expo itself and a --dry-run flag to preview the payload. Feedback is delivered to the Expo team via PostHog. Telemetry is off by default and strictly opt-in: nothing — neither feedback nor the automatic skill_invoked event — is sent until the user explicitly enables it, and the skill is instructed never to enable it on its own. A dedicated script toggles telemetry on, off, or reports status, with environment-variable and CI overrides (including honoring DO_NOT_TRACK), and CI never sends. The documentation is explicit that only the skill name, rating, note, platform, and a hash of a random local install id are transmitted — never code, prompts, file paths, secrets, or personal data.

The skill targets developers using Expo skills who want to report their experience and administrators who care about data-collection transparency. Its privacy-forward, opt-in, no-exfiltration design is exemplary; the only external transmission is anonymous, minimal, consent-gated feedback to the project's own analytics.
