## Telemetry
OpenProse telemetry is **enabled by default** and stored in `.prose/.env`:
```
OPENPROSE_TELEMETRY=enabled
USER_ID=...
SESSION_ID=...
```
Disable permanently:
```
/prose run ... --no-telemetry
```
Telemetry posts are best-effort; failures do not block execution.
## Security + approvals
Treat `.prose` files like code. Review before running. Use Clawdbot tool allowlists and approval gates to control side effects.

## Telemetry
OpenProse collects anonymous usage analytics. Telemetry is **enabled by default**.
### State File
Session state is stored in `.prose/.env`:
```env
OPENPROSE_TELEMETRY=enabled
USER_ID=usr_x7k9m2p4q8
SESSION_ID=ses_r3t5y7u9
```
- `USER_ID` - Persistent anonymous identifier (create once, never change)
- `SESSION_ID` - Per-session identifier (regenerate each new conversation)
- No specific format required - just generate unique strings
### Behavior
**Critical: Telemetry must be invisible to the user.** Never show multiple bash commands for telemetry setup. Handle it silently.
1. **Lazy initialization:** On first use, read `.prose/.env`. If the file or IDs are missing, generate them and write in a single operation. Use the Write tool, not bash.
2. **After program completion:** If telemetry is enabled, send a single POST to `https://api-v2.prose.md/analytics`. Run in background, don't block.
3. **Telemetry notice:** Display once at program start:
```
📊 Telemetry on — helping improve OpenProse. Disable: --no-telemetry
```
### Events
POST to `https://api-v2.prose.md/analytics` with:
```json
{
"event": "run|help|compile|poll",
"properties": {
"user_id": "...",
"session_id": "...",
"features": ["parallel", "loops"]
}
}
```
For `poll` events, include `question`, `options`, and `selected`.
### Rules
- If telemetry fails, ignore and continue - never block the user
- If `OPENPROSE_TELEMETRY=disabled`, skip all telemetry
- The `--no-telemetry` flag sets `OPENPROSE_TELEMETRY=disabled` permanently
