## What it does

Run `/feedback:bug-report` or `/feedback:feature-request` to start the matching flow, or open the corresponding feedback session in the app. Each flow follows its own instructions and uses an issue template for `nimbalyst/nimbalyst`.

The skill can retrieve environment details and, with permission, error logs. It sends text containing paths or workspace details through an anonymization tool, then checks the result for other sensitive material. It opens the GitHub form only after the user approves the final title and body. The user submits the issue on GitHub.

Log access is limited to bug reports where log gathering is allowed; feature requests cannot read logs. If a report is too long for a URL, the skill shows the text in chat and opens a blank issue form so the user can paste it there.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nimbalyst/nimbalyst --skill feedback-intake -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/feedback-intake/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/feedback-intake/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nimbalyst/nimbalyst --skill feedback-intake -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/feedback-intake/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nimbalyst/nimbalyst --skill feedback-intake -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/feedback-intake/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install nimbalyst/nimbalyst feedback-intake
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/feedback-intake/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nimbalyst/nimbalyst --skill feedback-intake -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/nimbalyst/nimbalyst --path packages/extensions/feedback/claude-plugin/skills/feedback-intake
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/feedback-intake/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nimbalyst/nimbalyst --skill feedback-intake -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/nimbalyst/nimbalyst/tree/HEAD/packages/extensions/feedback/claude-plugin/skills/feedback-intake/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- draft a Nimbalyst bug report
- prepare a feature request
- anonymize paths and workspace details
- gather permitted logs for an error report

## Example prompts
- Start a bug report for this problem with `/feedback:bug-report`.
- Help me prepare a feature request using `/feedback:feature-request`.
- Draft a bug report and use logs only if I approve log gathering.

# Nimbalyst Feedback Skill

This skill is the entry point for the Nimbalyst in-app feedback flow. It activates when:

- The user runs the `/feedback:bug-report` slash command
- The user runs the `/feedback:feature-request` slash command
- The user opens a session with `sessionType: 'bug-report'` or `sessionType: 'feature-request'`

## Behavior

Read the matching command file:
- For bug reports: `commands/bug-report.md` in this plugin
- For feature requests: `commands/feature-request.md` in this plugin

Both commands share these constraints:

1. **The user is the gate.** Never call `mcp__nimbalyst-situational__feedback_open_github_issue` without explicit user approval of the final title and body.
2. **Anonymize aggressively.** Run anything that includes file paths, log content, environment strings, or workspace identifiers through `mcp__nimbalyst-situational__feedback_anonymize_text` first, then read the output and redact anything else that looks sensitive.
3. **Honor the intake flags.** Bug-report sessions include `Log gathering: allowed` or `Log gathering: not allowed`; feature-request sessions may include `UX mockup: requested` or `UX mockup: not requested`. Only bug reports may read logs, and only when log gathering is allowed.
4. **Handle long reports.** When the drafted body exceeds the URL safe length, the URL builder returns `reason: 'too-long'`. Fall back to: show the body in chat, open a no-body URL, tell the user to paste.
5. **Target repo and templates.** Bug reports use `bug_report.yml`; feature requests use `feature_request.yml`. Both target `nimbalyst/nimbalyst`. Don't hardcode the URL — let the URL builder handle template selection and field-id routing. The GitHub issue type (Bug / Feature) and `status:needs-triage` label come from the template frontmatter, not from the URL builder.

## Tools available

- `mcp__nimbalyst-situational__feedback_anonymize_text(text)` → returns anonymized string
- `mcp__nimbalyst-situational__feedback_get_environment()` → app version, OS, recent error counts
- `mcp__nimbalyst-situational__feedback_open_github_issue({ kind, title, body })` → opens GitHub new-issue page in browser, returns `{ ok, opened, reason?, url? }`
- `mcp__nimbalyst-extension-dev__get_main_process_logs({ lastLines, searchTerm, logLevel, component })` → only with consent
- `mcp__nimbalyst-extension-dev__get_renderer_debug_logs({ lastLines, searchTerm, logLevel })` → only with consent

## Important

- Don't add "generated by AI" or "Co-Authored-By" lines to the issue body.
- Don't claim the issue was submitted; the user clicks Submit on github.com themselves.
