DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Skill usage report says when the transcript scan was blocked

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Skills

The skill usage report asks permission to scan transcripts and states the reason if refused.

What

The skill doctor report counts weekly token usage by scanning session transcripts stored on your machine. It now asks permission first, and when refused it shows an empty count plus a note giving the reason instead of silently reporting nothing.

Details
  • Accompanying text explains the counts are "Not shown for HIPAA-regulated organizations", because producing them requires scanning locally saved transcripts.
  • The cli_skill_doctor telemetry event records scan_policy_denied in that case, alongside the existing no-user-skills case.
  • What the permission check consults is not visible in this build.
Evidence

scan_policy_denied, Not shown for HIPAA-regulated organizations: measured by scanning the session transcripts saved on this machine.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
