 # Changelog
 
+## [0.6.5] - 2026-03-18
+
+### Added
+
+- **Safety guardrails you can turn on with one command.** Say "be careful" or "safety mode" and `/careful` will warn you before any destructive command — `rm -rf`, `DROP TABLE`, force-push, `kubectl delete`, and more. You can override every warning. Common build artifact cleanups (`rm -rf node_modules`, `dist`, `.next`) are whitelisted.
+- **Lock edits to one folder with `/freeze`.** Debugging something and don't want Claude to "fix" unrelated code? `/freeze` blocks all file edits outside a directory you choose. Hard block, not just a warning. Run `/unfreeze` to remove the restriction without ending your session.
+- **`/guard` activates both at once.** One command for maximum safety when touching prod or live systems — destructive command warnings plus directory-scoped edit restrictions.
+- **You can now see which skills you use and how often.** Every skill invocation is logged locally to `~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl`. Run `bun run analytics` to see your top skills, per-repo breakdown, and how often safety hooks actually catch something. Data stays on your machine.
+- **Weekly retros now include skill usage.** `/retro` shows which skills you used during the retro window alongside your usual commit analysis and metrics.

 ## Safety & Observability
 
-### On-demand hook skills (/careful, /freeze, /guard)
+### On-demand hook skills (/careful, /freeze, /guard) — SHIPPED
 
-**What:** Three new skills that use Claude Code's session-scoped PreToolUse hooks to add safety guardrails on demand.
+~~**What:** Three new skills that use Claude Code's session-scoped PreToolUse hooks to add safety guardrails on demand.~~
 
-**Why:** Anthropic's internal skill best practices recommend on-demand hooks for safety. Claude Code already handles destructive command permissions, but these add an explicit opt-in layer for high-risk sessions (touching prod, debugging live systems).
+Shipped as `/careful`, `/freeze`, `/guard`, and `/unfreeze` in v0.6.5. Includes hook fire-rate telemetry (pattern name only, no command content) and inline skill activation telemetry.
 
-**Skills:**
-- `/careful` — PreToolUse hook on Bash tool. Warns (not blocks) before destructive commands: `rm -rf`, `DROP TABLE`, `git push --force`, `git reset --hard`, `kubectl delete`, `docker system prune`. Uses `permissionDecision: "ask"` so user can override.
-- `/freeze` — PreToolUse hook on Edit/Write tools. Restricts file edits to a user-specified directory. Great for debugging without accidentally "fixing" unrelated code.
-- `/guard` — meta-skill composing `/careful` + `/freeze` into one command.
+### Skill usage telemetry — SHIPPED
 
-**Implementation notes:** Use `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` (not `${SKILL_DIR}`) for script paths in hook commands. Pure bash JSON parsing (no jq dependency). Freeze dir storage: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/freeze-dir.txt` with `~/.gstack/freeze-dir.txt` fallback. Ensure trailing `/` on freeze dir paths to prevent `/src` matching `/src-old`.
+~~**What:** Track which skills get invoked, how often, from which repo.~~

-### Skill usage telemetry
-
-**What:** Track which skills get invoked, how often, from which repo.
-
-**Why:** Enables finding undertriggering skills and measuring adoption. Anthropic uses a PreToolUse hook for this; simpler approach is appending JSONL from the preamble.
-
-**Context:** Add to `generatePreamble()` in `scripts/gen-skill-docs.ts`. Append to `~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl` with skill name, timestamp, and repo name. `mkdir -p` ensures the directory exists.
-
-**Effort:** S (human) / S (CC)
-**Priority:** P3
-**Depends on:** None
+Shipped in v0.6.5. TemplateContext in gen-skill-docs.ts bakes skill name into preamble telemetry line. Analytics CLI (`bun run analytics`) for querying. /retro integration shows skills-used-this-week.
