In @.agents/skills/hackerai-user-research/references/privacy-policy.md:
- Around line 8-11: Update the “Restricted per-user profiles” statement to
clarify that analyst-visible profile content uses generated pseudonyms, while
the restricted record retains the internal user ID solely for deletion and
lifecycle handling; do not expose the pseudonym-to-user linkage.
- Around line 21-23: Refine the export restrictions in
.agents/skills/hackerai-user-research/references/privacy-policy.md lines 21-23
to prohibit cohort IDs, pseudonym-level profiles, raw evidence, and per-user
findings or targeting decisions instead of broadly banning targets and findings,
while explicitly permitting sanitized aggregate report fields. Update
.agents/skills/hackerai-user-research/SKILL.md lines 37-39 to preserve the
aggregate-only export rule and clearly prohibit per-user material.
- Around line 28-31: Update USER_RESEARCH_PROVIDER_OPTIONS so openrouter.zdr is
enabled for both model calls, and verify that the selected x-ai/grok-4.6 route
supports zero-data retention before preserving the stated retention guarantee.
In @.agents/skills/hackerai-user-research/SKILL.md:
- Around line 17-19: Require an approved Linear issue before proceeding with
customer-message research: in .agents/skills/hackerai-user-research/SKILL.md
lines 17-19, create or update the issue and stop until approval is recorded; in
.agents/skills/hackerai-user-research/references/pm-runbook.md lines 5-9,
enforce the same approval gate before cohort selection or message analysis. Do
not treat creating or updating an issue as approval.
In `@convex/userResearch.ts`:
- Around line 274-308: Update the truncated calculation in the message retrieval
flow to compare the deduplicated returned message count with args.maxMessages,
rather than using the extra lookahead lengths from first and last. Preserve the
existing message filtering and ordering behavior.
In `@trigger/user-research.ts`:
- Around line 270-280: Update the parent task output around the analysis result
to remove the per-user profiles mapping, including profile and coverage data.
Return only the aggregate report and counts such as analysisId, status,
failedProfiles, and report, while retaining detailed profiles exclusively in the
restricted Convex record.
