Skill Issue

Privacy Policy

Last updated 2026-05-28

Skill Issue is operated by Shaan Satsangi (“we”). This policy explains, in plain language, what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We collect as little as we need to run the service.

What we collect

  • GitHub profile (if you sign in). We use GitHub OAuth with read-only read:user scope to read your public profile (login, name, avatar). Your GitHub access token is encrypted at rest.
  • Analyses and history. When signed in, the analyses you run are saved to your history until you delete them.
  • IP address. Used transiently to rate-limit requests and prevent abuse.
  • Usage and error data. Aggregate product analytics and error reports help us keep the service working.
  • A session cookie. Keeps you signed in.

How we use it

To generate and display your report, save your history when you’re signed in, prevent abuse, and improve reliability. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Who we share it with

We rely on a few service providers to run Skill Issue:

  • GitHub — the source of the public data we analyze.
  • Vercel — hosting.
  • Neon — database (accounts, saved analyses).
  • Upstash — short-lived caching and rate-limit counters.
  • Groq — generates the AI narrative from your report.
  • Sentry — error monitoring.
  • PostHog — product analytics.

How long we keep it

Sign-in sessions expire after about 30 days. Saved analyses stay until you delete them. Caches are short-lived and expire automatically.

Your choices

You can delete saved analyses from your history, sign out at any time, and revoke Skill Issue’s access from your GitHub application settings.

Cookies

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in and a short-lived cookie during the GitHub sign-in flow. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Children

Skill Issue is intended for users aged 13 and older, consistent with GitHub.

Changes

We may update this policy; the “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
