# Using Subtext

This plugin gives you read-only access to Fullstory session recordings, plus privacy-rule management.

## When to reach for what

| Signal | Skill |
|--------|-------|
| You don't have a URL — find sessions by what happened in them (visited URL, network status, custom event) | `subtext-search` |
| You have a session URL / want to know what happened | `subtext-review` |
| You need the session-replay tool catalog (`review-*`) | `subtext-session` |
| Detect PII or manage element-block, URL, or network privacy rules | `subtext-privacy` |
| Log workflow milestones (e.g. onboarding progress) for analytics | `subtext-telemetry` |
| The project has a `.sightmap/` corpus, or you want annotated component snapshots | `subtext-sightmap` |
| Author/maintain a `.sightmap/` corpus, or drive a live browser against it | `sightmap-authoring`, `sightmap-browser` |

## Sightmap

This plugin also bundles the **sightmap** skills — `sightmap-authoring` and
`sightmap-browser` (maintained in the [sightmap](https://github.com/sightmap/sightmap)
project, vendored here) — for building and driving a `.sightmap/` corpus.
`subtext-sightmap` is the bridge: it explains how a corpus feeds the `review-*`
tools for annotated snapshots.

## Notes

- Everything here is read-only analysis **except** `privacy-create` / `privacy-promote` / `privacy-delete` / `privacy-url-create` / `privacy-network-create`, which modify org privacy rules — confirm with the user first. (`telemetry-event` writes analytics events only, never org configuration — no confirmation needed.)
- This plugin does **not** drive a live browser or capture before/after proof of code changes. That lives in the separate **Subtext Verify** plugin.
