Send synthetic single-session multi-page traffic to a URL and confirm PostHog $pageview events fire across page views. Use when verifying that cookies persist correctly, that the same distinct_id is reused across navigations, or when debugging session-stitching issues.
Converts engineering analytics (PR / CI) data into saved PostHog insights, dashboards, and subscriptions, and explains what data the product reads so it can be queried directly with SQL. The engineering analytics dashboard and MCP tools run curated HogQL privately over per-team GitHub warehouse tables; this skill teaches discovering those tables via engineering-analytics-sources, replicating the curated column semantics in HogQL, reading the exposed engineering_analytics_* warehouse views where product logic is involved (CI cost, fingerprinted failure lines, commit attribution), saving the query with insight-create, and scheduling delivery with subscriptions-create. Use when asked to "save this as an insight", "put CI health / merge times on a dashboard", "email me PR throughput weekly", "chart CI cost", "track time to first review", "subscribe to these numbers", "alert on CI success rate", or "what data/tables/views does engineering analytics read". For ad-hoc CI and merge questions use diagnosing-ci-and-merge-bottlenecks; to investigate one specific CI failure use investigating-ci-failures.
Use when adding timers (`setInterval`, `setTimeout`), event listeners (`window.addEventListener`, `document.addEventListener`, `MediaQueryList.addEventListener`), or any other resource that needs cleanup inside a kea logic. Every logic has `cache.disposables.add(setup, key?, options?)` and `cache.disposables.dispose(key)` available via the globally registered `disposablesPlugin` (`frontend/src/kea-disposables.ts`). Replaces the bare `cache.foo = setInterval(...)` + `beforeUnmount: clearInterval(cache.foo)` pattern and auto-pauses background work when the tab is hidden.
How to drive PostHog Code's read panel as the user works with you — focus_* etiquette, when to call toast, how to handle 'follow mode' being off. Load when the session client kind is `posthog-code`.
Use this skill to verify that PostHog instrumentation is firing correctly on a website. Drives a real browser at one or more URLs, observes which PostHog events actually arrive, and reports a pass/fail summary. Use after installing the PostHog SDK on a site, after a deploy that touches tracking code, or when events appear missing in the PostHog dashboard.
Helps PostHog engineers and agents pick the right chart when a request is about visualizing change over time, before/after comparisons, or period-over-period movement while building UI with @posthog/quill-charts (dashboards, reports, the mcp_analytics frontend, custom visualizations). Use when a user asks how something "changed", "moved", "grew", "dropped", "improved", or "regressed" between two points or periods, or mentions "before/after", "period over period", "week over week", "delta", "slope graph", "slopegraph", or comparing many series across two snapshots. Surfaces both the `SlopeChart` quill component and the native `ChartDisplayType.SlopeGraph` insight display as options.
Operating without a UI — MCP / IDE / Slack mode. How to compensate for missing client tools, how to be useful in a text-only chat. Load when the session client kind is NOT `posthog-code`.
Guide for writing performant ClickHouse queries in PostHog product code. Use when writing HogQL query runners, designing a ClickHouse table for a new product, adding materialized columns or skip indexes, or choosing a row ID format. For optimizing an existing query that is already too slow, use `/optimizing-clickhouse-and-hogql-queries` instead.
Teaches how to write and run evals on the `products/posthog_ai/eval_harness/` harness — sandboxed agent suites that execute the real coding agent in a Docker or Modal sandbox against a seeded Hedgebox project, and one-shot suites that score a single in-process model invocation per case. Use when adding or changing eval suites, cases, scorers, seeders, or synthesizers under `products/posthog_ai/evals/` or `products/*/evals/`, when touching the harness under `products/posthog_ai/eval_harness/`, or when running or debugging those evals (`hogli evals`). Covers suite kinds and discovery, case anatomy, the seeder/synthesizer split, the one-branch scorer patterns, and how to read results. Not for `ee/hogai/eval/ci/` pytest evals, and not for the LLM Analytics product's evaluation features.
