investigating-metric-anomalies
investigating-metric-anomalies is the official agent skill of PostHog published by posthog, listed under analytics & experiments. It lives in the PostHog/skills repository, which has 75 GitHub stars and is licensed under MIT; we last read it on 2026-09-16.
Investigates server/infrastructure metric anomalies in PostHog Metrics by connecting to 'this metric is rising/dropping/spiking' or a fired alert to a probable cause with evidence. It requires no specific credentials and is used for analyzing why a metric looks wrong, responding to alert triggers from OTel/Prometheus metrics, or for incident triage starting from a metric symptom. It integrates with logs and traces for cross-signal root-cause correlation.
Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads PostHog/skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.

What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the skill’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
Investigates server/infrastructure metric anomalies in PostHog Metrics — from "this metric is rising/dropping/spiking" or a fired alert to a probable cause with evidence. Use when asked why a metric looks wrong (ingestion lag rising, error rate spiking, latency degrading, queue depth growing, throughput dropping), when an alert fires on an OTel/Prometheus metric, or for any incident triage that starts from a metric symptom. Composes characterize-metric-anomaly, query-metrics, and metric-names-list with logs (query-logs) and traces (APM span tools) for cross-signal root-cause correlation.
