modeling-product-usage-metrics
modeling-product-usage-metrics 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.
Build and compute product-usage metrics such as retention, stickiness, and lifecycle using either PostHog's HogQL or an external dbt project. Requires credentials for accessing PostHog data-warehouse views or an external dbt project.
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
Build reusable product-usage and engagement models — retention, stickiness, and lifecycle — on either PostHog data-warehouse views (HogQL) or an external dbt project. Use when the user wants to model, define, or compute whether users come back (retention / churn), how frequently they engage (stickiness / power users / DAU-WAU-MAU ratio), or the composition of the active base (new / returning / resurrecting / dormant lifecycle). These three are one engagement family sharing a start-event/return-event vocabulary and an interval granularity; this skill treats them together and helps pick the right lens: retention for the return-rate cohort matrix, stickiness for the frequency distribution, lifecycle for growth quality. On PostHog, model them in HogQL (mirroring query-retention / query-stickiness / query-lifecycle); in dbt, build fct_retention / fct_stickiness / fct_lifecycle marts with tests. Read modeling-warehouse-foundations first; feeds the retention validation used by modeling-activation-metrics.
