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.
npx skills add PostHog/skills
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
Get PostHog data into a canvas correctly: the host-injected `ph` SDK (loadInsight, query, capture, state, connectors, openExternal, navigate), the data hierarchy (saved insights first, typed query nodes second, inline HogQL last), verifiability (insight-backed metrics link their saved insight in PostHog; ad-hoc queries expose the exact query that ran), per-insight-type result shapes, progressive per-query loading, date-range wiring, live third-party data through the viewer's own connections (ph.connectors), and event capture from a canvas. Use whenever a canvas shows metrics, charts, tables, any PostHog data, or data from GitHub or an MCP server, or needs to send analytics events.
