- Fixing Flaky TestsGuides an agent through reproducing, root-causing, fixing, and validating flaky tests in the PostHog monorepo. Use when a test fails intermittently in CI but passes on rerun or locally, when `hogli ci:insights` or the debugging-ci-failures skill classifies a failure as a flaky test, when given a GitHub Actions URL for a flaky job, when asked to check Trunk Flaky Tests for a test, PR, or master, or when asked to deflake, stabilize, or fix a flaky Jest, pytest, or Playwright test. Core discipli...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Gating Production DeploysUse when adding or editing a GitHub Actions workflow that pushes a container image to a registry (ECR/ghcr/Docker Hub via build-push-action) or dispatches a production deploy (a `commit_state_update` repository_dispatch to PostHog/charts). Those run from a single canonical deploy repo, gated by the CD_DEPLOY_ENABLED variable. Does NOT apply to workflows that publish GitHub releases, npm, crates, or Homebrew — those stay on the public repo.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Generating Clickhouse Query Performance ReportsProduce and structure slow-query performance reports for PostHog's production ClickHouse (US and EU). Use when asked for a slow query report, query performance analysis over the last N days, per-team query cost, OOM or timeout investigation, cluster cost/memory regressions, or materialization candidates. Covers the modern `query_log_archive` source (typed `lc_*` columns, multi-day retention), how to categorize and attribute slow queries, root-cause patterns (unmaterialized JSONExtract, high-c...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- HogliPostHog developer CLI and repo tooling reference. Use when the user mentions hogli, asks about repo CLI tools, bin scripts, Makefiles, how to run/build/test/lint, or any dev environment commands.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Implementing Mcp ToolsGuide for exposing PostHog product endpoints as MCP tools. Use when creating new or updating API endpoints, adding MCP tool definitions, scaffolding YAML configs, or writing serializers with good descriptions. Covers the full pipeline from Django serializer to generated TypeScript tool handler.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Implementing Mcp Ui AppsGuide for adding MCP UI apps — interactive visualizations that render tool results in MCP clients like Claude Desktop. Use when adding a new detail or list view for an MCP tool, creating view components in products/*/mcp/apps/, or linking tools to UI apps via YAML.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Implementing Warehouse SourcesImplement and extend PostHog Data warehouse import sources. Use when adding a new source under products/warehouse_sources/backend/temporal/data_imports/sources, adding datasets/endpoints to an existing source, or adding incremental sync, resumable imports, webhook ingestion, pagination, credentials validation, and source tests.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Improving Drf EndpointsUse when editing, reviewing, or auditing DRF viewsets and serializers in PostHog. Triggers on files in posthog/api/, products/*/backend/api/, products/*/backend/presentation/, or any file importing rest_framework. Covers field typing, schema annotations, enum collision fixes, and OpenAPI spec quality — everything that flows downstream into generated TypeScript types and MCP tools.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Ingestion Pipeline Doctor NodejsIngestion pipeline architecture overview and convention reference. Use when you need a quick orientation to the pipeline framework or want to know which doctor agent to use for a specific concern.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Instrumenting First Party MetricsHow to instrument PostHog's own Metrics product from PostHog-owned code — record counters, gauges, and histograms that land in posthog.metrics, the same way customers do. Use when adding application metrics in this monorepo (web, Celery, Temporal), when asked to push or ship metrics into posthog metrics, or when unsure whether the SDK in this environment supports posthog.metrics yet. Covers the environment decision (SDK-first per the public docs, OTel fallback when the SDK path is not availab...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Integrating With Posthog AiWire a PostHog product surface into the PostHog AI agent from the frontend. Use when attaching scene or entity context, injecting instructions to steer the agent, reacting to the agent calling a tool, applying an agent edit back into an open form, or rendering a product tool card in a thread.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Isolating Product Facade ContractsPlan and execute product isolation migrations to a facade plus contract layer in PostHog, following the Visual review architecture. Use when a product still exposes internals (models/logic/views) across boundaries and needs migration toward contracts.py + facade/api.py + presentation separation, with a PR strategy that minimizes review latency and conflicts with parallel work.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Maintaining Python TestsMaintains existing pytest and Django test suites without weakening correctness. Use when asked to reduce Python test runtime or CI work, investigate slow pytest families, remove stale migration tests, consolidate repeated setup, improve Python test ownership, or measure whether a test optimization worked after merge. Ranks work by measured cost, applies the writing-tests value gate to existing coverage, preserves distinct behavior cases, validates isolation after shared-fixture changes, and s...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Manage Dashboard WidgetsGuides PostHog engineers through dashboard widget platform work — ship a new widget_type (WIDGET_REGISTRY, catalog, run_widgets, WidgetCard) or update a shipped type (config, query, layout, RBAC, tile filter bar, list footer, titleHref, throttles). Use for WidgetSpec, widget_specs/, widget-configs.zod.ts, hogli build:openapi, error_tracking_list, session_replay_list, widgetFilters, formatWidgetListCountFooter, widget_query_throttle, or WidgetCard composition. New types need widget-intake conf...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048

Covers normal, shared, embedded, export, product-embedded, and template surfaces; RBAC; cache and query behavior; responsive layouts; and large or small dashboards. Use manage-dashboard-widgets...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Managing Github Actions SecretsCreates and updates GitHub Actions secrets for PostHog workflows. Use when adding a new CI secret, rotating an existing secret, wiring a workflow to an API token, package registry credential, deploy key, or any value referenced via `${{ secrets.* }}` in `.github/workflows/`.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Merging PrsMerge a PR into `master` through the Trunk merge queue and babysit it until it lands. Enqueue with a `/trunk merge` comment, then watch `trunk merge status` and the PR state until it is MERGED or the queue kicks it out, reporting Trunk's own reason for the terminal transition. Use when asked to merge a PR, "merge when ready", "land it", "ship it", to merge a whole stack (comment on the top PR — the queue merges it and every layer below atomically), to get a PR approved by stamphog (MCP review...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Migrating Llm Gateway CallersMigrates an LLM caller from services/llm-gateway to PostHog/ai-gateway. Use when adding a gateway caller, converting an existing Python gateway integration, adopting shared Go-capable client builders, changing gateway URLs or headers for a caller, or removing a Python fallback. Inventories the caller's contract, checks the parity record, implements the supported migration, updates tests, and stops with a documented blocker when Go parity is missing.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Modifying Taxonomic FilterGuides safe changes to the TaxonomicFilter, PostHog's picker for events, actions, properties, cohorts, and more. Use when adding features, fixing bugs, improving search or loading performance, or refactoring the classic picker, rebuild menu, or headless filter panel. Covers real selection behavior, two live surfaces, shared telemetry, the conditional Postgres search plan, and result reveal rules.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Monitoring Capture ServiceGuide for using the Grafana MCP to monitor and diagnose the capture service (rust/capture) in production. Use when investigating latency, event loss, Kafka backpressure, Redis issues, rate limiting, Envoy proxy issues, or any capture health question. Covers prod-us and prod-eu environments.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Monitoring Ingestion PipelineGuide for using the Grafana MCP to monitor and diagnose the Node.js ingestion pipeline workers in production. Use when investigating event lag, drops, pipeline errors, person/group processing, Kafka consumer health, Redis, Postgres, ClickHouse downstream health, or any ingestion worker question. Covers prod-us and prod-eu environments.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Optimizing Clickhouse And Hogql QueriesWorkflow for optimizing ClickHouse and HogQL queries. Use when a HogQL query, query runner, insight, or report is too slow; when a hand-written ClickHouse query (via `sync_execute` or in a migration) is too slow; when ClickHouse times out or hits memory limits; when investigating a slow `system.query_log` row; or when reviewing a proposed HogQL printer change for performance. Covers extracting the ClickHouse SQL, common smells (`FROM ... FINAL`, `JSONExtract` over properties, missing skip ind...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Placing Product Frontend CodeDecide which tree a frontend file belongs in — `products/<name>/frontend/` or `frontend/src/scenes/<name>/` — and explain why the boundary is real rather than stylistic. Use when adding a new scene, component, or logic file for a product; when creating a new directory under `frontend/src/scenes/`; when a product has UI in both trees and you need to know which side to extend; or when moving a scene into its product. Covers the merge-queue lane cost of the split, the measurement showing a depen...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Playwright TestWrite a playwright test, make sure it runs, and is not flaky.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Posthog DesktopScopes work to the desktop app at products/desktop — a nested standalone pnpm/turbo/Biome workspace imported from the now-archived PostHog/code repo, with posthog/posthog the only source of truth for PRs, CI and publishing, and not part of the root frontend or Django build. Use when the user says /posthog-desktop, or works on the Electron desktop app, apps/code, apps/web, apps/mobile, packages/core, packages/ui, packages/workspace-server, @posthog/api-client, @posthog/agent, or the agent fram...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Qa FrontendInternal PostHog developer frontend/browser QA skill. Use only when a PostHog developer explicitly asks to run frontend QA, browser-test a PR, verify a UI flow against the local PostHog stack, use qa-frontend, or QA current frontend changes with browser/runtime evidence. Do not use for generic code review, PR review, "check my changes", CI debugging, or security audit; use qa-team, debugging-ci-failures, or security-audit instead. Runs in PR mode or local mode, plans adaptive browser and visu...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Qa TeamMulti-agent QA review team for code changes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "review my code", "run QA", "qa-team", "review this branch", "code review", "check my changes", or wants a comprehensive multi-perspective code review of the current branch's changes. Spawns parallel specialist agents (security, database, reliability, compatibility, data integrity, performance, frontend, copy) that independently review the diff and produce a converged report. Also includes two general...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Query Clickhouse Via MetabaseRun ClickHouse `system.query_log` analysis via the internal Metabase API. Use when investigating slow queries, materialization candidates, per-team query performance, ClickHouse cost or memory issues, or any system.query_log question. Covers prod-us and prod-eu, SSO-gated cookie auth via `hogli`, and ready-to-run query patterns.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Querying Local PostgresRun read-only SQL against the local Postgres app database (SELECT, EXPLAIN, EXPLAIN ANALYZE on SELECT). Default local URL postgres://posthog:posthog@localhost:5432/posthog; else DATABASE_URL. Use when querying the local DB, inspecting tables, debugging data, or analyzing query plans. Mutations are strictly forbidden.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Querying TophogQuery tophog — the ingestion pipeline's heavy-hitter store in ClickHouse — to identify hot or expensive actors (team_id, distinct_id, session_id, partition) during incident triage. Use when investigating ingestion lag, a hot or lagging Kafka partition, expensive person processing, merge storms, or any "which team or distinct_id is causing this" question. Covers the internal Metabase access path (SSO via hogli), the tophog schema, and the cost-vs-volume query lens. Internal-only: results conta...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Reviewing Personhog ProtocolThe full review process for personhog coordination-protocol changes — leases, fencing, handoffs, supervisors, failure budgets, warming, and changelog semantics. Use before pushing or requesting review on any personhog protocol changeset, when asked for an exhaustive or careful review of personhog code, and after any reviewer finds a gap the author missed. Covers the adversarial two-pass process, the review lens dimensions, the model-checking and test layers a change must clear, and the red-ch...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Run PosthogStart, inspect, and drive the PostHog dev stack. Use for /run and /verify on this repo — when asked to launch PostHog, check whether the stack is healthy, inspect a running process, or verify a UI change against the live app.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Running Ci PreflightCatch the deterministic CI failures reachable from your diff before pushing, with `hogli ci:preflight`. Use when the pre-push hook blocks a push, before reporting a task done, or after editing Python, serializers, migrations, workflows, or dependency manifests — to avoid burning a CI matrix on a failure you could catch locally (formatting, lint, broken lockfiles, OpenAPI drift, migration conflict, stale branch). Trigger terms: ci:preflight, preflight, pre-push checks, pre-push hook failed, "w...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Scene Menu BarConventions for adding or editing the SceneMenuBar above a scene's <SceneTitleSection>. Use when adding new menu items, moving items between menus, gating behind feature flags, building a new scene's menubar, or wiring rich inputs (tags, combobox) into the bar.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Security AuditFocused security audit of code, calibrated to surface real exploitable bugs and suppress theoretical findings. Use when the user asks to "audit", "security-audit", "find vulnerabilities", "check for IDOR/SSRF/XSS/injection", or wants a security review of a file, directory, branch diff, or PR. Covers access control, injection, auth/secrets, sensitive data, business logic, web boundary, and AI agent/LLM trifecta risks. Produces calibrated findings with data flow, exploit request, fix, and confi...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Sending NotificationsHow to send real-time in-app notifications from PostHog backend code. Use when integrating notifications into a new feature, wiring up a notification source (alerts, comments, approvals, pipelines, issues), or choosing the right target type and priority for a notification.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Setting Feature Flags In StorybookUse when writing a Storybook story for a component gated on a feature flag — boolean flags or multivariate/experiment-arm variants. Covers the `featureFlags` story parameter and why imperatively setting flags renders the flag-off branch in visual-regression snapshots while passing in jest.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Setting Up DevboxStarts, connects to, and troubleshoots a PostHog devbox, a remote Coder workspace for PostHog development that can also run the full stack, through `hogli devbox:*` commands. Use when asked to spin up or resume a devbox, open a shell or editor on it, run a command on it, mirror a local checkout to it (devbox:sync), run the PostHog app on it and share a link, clone, update, share, or free disk on a devbox, store gh or Claude Code tokens for it, or diagnose a failing devbox command (tailnet, DN...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Setup Web TestsSet up Python test environment in Claude Code for web where flox is unavailable. Use when you need to run backend tests and `uv sync` fails due to Python version mismatch.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Splitting Oversized ModulesSplit an oversized Python module (a thousand-plus-line logic.py, models.py, api.py, or its test file) into a package of one module per concern, mechanically and provably without changing behavior. Use on a request to split / break up / decompose a god module or move functions out of one, once a human has agreed to split one before some other change, or before restructuring code inside a module already over roughly a thousand lines — breaking up a long function or extracting helpers in place l...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Stacking PrsCreate and manage GitHub native Stacked PRs in this repo with the `gh stack` CLI. Use when asked to stack PRs, split a large change into a stack, add a layer to a stack, restack or rebase a stack, adopt existing branches or PRs into a stack, check out someone else's stack, or land a stack. Covers creating and submitting stacks (draft-first), cascade rebases with `gh stack sync`, and landing one through the Trunk merge queue via `/merging-prs` — whole-stack via `/trunk merge` on the top layer,...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Survey Sdk AuditAudit PostHog survey SDK features and version requirements, and implement survey changes across the backend, UI, and SDK repositories.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Triaging Merge Queue FailuresDecision procedure for a PR that failed or was removed from the Trunk merge queue: classify the kick (superseded by a newer commit, not mergeable, a gate that failed on a cancelled run, real failure, one-off flake, or repo-wide flaky/infra issue) and take the matching action (wait, hold and fix, requeue once, or escalate instead of spam-retrying). Use when a PR is kicked from the queue, Trunk reports a failed queue attempt on a PR, someone asks "why was my PR removed from the queue" or "shoul...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Triaging Warehouse Sync TicketsDebug a customer's data warehouse source, schema, or table from a support ticket, using PostHog's own production data. Use when a ticket says a warehouse table is stale, empty, stuck, duplicated, missing rows, or failing to sync, and you need the real state of the sync rather than the customer's description. The customer is on a team your MCP session cannot reach, so every answer comes from execute-sql with a connectionId set to a direct-connect source over PostHog's live production databases...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Triaging Web Analytics SupportTriage web analytics support tickets end to end: enumerate open tickets from the in-app conversations product and their Zendesk mirrors, classify each into a diagnostic shape (frontend crash, "two numbers don't match", traffic count drop, tracker not loading / undercounting vs a competitor, ad-platform integration error, channel type misclassification), run the matching playbook, and produce reply drafts plus fix PRs where warranted. Use when asked to triage the web analytics support channel,...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Using Kea DisposablesUse 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` from the `kea-disposables` package. Replaces the bare `cache.foo = setInterval(...)` + `beforeUnmount: clearInterva...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Using Redis Token BucketsUse when adding a bucket-like rate limit backed by Redis: a per-caller budget with burst capacity and continuous refill, a refund path for requests that did no work, or a limit whose Retry-After must be a real wait rather than a window edge. `posthog/token_bucket.py` provides an atomic Lua token bucket (`consume`, `refund`, `peek`) over `posthog.redis.get_client()`. Choose it over DRF `SimpleRateThrottle`/fixed-window cache counters when boundary bursts, top-of-window lockouts, or charge-then...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Visualizing Change Over TimeHelps 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", "s...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Warehouse Source New VersionAdd support for a new vendor API version to an existing Data warehouse import source, or deprecate an old one. Use when a vendor ships a new API version (Stripe date versions, Shopify quarterly versions, header-pinned revisions, /vN/ URL bumps), when implementing a version-update or deprecation task for a source under products/warehouse_sources/backend/temporal/data_imports/sources, or when repinning an ExternalDataSource to a different version. Covers deciding whether a newly announced versi...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
- Writing Clickhouse QueriesGuide 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.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 40,048
