What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the guesswork and manual trial-and-error of adding PostHog instrumentation by guiding you through correct SDK installation, initialization, user identification, and environment setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SDK installation & initialization: Installs the correct PostHog SDK for your detected stack and initializes it in the appropriate location.
  • Provider / wrapper setup: Ensures framework-specific provider or initialization patterns are followed.
  • User identification & session continuity: Adds identify() calls on login/signup and supports passing session/distinct IDs to server code via headers when applicable.
  • Environment variable configuration: Uses env vars for API key and host to avoid hardcoding secrets.

Quick Start

Add PostHog instrumentation to your current codebase using the correct framework reference, including SDK init, identify() on auth, and env var configuration.
