Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Interact with PostHog via its REST API. Two types of endpoints: Public (POST-only, project API key): capture events, evaluate flags โ no rate limits Private (personal API key): query, CRUD for all resources โ rate limited
Get personal API key: https://us.posthog.com/settings/user-api-keys Get project ID: https://us.posthog.com/settings/project#variables Set env vars: export POSTHOG_API_KEY="phx_..." export POSTHOG_PROJECT_ID="12345" export POSTHOG_PROJECT_API_KEY="phc_..." # optional, for capture/flags # For EU Cloud: # export POSTHOG_HOST="https://eu.posthog.com" # export POSTHOG_INGEST_HOST="https://eu.i.posthog.com" Verify: bash scripts/posthog.sh whoami
scripts/posthog.sh wraps common operations. Run bash scripts/posthog.sh help for full usage.
# Capture an event bash scripts/posthog.sh capture "signup" "user_123" '{"plan":"pro"}' # Evaluate feature flags bash scripts/posthog.sh evaluate-flags "user_123" # HogQL query โ top events last 7 days bash scripts/posthog.sh query "SELECT event, count() FROM events WHERE timestamp >= now() - INTERVAL 7 DAY GROUP BY event ORDER BY count() DESC LIMIT 20" # List persons bash scripts/posthog.sh list-persons 10 | jq '.results[] | {name, distinct_ids}' # List feature flags bash scripts/posthog.sh list-flags | jq '.results[] | {id, key, active}' # Create a feature flag echo '{"key":"new-dashboard","name":"New Dashboard","active":true,"filters":{"groups":[{"rollout_percentage":50}]}}' | \ bash scripts/posthog.sh create-flag # List dashboards bash scripts/posthog.sh list-dashboards | jq '.results[] | {id, name}'
Public endpoints (/i/v0/e/, /batch/, /flags): Use project API key in body. No auth header. No rate limits. Private endpoints (/api/projects/:project_id/...): Use personal API key via Authorization: Bearer. Rate limited.
The query endpoint (POST /api/projects/:project_id/query/) is the most powerful way to extract data. Uses SQL-like HogQL syntax against tables: events, persons, sessions, groups, plus data warehouse tables. Always include time ranges and LIMIT. Use timestamp-based pagination for large exports.

The /api/projects/:project_id/events/ endpoint is deprecated. Use HogQL queries or batch exports instead.
