— the description by PostHog

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides guidance on integrating PostHog error tracking into Go applications. It covers the essential setup, configuration of environment variables, and best practices for capturing exceptions. The skill also details how to manage issues through PostHog, including manual and automatic assignment, alerting configurations, and monitoring strategies to ensure effective error resolution.

What it does

Guides the integration of PostHog error tracking SDK into Go applications.
Provides best practices for using environment variables for sensitive configuration.
Explains how to configure automatic issue assignment rules based on exception properties.
Details how to set up alerts for new, reopened, or spiking issues via Slack, Discord, or webhooks.
Describes how to assign issues to specific teammates or roles for better triage.
Outlines methods for monitoring and searching issues within the PostHog dashboard.

When to use it

When you need to implement robust error tracking in a Go-based service.
When you want to centralize error reporting and automate issue assignment to specific teams.
When you need to set up real-time notifications for critical application errors.
When you need to analyze error trends or spikes to identify deployment issues.

Advantages

Enables seamless integration with existing Go error handling patterns.
Supports automated triage through configurable assignment rules.
Provides flexible alerting options to keep teams informed of critical issues.
Facilitates better debugging through stack trace analysis and issue properties.

Usage examples

“How do I initialize PostHog error tracking in my Go application?”: The skill instructs you to use the PostHog Go SDK, emphasizing the use of environment variables for keys and enabling autocapture for exception tracking.
“How can I notify my team when a specific error occurs in Go?”: You can configure alert rules in the PostHog error tracking settings to trigger notifications via Slack or webhooks based on specific exception properties.

Key principles

Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys and host URLs. Never hardcode them.
Minimal changes: Add error tracking alongside existing error handling. Don't replace or restructure existing error handling code.
Autocapture first: Enable exception autocapture in the SDK initialization before adding manual captures.
Source maps: Upload source maps so stack traces resolve to original source code, not minified bundles.
Manual capture for boundaries: Use captureException() at error boundaries and catch blocks for errors that don't propagate to the global handler.

Framework guidelines

No specific framework guidelines.
