PostHog error tracking for Hono
— the description by PostHog

AutoGineer summary

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

This skill provides guidance on implementing PostHog error tracking within Hono applications. It covers the essential setup, including SDK initialization, environment variable management, and the use of manual capture for specific error boundaries. The skill emphasizes maintaining existing error handling structures while enhancing observability through PostHog's monitoring, alerting, and issue assignment features.

What it does

  • Provides instructions for installing PostHog error tracking in Hono.
  • Explains how to use environment variables for secure configuration.
  • Outlines best practices for using manual capture at error boundaries.
  • Details how to upload source maps for readable stack traces.
  • Describes how to configure alerts for new or spiking issues.
  • Covers manual and automatic issue assignment to team members.

When to use it

  • When you need to monitor runtime exceptions in a Hono-based application.
  • When you want to receive notifications for critical application errors.
  • When you need to triage and assign errors to specific team members.
  • When you want to improve debugging by resolving minified stack traces.

Advantages

  • Integrates seamlessly without requiring a rewrite of existing error handling.
  • Enables proactive monitoring through automated alerting.
  • Supports team collaboration via issue assignment and filtering.
  • Improves error clarity by supporting source map uploads.

Usage examples

“How do I initialize PostHog in my Hono app for error tracking?”
The skill provides the necessary steps to initialize the SDK, emphasizing the use of environment variables for your project keys and host URL.
“How can I get notified when a new error occurs in my Hono service?”
The skill guides you to the PostHog error tracking configuration page to set up alerts for Slack, Discord, or webhooks.

Documentation by PostHog

PostHog error tracking for Hono

This skill helps you add PostHog error tracking to Hono applications.

Reference files

  • references/fingerprints.md - Fingerprints - docs

  • references/alerts.md - Send error tracking alerts - docs

  • references/monitoring.md - Monitor and search issues - docs

  • references/assigning-issues.md - Assign issues to teammates - docs

  • references/upload-source-maps.md - Upload source maps - docs

Consult the documentation for API details and framework-specific patterns.

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.
