AutoGineer summary

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

This skill provides a structured, multi-step procedure for integrating the PostHog SDK into a wide range of web, mobile, and backend frameworks. It handles the detection of the project environment, installation of the appropriate SDK, initialization, user identification, and secure configuration of environment variables. The skill emphasizes following framework-specific patterns and maintaining an analytics contract, ensuring that PostHog is implemented consistently without disrupting existing application logic.

What it does

  • Detects the project's framework, language, and package manager.
  • Installs the correct PostHog SDK for the identified platform.
  • Configures PostHog initialization and provider setup based on framework-specific references.
  • Implements user identification logic for login and signup events.
  • Manages environment variables for project tokens and host URLs securely.
  • Verifies the integration and performs minimal cleanup.

When to use it

  • When setting up PostHog in a project for the first time.
  • When reviewing pull requests that require PostHog initialization.
  • When adding analytics to a new application across supported frameworks.
  • When migrating or updating PostHog configurations in an existing codebase.

Advantages

  • Ensures consistent implementation across diverse technology stacks.
  • Prevents hardcoding of sensitive project tokens and host URLs.
  • Follows established framework-specific best practices and patterns.
  • Minimizes the risk of breaking application boot or build processes.
  • Automates the repetitive aspects of SDK setup and environment configuration.

Usage examples

“Set up PostHog in my Next.js project.”
The agent will detect the Next.js environment, install the PostHog SDK, configure the necessary provider, and set up environment variables in .env.local.
“Integrate PostHog into this Android app.”
The agent will identify the Android/Kotlin structure, initialize PostHog in the Application class, and guide the setup of local.properties for configuration.

Documentation by PostHog

Add PostHog SDK integration

Use this skill to add the PostHog SDK to an application. Use it when setting up PostHog for the first time, or reviewing PRs that need PostHog initialization. Covers SDK installation, provider setup, and basic configuration. Supports any framework or language.

Supported frameworks and languages: Next.js, React, React Router, Vue, Nuxt, TanStack Start, SvelteKit, Astro, Angular, Django, Flask, FastAPI, Laravel, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Go, Elixir, Android, iOS, Swift, Flutter, React Native, Expo, Node.js, and vanilla JavaScript.

Instructions

Follow these steps IN ORDER:

STEP 1: Analyze the codebase and detect the platform.

Look for dependency files (package.json, pubspec.yaml, Podfile, Package.swift, requirements.txt, Gemfile, composer.json, go.mod, mix.exs, etc.) to determine the framework and language.

Look for lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, bun.lockb, go.sum, pubspec.lock, Podfile.lock, Package.resolved, mix.lock) to determine the package manager.

  • Check for existing PostHog setup. If PostHog is already installed and initialized, do not modify its code. Inform the user and skip to verification.

STEP 2: Research integration. 2.1. Find the reference file below that matches the detected framework — it is the source of truth for SDK initialization, provider setup, and configuration patterns. Read it now. 2.2. If no reference matches, fall back to your general knowledge and web search. Use posthog.com/docs as the primary search source.

STEP 3: Install the PostHog SDK.

  • Add the PostHog SDK package for the detected platform. Do not manually edit package.json — use the package manager's install command.

STEP 4: Initialize PostHog.

  • Follow the framework reference for where and how to initialize. This varies significantly by framework (e.g., instrumentation-client.ts for Next.js 15.3+, AppConfig.ready() for Django, create_app() for Flask).

  • Set up the PostHog provider/wrapper component if the framework requires one.

STEP 5: Identify users.

  • Add PostHog identify() calls on the client side during login and signup events.

  • If both frontend and backend exist, pass the client-side session and distinct ID using X-POSTHOG-DISTINCT-ID and X-POSTHOG-SESSION-ID headers to the server-side code.

STEP 6: Set up environment variables.

  • Check if the project already has PostHog environment variables configured (e.g. in .env, .env.local, or framework-specific env files). If valid values already exist, skip this step.

  • If the PostHog project token is missing, use the PostHog MCP server's projects-get tool to retrieve the project's api_token. If multiple projects are returned, ask the user which project to use. If the MCP server is not connected or not authenticated, ask the user for their PostHog project token instead.

  • For the PostHog host URL: check the projects-get MCP response for a region field — US maps to https://us.i.posthog.com, EU maps to https://eu.i.posthog.com. If the region is not available from the MCP response or from existing project configuration, ask the user: "Are you on PostHog US Cloud or EU Cloud?" Do not assume US Cloud.

  • Write these values to the appropriate env file (e.g. .env.local for Next.js, .env for others) using the framework's naming convention.

  • Reference these environment variables in code instead of hardcoding them.

STEP 7: Verify and clean up.

  • Check the project for errors. Look for type checking or build scripts in package.json.

  • Ensure any components created were actually used.

  • Run any linter or prettier-like scripts found in the package.json, but ONLY on the files you have edited or created during this session. Never run formatting or linting across the entire project's codebase.

Key principles

  • Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys. Never hardcode them.

  • Minimal changes: Add PostHog code alongside existing integrations. Don't replace or restructure existing code.

  • Match the example: Your implementation should follow the example project's patterns as closely as possible.

  • Analytics contract: Treat event names, property names, and feature flag keys as part of an analytics contract. Reuse existing names and patterns found in the project. When introducing new ones, make them clear, descriptive, and consistent with existing conventions.

PostHog Astro Static Example

This is an Astro static site (SSG) example demonstrating PostHog integration with product analytics, session replay, and error tracking.

It uses the PostHog web snippet directly and shows how to:

  • Initialize PostHog in a static Astro site using a reusable component

  • Identify users after login

  • Track custom events from pages

  • Capture errors via posthog.captureException()

  • Reset PostHog state on logout

Features

  • Product analytics: Track login and burrito consideration events

  • Session replay: Enabled via PostHog snippet configuration

  • Error tracking: Manual error capture sent to PostHog

  • Simple auth flow: Demo login using localStorage

Getting started

1. Install dependencies
npm install
# or
pnpm install
2. Configure environment variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

PUBLIC_POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN=your_posthog_project_token
PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST=https://us.i.posthog.com

Get your PostHog project token from your project settings in PostHog.

3. Run the development server
npm run dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:4321 in your browser.

  styles/

Key integration points

PostHog initialization (src/components/posthog.astro)

The PostHog snippet is included as an inline script to prevent Astro from processing it:

<script is:inline>
  !function(t,e){...}(document,window.posthog||[]);
  posthog.init('<ph_project_token>', {
    api_host: 'https://us.i.posthog.com',
    defaults: '2026-01-30'
  })
</script>

The is:inline directive is required to prevent TypeScript errors about window.posthog.

User identification (src/pages/index.astro)

After a successful "login", the app identifies the user and captures a login event:

window.posthog?.identify(username);
window.posthog?.capture("user_logged_in");

Identification happens only on login, all further requests will automatically use the same distinct ID.

Event tracking (src/pages/burrito.astro)

The burrito page tracks a custom event when a user "considers" the burrito:

window.posthog?.capture("burrito_considered", {
  total_considerations: newCount,
  username: currentUser,
});

This shows how to attach useful properties to events (e.g. counts, usernames).

Error tracking (src/pages/profile.astro)

The profile page includes a button to trigger a test error:

try {
  throw new Error("Test error for PostHog error tracking");
} catch (err) {
  window.posthog?.captureException(err);
}
Logout and session reset (src/components/Header.astro)

On logout, both the local auth state and PostHog state are cleared:

window.posthog?.capture("user_logged_out");
localStorage.removeItem("currentUser");
window.posthog?.reset();

posthog.reset() clears the current distinct ID and session so the next login starts a fresh identity.
