PostHog integration for Nuxt versions 3.0 to 3.6
— the description by PostHog

AutoGineer summary

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

This skill provides a step-by-step procedure for adding PostHog analytics to Nuxt 3.6 projects. Because Nuxt 3.0-3.6 does not support the standard @posthog/nuxt package, this workflow guides developers through manual implementation using posthog-js and posthog-node. It covers client-side initialization, server-side tracking, user identification, and error tracking to ensure a complete analytics setup.

What it does

  • Guides the manual installation of PostHog packages for Nuxt 3.6
  • Provides a structured 4-step integration workflow
  • Demonstrates client-side plugin configuration for Nuxt
  • Outlines patterns for server-side event tracking in API routes
  • Explains how to identify users and maintain session correlation
  • Includes instructions for implementing error tracking

When to use it

  • When you need to add PostHog analytics to a Nuxt 3.0 through 3.6 application
  • When you require both client-side and server-side event tracking
  • When you need to implement user identification and error tracking in a Nuxt 3 environment
  • When you want to follow established patterns for environment variable management and API integration

Advantages

  • Provides a clear, sequential path for integration
  • Ensures consistent implementation of server-side and client-side tracking
  • Promotes best practices like using environment variables for sensitive keys
  • Offers a reference project to verify implementation patterns

Usage examples

“How do I start integrating PostHog into my Nuxt 3.6 project?”
The agent will initiate the workflow, starting with the setup phase and guiding you through the required file analysis and dependency verification.
“How should I handle user identification in Nuxt 3.6 with PostHog?”
The agent will direct you to the identification patterns, explaining how to use client-side login events and pass session headers to the backend.

Install

  1. Download the skill as a ZIP:

PostHog integration for Nuxt 3.6

This skill helps you add PostHog analytics to Nuxt 3.6 applications.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order to complete the integration:

  1. basic-integration-1.0-begin.md - PostHog Setup - Begin ← Start here

  2. basic-integration-1.1-edit.md - PostHog Setup - Edit

  3. basic-integration-1.2-revise.md - PostHog Setup - Revise

  4. basic-integration-1.3-conclude.md - PostHog Setup - Conclusion

Reference files

  • references/EXAMPLE.md - Nuxt 3.6 example project code

  • references/nuxt-js-3-6.md - Nuxt.js (v3.0 to v3.6) - docs

  • references/identify-users.md - Identify users - docs

  • references/basic-integration-1.0-begin.md - PostHog setup - begin

  • references/basic-integration-1.1-edit.md - PostHog setup - edit

  • references/basic-integration-1.2-revise.md - PostHog setup - revise

  • references/basic-integration-1.3-conclude.md - PostHog setup - conclusion

The example project shows the target implementation pattern. Consult the documentation for API details.

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.

Framework guidelines

No specific framework guidelines.

Identifying users

Identify users during login and signup events. Refer to the example code and documentation for the correct identify pattern for this framework. If both frontend and backend code exist, pass the client-side session and distinct ID using X-POSTHOG-DISTINCT-ID and X-POSTHOG-SESSION-ID headers to maintain correlation.

Error tracking

Add PostHog error tracking to relevant files, particularly around critical user flows and API boundaries.

title: PostHog Setup - Revise description: Review and fix any errors in the PostHog integration implementation

Check the project for errors. Read the package.json file for any type checking or build scripts that may provide input about what to fix. Remember that you can find the source code for any dependency in the node_modules directory. Do not spawn subagents.

Ensure that any components created were actually used.

Once all other tasks are complete, 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. Do not run formatting or linting across the entire project's codebase.

Status

Status to report in this phase:

  • Finding and correcting errors

  • Report details of any errors you fix

  • Linting, building and prettying

Upon completion, continue with: basic-integration-1.3-conclude.md

Requirements and compatibility

Works with: Claude Code, Claude apps, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro, OpenCode, Goose, Amp, Roo Code, JetBrains Junie, Factory Droid, Devin (ex-Windsurf), Mistral Vibe, OpenHands, Letta

“Works with” means the tool reads the open Agent Skills format; a skill written for one tool may use features others lack.
