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 variety of software projects. It guides the agent through detecting the project's framework, installing the appropriate SDK, initializing the client, and configuring environment variables. By leveraging a library of framework-specific reference files, the skill ensures that PostHog is implemented according to best practices for each supported platform, including web, mobile, and backend environments.
What it does
- Detects the project's framework and package manager automatically.
- Installs the correct PostHog SDK for the identified platform.
- Initializes the PostHog client using framework-specific patterns.
- Configures environment variables for API keys and host settings.
- Implements user identification logic for login and signup events.
- Verifies the integration and performs necessary 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 migrating or adding analytics to an existing codebase.
- When you need to ensure PostHog is configured consistently across different frameworks.
Advantages
- Supports a broad range of frameworks and languages.
- Ensures secure configuration by enforcing the use of environment variables.
- Maintains consistency with existing codebase patterns.
- Reduces manual effort by automating SDK installation and boilerplate setup.
Usage examples
- “Add PostHog to my new Next.js project.”
- The agent will detect the Next.js framework, install the PostHog SDK, and provide the necessary initialization code in the appropriate file, such as instrumentation-client.ts.
- “Help me set up PostHog in our Android app.”
- The agent will identify the Android environment, guide the setup in the Application class, and configure the PostHog instance with the required API keys.

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: Next.js, React, React Router, Vue, Nuxt, TanStack Start, SvelteKit, Astro, Angular, Django, Flask, FastAPI, Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Android, Swift, 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, requirements.txt, Gemfile, composer.json, go.mod, etc.) to determine the framework and language.
Look for lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, bun.lockb) 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.
Always install packages as a background task. Don't await completion; proceed with other work immediately after starting the installation.
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-IDandX-POSTHOG-SESSION-IDheaders to the server-side code.
STEP 6: Set up environment variables.
Store the PostHog API key and host in environment variables (e.g.
.envor framework-specific env files).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.

Each framework reference contains SDK-specific installation, initialization, and usage patterns. Find the one matching the user's stack.
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.

Prerequisites
Node.js 18+
iOS: Xcode (for iOS Simulator)
Android: Android Studio with emulator
For Android builds: Set environment variables (required):
Add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:
# Java from Android Studio (required for Gradle)
export JAVA_HOME="<path-to-android-studio-jdk>"
# Android SDK location
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"Examples:
export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home"export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"
Then run source ~/.zshrc to apply.
Installation
Install dependencies:
cd basics/expo npm installConfigure PostHog (optional):
cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your PostHog project tokenStart the development server:
npx expo start
Running the App
# Start development server
npx expo start
# Run on iOS Simulator
npx expo run:ios
# Run on Android Emulator
npx expo run:androidPostHog Integration
Configuration
PostHog is configured in src/config/posthog.ts using environment variables from app.json:
import Constants from 'expo-constants'
const apiKey = Constants.expoConfig?.extra?.posthogProjectTokenEvent Tracking
Events are captured with properties:
posthog.capture('burrito_considered', {
total_considerations: count,
username: user.username,
})User Identification
Users are identified on login:
posthog.identify(username, {
$set: { username },
$set_once: { first_login_date: new Date().toISOString() },
})Screen Tracking
Manual screen tracking with Expo Router:
useEffect(() => {
posthog.screen(pathname, {
previous_screen: previousPathname.current,
})
}, [pathname])Error Tracking
Manual exception capture:
posthog.capture('$exception', {
$exception_type: error.name,
$exception_message: error.message,
$exception_stack_trace_raw: error.stack,
})Modern React Features
React Compiler
Automatic memoization is enabled via babel-plugin-react-compiler. No need for manual useMemo, useCallback, or React.memo.
React 19 use API
The useAuth hook uses the new use API for context:
export function useAuth() {
const context = use(AuthContext)
if (context === undefined) {
throw new Error('useAuth must be used within an AuthProvider')
}
return context
}New Architecture
Enabled in app.json for better performance:
{
"expo": {
"newArchEnabled": true
}
}Building for Production
Use EAS Build for production builds:
# Install EAS CLI
npm install -g eas-cli
# Configure EAS
eas build:configure
# Build for iOS
eas build --platform ios
# Build for Android
eas build --platform androidPerformance Debugging
