AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
This skill provides a structured, step-by-step procedure for integrating PostHog product analytics into a wide variety of web, mobile, and backend frameworks. It handles the full lifecycle of the integration, from detecting the project's technology stack and installing the necessary SDKs to implementing event tracking, user identification, and error monitoring. The skill emphasizes non-intrusive changes, ensuring that new analytics code is added alongside existing logic without disrupting the project's architecture.
What it does
- Detects the project framework and language to determine the correct PostHog SDK.
- Installs the required PostHog SDK package automatically.
- Initializes the PostHog instance according to framework-specific best practices.
- Implements targeted event tracking for key user actions and business logic.
- Configures user identification flows for login and signup events.
- Sets up environment variables for secure API key and host management.
When to use it
- After implementing new features that require tracking for user engagement analysis.
- When reviewing pull requests to ensure critical user behaviors are being captured.
- When setting up product analytics for a new project from scratch.
- When migrating or adding analytics to an existing application.
Advantages
- Supports a broad range of modern frontend, backend, and mobile frameworks.
- Ensures consistent event naming and property capture across the codebase.
- Maintains architectural integrity by requiring minimal, targeted code additions.
- Automates the tedious aspects of SDK initialization and environment configuration.
Usage examples
- “Add PostHog analytics to my Next.js project.”
- The agent will detect the Next.js environment, install the PostHog SDK, initialize it in the appropriate root file, and guide you through adding capture calls to key user flows.
- “I need to track user signups in my Django application using PostHog.”
- The agent will identify the Django setup, configure the PostHog Python SDK, and implement identify calls within your authentication logic.

Documentation by PostHog
Add PostHog product analytics events
Use this skill to add product analytics events (capture calls) that track meaningful user actions in new or changed code. Use it after implementing features or reviewing PRs to ensure key user behaviors are captured. If PostHog is not yet installed, this skill also covers initial SDK setup. Supports any framework or language.
Supported frameworks: Next.js, React Router, Nuxt, Vue, TanStack Start, SvelteKit, Astro, Angular, Django, Flask, FastAPI, Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Android, iOS, React Native, Expo, and more.
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, skip to STEP 5.
STEP 2: Research integration. (Skip if PostHog is already set up.) 2.1. Find the reference file below that matches the detected framework — it is the source of truth for SDK initialization, provider setup, and event capture 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. (Skip if PostHog is already set up.)
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. (Skip if PostHog is already set up.)
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).
STEP 5: Plan event tracking.
From the project's file list, select between 10 and 15 files that might have interesting business value for event tracking, especially conversion and churn events.
Also look for files related to login that could be used for identifying users, along with error handling.
Find any existing
posthog.capture()code. Make note of event name formatting. Don't duplicate existing events; supplement them.Track actions only, not pageviews (those can be captured automatically). Exceptions can be made for "viewed"-type events at the top of a conversion funnel.
Server-side events are REQUIRED if the project includes any instrumentable server-side code (API routes, server actions, webhook handlers, payment/checkout completion, authentication endpoints).
STEP 6: Implement event capture.
For each planned event, add
posthog.capture()calls with useful properties.If a file already has existing integration code for other tools or services, don't overwrite or remove that code. Place PostHog code below it.
Do not alter the fundamental architecture of existing files. Make additions minimal and targeted.
You must read a file immediately before attempting to write it.
STEP 7: Identify users.
Add PostHog
identify()calls on the client side during login and signup events. Use the contents of login and signup forms to identify users on submit.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. On the server side, make sure events have a matching distinct ID.
STEP 8: Add error tracking.
Add PostHog exception capture error tracking to relevant files, particularly around critical user flows and API boundaries.
STEP 9: Set up environment variables.
If an env-file-tools MCP server is connected, use check_env_keys to see which keys already exist, then use set_env_values to create or update the PostHog API key and host.
Reference these environment variables in code instead of hardcoding them.
STEP 10: 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 docs: Follow the framework reference's initialization and capture patterns exactly.

PostHog service (services/posthog.service.ts)
A wrapper service that handles SSR safety and provides access to the PostHog instance:
import { Injectable, inject, PLATFORM_ID } from '@angular/core';
import { isPlatformBrowser } from '@angular/common';
import posthog from 'posthog-js';
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class PostHogService {
private readonly platformId = inject(PLATFORM_ID);
get posthog(): typeof posthog {
if (isPlatformBrowser(this.platformId)) {
return posthog;
}
// Return a no-op proxy for SSR safety
return new Proxy({} as typeof posthog, {
get: () => () => undefined,
});
}
init(apiKey: string, options: Partial<PostHogConfig>): void {
if (isPlatformBrowser(this.platformId)) {
posthog.init(apiKey, options);
}
}
}PostHog initialization (app.component.ts)
PostHog is initialized in the root component's ngOnInit:
import { PostHogService } from './services/posthog.service';
import { environment } from '../environments/environment';
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
private readonly posthogService = inject(PostHogService);
ngOnInit(): void {
this.posthogService.init(environment.posthogKey, {
api_host: '/ingest',
ui_host: environment.posthogHost || 'https://us.posthog.com',
capture_exceptions: true,
});
}
}User identification (services/auth.service.ts)
import { PostHogService } from './posthog.service';
const posthogService = inject(PostHogService);
posthogService.posthog.identify(username, {
username,
isNewUser,
});Event tracking (pages/burrito/burrito.component.ts)
import { PostHogService } from '../../services/posthog.service';
const posthogService = inject(PostHogService);
posthogService.posthog.capture('burrito_considered', {
total_considerations: count,
username: username,
});Error tracking (pages/profile/profile.component.ts)
posthogService.posthog.capture('$exception', {
$exception_message: error.message,
$exception_type: error.name,
$exception_stack_trace_raw: error.stack,
});Angular-specific details
This example uses Angular 21 with modern features:
Standalone components: No NgModules, all components use
standalone: trueSignals: Reactive state management with Angular signals
SSR support: Uses
isPlatformBrowser()checks for SSR safetyDependency injection: PostHog wrapped in an injectable service
Proxy configuration: Uses
proxy.conf.jsonfor PostHog API callsEnvironment files: Generated from
.envat build time via prebuild script
Environment variable handling
Angular CLI doesn't natively support .env files. This project uses a prebuild script:
scripts/generate-env.jsreads.envand generatesenvironment.generated.tsThe script runs automatically before
pnpm startandpnpm buildEnvironment files import from the generated file
