What it does

Telemetry Analytics is an agent skill from OpenHands/OpenHands. This skill should be used when the user asks to "add tracking", "add a PostHog event", "change telemetry consent", "instrument onboarding", "debug analytics", or changes telemetry.ts, use-tracking.ts, cloud funnel analytics, or analytics environment variables.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/guide.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability and Secrets management. It works with PostHog and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: 🙌 OpenHands: AI-Driven Development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to add tracking
  • Add a PostHog event
  • Change telemetry consent
  • Instrument onboarding

Example prompts

  • “add tracking”
  • “add a PostHog event”
  • “change telemetry consent”
  • “/telemetry-analytics”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read references/guide.md before changing telemetry, analytics consent, PostHog configuration, Cloud funnel observability, or onboarding…
  2. Identify the single canonical owner and capture point for the behavior.
  3. Extend typed event functions and controlled property unions rather than calling the SDK directly.
  4. Verify consent, identity, backend transitions, and duplicate-capture behavior relevant to the change.
  5. Keep secrets, conversation content, raw hosts, and unbounded user data out of telemetry.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ea83ba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Telemetry Analytics loads about 305 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 109 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~305
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Telemetry and Analytics

Preserve Canvas's single-client telemetry architecture, consent ownership, identity lifecycle, and canonical event contracts.

Workflow

  1. Read references/guide.md before changing telemetry, analytics consent, PostHog configuration, Cloud funnel observability, or onboarding event capture.
  2. Identify the single canonical owner and capture point for the behavior.
  3. Extend typed event functions and controlled property unions rather than calling the SDK directly.
  4. Verify consent, identity, backend transitions, and duplicate-capture behavior relevant to the change.
  5. Keep secrets, conversation content, raw hosts, and unbounded user data out of telemetry.

Reference

  • references/guide.md — Telemetry architecture, consent and identity invariants, event creation workflow, Cloud funnel headers, onboarding event dictionary, and analytics environment variables.
