What it does

Analyzing Experiment Session Replays is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Analyze session replay patterns across experiment variants to understand user behavior differences. Use when the user wants to see how users interact with different experiment variants, identify usability issues, compare behavior patterns between control and test groups, or get qualitative insights to complement quantitative experiment results. Also covers pairing the observed behavior with a linked survey when the user wants qualitative feedback beyond what recordings show.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UX design. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to see how users interact with different experiment variants
  • Identify usability issues
  • Compare behavior patterns between control and test groups
  • Get qualitative insights to complement quantitative experiment results

Example prompts

  • “/analyzing-experiment-session-replays”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get experiment details and feature flag variants
  2. Build session recording filters for each variant
  3. Retrieve recordings for each variant
  4. Compare and analyze
  5. Present findings
  6. Observing shows behavior; asking adds what users think of it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10f9ad7. 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 (its code samples are sql and json).

    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

Analyzing Experiment Session Replays loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 973 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 973 words (~2,440 tokens).

“This skill guides you through analyzing session recordings for experiment variants to understand behavioral differences between control and test groups.”
