What it does

Debugging Surveys is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Diagnose PostHog Surveys configuration and responses across all five SDKs (web/posthog-js, iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native). Use whenever a Surveys support ticket is pasted ("survey not showing", "fewer responses than expected", "responses disappeared", "responses are incomplete", "only the first question was answered", "the user says they didn't mean to submit", "survey shows on wrong platform"), or when diagnosing why a survey does or doesn't display. Covers the eligibility pipeline, how a response actually…

Its SKILL.md is about 7.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/diagnostic-queries.md` and `references/reading-responses.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps, Customer support and Debugging. It works with PostHog, Flutter, React Native and Android. 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

  • A Surveys support ticket is pasted (survey not showing
  • Fewer responses than expected
  • Responses disappeared
  • Responses are incomplete

Example prompts

  • “survey not showing”
  • “fewer responses than expected”
  • “responses disappeared”
  • “/debugging-surveys”

Workflow steps

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

  1. isSurveyRunning — has start_date, no end_date.
  2. survey type is in-app (Popover / Widget / API).
  3. linked_flag_key enabled (if set).
  4. targeting_flag_key enabled (if set) — customer-defined property targeting.
  5. _internalFlagCheckSatisfied — the auto-generated internal targeting flag.
  6. hasWaitPeriodPassed — seenSurveyWaitPeriodInDays vs localStorage.lastSeenSurveyDate.
  7. getSurveySeen — per-survey seen flag.

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.

    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

Debugging Surveys loads about 7.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 186 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,478 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~186
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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 3,478 words (~7,076 tokens).

“PostHog Surveys is a no-code in-app form builder. A customer creates a survey in the PostHog UI; it must then be evaluated and rendered by whichever SDK their app runs. Most "survey not showing" tickets are eligibility problems, not rendering…”
