What it does

Developing Subscriptions is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guides PostHog engineers through subscription product changes. Use when changing subscription resource types, destinations, schedules, delivery workflows, retry or automatic disable behavior, permissions, limits, AI summaries, AI prompt reports, delivery history, subscription APIs, MCP tools, or subscription management UI. Not for configuring an existing subscription through MCP.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with PostHog and Model Context Protocol. 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

  • Changing subscription resource types
  • Delivery workflows
  • Automatic disable behavior
  • AI prompt reports

Example prompts

  • “Use the developing-subscriptions skill to guide PostHog engineers through subscription product changes”
  • “/developing-subscriptions”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Route the request
  2. Define feature intake and acceptance criteria
  3. Define the change contract
  4. Implement across boundaries
  5. Test the complete path
  6. Code map

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

Developing Subscriptions loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 902 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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 902 words (~2,284 tokens).

“Use this skill for a change to the Subscriptions product or its delivery system.”
