What it does
Downloading Batch Export Files is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Export PostHog events, persons, sessions, or the results of a HogQL query on demand and download the resulting files. Use when the user asks to download/export raw PostHog data, export HogQL query results, create a one-off file export, fetch a Parquet or JSONLines export, or use the filedownloadbatchexports API. Covers starting the export with MCP, polling completion, and downloading via the existing REST redirect endpoint.
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 Data & Analytics, covering DataFrames and 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
- The user asks to download/export raw PostHog data
- Export HogQL query results
- Create a one-off file export
- Fetch a Parquet
Example prompts
- “/downloading-batch-export-files”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Choose the export shape
- Start the export
- Poll until completion
- Optionally, cancel a running export
- Download files through REST
- Save, do not print, file contents
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c012c8d. 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 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
Downloading Batch Export Files loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,137 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,137 words (~2,373 tokens).
“Use this skill when a user wants a one-off downloadable export of PostHog data. The export is started and monitored through MCP, but the final file download uses the existing REST endpoint directly.”
