What it does

Finding Replay For Issue is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Finds the most informative session recording linked to an error tracking issue. Use when a user has an error tracking issue ID and wants to watch a replay showing what the user was doing when the error occurred. Ranks linked sessions by recency, activity score, and journey completeness, then summarizes the pre-error context. Replaces blind session picking from potentially hundreds of linked recordings.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with PostHog. 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 user has an error tracking issue ID and wants to watch a replay showing what the user was doing when the error occurred

Example prompts

  • “Use the finding-replay-for-issue skill to find the most informative session recording linked to an error tracking issue”
  • “/finding-replay-for-issue”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get the issue details
  2. Find sessions with this error
  3. Rank the candidates
  4. Present the finding

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 812e5c6. 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 and sql).

    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

Finding Replay For Issue loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 670 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 670 words (~1,686 tokens).

“When a user says "show me a replay for this error" or "find a recording for issue X", the goal isn't just any linked session — it's the one that best shows what led to the error. Popular issues can…”
