What it does
Formatting Insight Axes is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Pick the right y-axis unit when creating or updating an insight via posthog:insight-create or posthog:insight-update — both TrendsQuery (trendsFilter.aggregationAxisFormat) and SQL insights (DataVisualizationNode, chartSettings.yAxis[].settings.formatting). Use when the agent is about to add a formula purely to convert units (e.g. dividing seconds by 60 to display minutes), when a mathproperty or SQL column is a duration, currency, ratio, or large count, or whenever the user mentions "format the y-axis"…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Databases, covering Accessibility and SQL. It works with PostHog and SQL. 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 agent is about to add a formula purely to convert units (e.g
- Tasks that involve Accessibility
- Tasks that involve SQL
Example prompts
- “format the y-axis”
- “duration”
- “seconds”
- “/formatting-insight-axes”
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
Formatting Insight Axes loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 180 tokens; SKILL.md has 750 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 750 words (~2,095 tokens).
“PostHog renders insights with a built-in axis formatter. Use it instead of contorting the query or a literal prefix/postfix to fake units.”
