What it does

Isolating Product Facade Contracts is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Plan and execute product isolation migrations to a facade plus contract layer in PostHog, following the Visual review architecture. Use when a product still exposes internals (models/logic/views) across boundaries and needs migration toward contracts.py + facade/api.py + presentation separation, with a PR strategy that minimizes review latency and conflicts with parallel work.

Its SKILL.md is about 9.5k 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 Development. 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

  • With a PR strategy that minimizes review latency and conflicts with parallel work

Example prompts

  • “/isolating-product-facade-contracts”

Workflow steps

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

  1. products/architecture.md
  2. products/README.md
  3. docs/internal/monorepo-layout.md
  4. posthog/models/team/README.md (team extension model rule)
  5. docs/published/handbook/engineering/type-system.md (serializer/OpenAPI type flow)
  6. docs/published/handbook/engineering/ai/implementing-mcp-tools.md (schema quality and team isolation expectations)
  7. .agents/security.md (SQL/HogQL security guidelines)

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Isolating Product Facade Contracts loads about 9.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,960 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.5k

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 4,960 words (~9,505 tokens).

“Before you choose a product to isolate, check things already tried. It records which product was the first candidate, and why the field test moved to another one.”
