What it does

Manage Dashboard Widgets is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guides PostHog engineers through dashboard widget platform work — ship a new widgettype (WIDGETREGISTRY, catalog, runwidgets, WidgetCard) or update a shipped type (config, query, layout, RBAC, tile filter bar, list footer, titleHref, throttles). Use for WidgetSpec, widgetspecs/, widget-configs.zod.ts, hogli build:openapi, errortrackinglist, sessionreplaylist, widgetFilters, formatWidgetListCountFooter, widgetquerythrottle, or WidgetCard composition. New types need widget-intake confirmation first. Not for MCP…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `references/architecture.md`, `references/availability-and-gating.md` and `references/checklist-new-widget-type.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authorization and RBAC, Forms and validation and OpenAPI specifications. It works with PostHog, Model Context Protocol, OpenAPI and Zod. 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

  • Widget-configs.zod.ts
  • Hogli build:openapi
  • Errortrackinglist
  • Sessionreplaylist

Example prompts

  • “Use the manage-dashboard-widgets skill to guide PostHog engineers through dashboard widget platform work — ship a new widgettype (WIDGETREGISTRY…”
  • “/manage-dashboard-widgets”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Route first
  2. Ship a new widget_type
  3. Update a shipped type
  4. Platform invariants
  5. Companion skills
  6. Verify

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 bash).

    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

Manage Dashboard Widgets loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~41k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 152 tokens; SKILL.md has 547 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~152
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~41k

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 547 words (~2,306 tokens).

“For PostHog engineers working on dashboard widget tiles in the repo.”
