What it does

Setting Up Warehouse Properties is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Populate person or group properties from a data warehouse table or materialized view, so warehouse columns become properties usable in feature flags, cohorts, and insights. Use when the user wants to "sync my Postgres columns to person properties", "map a warehouse table to people", "replace our daily identify cron", "update person properties from the warehouse", or asks for reverse ETL into PostHog. Covers picking the table and the identifier column, proposing a whole-table column mapping in one call, excluding…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 Data warehousing, Data pipelines and ETL and Scheduled and recurring tasks. It works with PostHog and PostgreSQL. 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 wants to sync my Postgres columns to person properties
  • Map a warehouse table to people
  • Replace our daily identify cron
  • Update person properties from the warehouse

Example prompts

  • “sync my Postgres columns to person properties”
  • “map a warehouse table to people”
  • “replace our daily identify cron”
  • “/setting-up-warehouse-properties”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find the table and its columns
  2. Pick the identifier column, and say why it matters
  3. Propose the mapping before creating anything
  4. Create it
  5. Backfill and 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.

    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

Setting Up Warehouse Properties loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 168 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,096 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~168
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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 1,096 words (~2,318 tokens).

“Warehouse properties write columns from a warehouse table or materialized view onto matching people or groups, on the schedule that table already syncs on. They replace a cron that sends $set identify events.”
