## What it does

The skill executes `setup.sh` to confirm Python 3.10+ and install analytics dependencies. It loads `mixpanel_headless`, `pandas`, `numpy`, `matplotlib`, `seaborn`, `scipy`, `networkx>=3.0`, `anytree>=2.8.0`, plus `pyarrow>=17.0` on Python 3.11+. The installer attempts to use `uv` first, falling back to `pip`, then verifies package imports.

It checks authentication status using `auth_manager.py`. The script inspects the session to report whether credentials are ready, missing an account, or missing an assigned project ID. Users can authenticate through `mp login`, manual CLI account registration, or direct environment variables such as `MP_USERNAME`, `MP_SECRET`, `MP_PROJECT_ID`, and `MP_REGION`. Headless agents can rely on `MP_OAUTH_TOKEN`.

Browser-based PKCE login fails inside remote sandboxes due to missing browser and terminal access. In that scenario, export credentials on the host machine using `mp account export-bridge --to ~/.claude/mixpanel/auth.json` before starting the agent session.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill setup -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/setup/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill setup -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/setup/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/setup/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/setup/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins setup
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/setup/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/mixpanel-headless/skills/setup
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/setup/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/mixpanel-headless/skills/setup/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- set up the Python workspace for Mixpanel data analysis
- install analytical packages with uv or pip
- verify active Mixpanel accounts and pinned projects
- transfer credentials to sandboxed environments via a bridge file

## Example prompts
- Set up the environment for Mixpanel analytics and install dependencies
- Check current Mixpanel credentials and project status
- Configure Mixpanel access using service account environment variables

# mixpanel-headless — Setup

Install dependencies and verify credentials for CodeMode analytics.

## Run Setup

Before running bundled scripts, set `SKILL_DIR` to the absolute path of this
`skills/setup` directory.

```bash
bash $SKILL_DIR/scripts/setup.sh
```

This will:
1. Verify Python 3.10+ is available
2. Install `mixpanel_headless`, `pandas`, `numpy`, `matplotlib`, `seaborn`, `networkx>=3.0`, `anytree>=2.8.0`, `scipy`, and `pyarrow>=17.0` on Python 3.11+ (tries uv, pip in order)
3. Verify all packages import successfully (including pyarrow on 3.11+, networkx, anytree, and scipy)
4. Check for configured Mixpanel credentials (single schema — Account → Project → Workspace)

## Check Credentials

After installation, check the active session:

```bash
python3 $SKILL_DIR/../mixpanelyst/scripts/auth_manager.py session
```

Parse the JSON `state` field:
- **`ok`** — credentials configured. Show `account.name` → project `project.id` and proceed to verification.
- **`needs_account`** — no account configured. Read `next` for onboarding suggestions and follow "If Credentials Are Missing" below.
- **`needs_project`** — account configured but no project pinned. Suggest `mp project list` then `mp project use <id>`.
- **`error`** — show `error.message`. If `error.actionable` is true, the message names a concrete next command.

## If Credentials Are Missing

If no credentials are configured, guide the user to one of these methods:

### Recommended: `mp login`

The frictionless one-shot path. Tell the user to run:

```bash
mp login
```

`mp login` runs the right auth flow for the environment, derives the
account name from `/me`, and pins a default project. For laptops with a
usable browser, this opens the PKCE flow; for environments with
`MP_USERNAME` + `MP_SECRET` set, it skips the browser and uses the
service-account path; for `MP_OAUTH_TOKEN` set, it uses the static
bearer.

Region behavior:
- `service_account` and `oauth_token` paths probe `us → eu → in` when
  `--region` is omitted.
- `oauth_browser` (the bare-`mp login` default) defaults to `us`. EU and
  India browser users must pass `--region eu` or `--region in`.

Useful flags: `--name NAME`, `--region us|eu|in`, `--project ID`,
`--service-account`, `--token-env VAR`, `--no-browser`, `--secret-stdin`.

### Alternative: Guided Setup (explicit account add)

Use the `mixpanel-auth` skill's account-add workflow for a
step-by-step walkthrough. The workflow never prompts for secrets in
conversation — it instructs the user to run `mp account add ...`
themselves so the secret is read with hidden input. Use this path when
the user wants explicit control over the account name, region, and type
at registration time.
