## What it does

The skill walks the projects your OAuth grant covers and pulls each one's error-tracking issues for the last 7 days. It then builds a single impact-ranked list, weighing occurrence counts against users affected, and marks which issues are new this week and which are spiking. What lands in your inbox is one notification: per-project totals, the top issues, and a clickable link to a committed report listing every issue.

It runs on the PostHog MCP server (`mcp.posthog.com/mcp`), wired into `.mcp.json` under the name `posthog`. Tools show up as `mcp__posthog__*`, and the skill discovers them at runtime rather than assuming a fixed set. Scope is adjustable through `${var}`: `14d` or `30d` changes the window, and a comma list of project name substrings narrows the projects, as in `web, api, 14d`.

Because the skill runs in `read-only` mode, `Write`, `Edit` and `python` are off the table. Output files get written with a `cat` heredoc or `node`, and the scratch file belongs in `/tmp/`. Reach for `python` to assemble the digest and the run dies partway, so nothing ships. There is also a ceiling of 60 MCP calls per run; with more projects than that, the digest names the ones it did not reach.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill posthog-errors -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill posthog-errors -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill posthog-errors -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aeonfun/aeon posthog-errors
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill posthog-errors -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon --path skills/posthog-errors
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill posthog-errors -a opencode
```

### 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/aeonfun/aeon/tree/HEAD/skills/posthog-errors/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- collect errors from every PostHog project into one list
- tell new issues apart from ones still dragging on
- see which failures hit the most users
- get a link to the full report behind each issue
- limit the overview to chosen projects or a 14-day window

## Example prompts
- Build the weekly error digest across all my PostHog projects
- Give me an error overview for the `web` and `api` projects over 14 days
- Send the PostHog error summary with a link to the full report

Give the operator a single, scannable overview of the errors across **every** one of
their PostHog projects for the past week. The heavy lifting is the **PostHog MCP
server** (`mcp.posthog.com/mcp`): it enumerates the projects and returns the
error-tracking issues, so you reason over structured facts (occurrence counts, users
affected, first/last-seen timestamps) instead of guessing. Your job is to fan out
across projects, rank by impact, separate new from ongoing, and write the digest.

## Capability notes (read before running or editing)

`mode: read-only` is load-bearing and shapes **how** this skill writes. The read-only
toolset (`scripts/skill_mode.sh`) drops `Write`, `Edit`, and `python`; it keeps `Read`,
the MCP tools, `curl`, `jq`, and `Bash` for `node`/`cat`/`echo`/`mkdir`/`date`/`jq`. So
every file this skill produces — the `./notify` body and the state snapshot — is
written with a **`cat` heredoc (or `node`) redirection**, never the Write tool and
never `python`. Reaching for `python` to build or send the digest gets denied mid-run
and the notification silently never ships. `./notify` itself works in read-only, but
its multi-line body must be a file written the way above — and that scratch file goes
under **`/tmp/`**, never `memory/`/`output/` (those are committed; only the Step 4
snapshot and Step 4b report are meant to persist).

## Detection & auth

The server is wired in `.mcp.json` as `posthog` by the dashboard MCP panel's one-click
**Connect** (OAuth 2.1 + PKCE against `oauth.posthog.com`; tokens stored as
