segment-cdp — Claude Code skill for Segment analytics
Plan Segment event tracking across browser and server code, manage user identity, and define event schemas. Useful when building or reviewing a customer data pipeline.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill web-development/segment-cdpWhat segment-cdp does
This skill covers Segment Customer Data Platform patterns for browser-based and server-side analytics. Its Analytics.js guidance includes track, identify, page, and group, along with the relationship between an anonymous ID and a user profile after identification. These patterns help keep client-side tracking aligned with user identity.
For backend events, the skill covers @segment/analytics-node and its non-blocking batching behavior. The package is relevant to server-generated events and webhooks, including cases involving sensitive data. Node.js and @segment/analytics-node are needed for this server-side approach.
The tracking-plan material focuses on Object + Action event names, required properties, data types, and validation through Protocols. It also flags design mistakes such as changing event names dynamically, treating properties as events, and calling track before identify. Use these patterns when defining a consistent event contract for an application.
What it helps with
- Set up browser event collection with Analytics.js
- Send backend events and webhook data to Segment
- Define event schemas with required properties and types
- Associate anonymous activity with an identified user
- Spot inconsistent event names and incorrect call order
Example prompts for the agent
- Design browser tracking with Analytics.js using
track,identify,page, andgroup. - Prepare server-side event delivery with
@segment/analytics-nodefor backend events and webhooks. - Draft a Segment tracking plan with Object + Action names, required properties, and Protocols validation.
