## What it 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.
