Help users add PostHog analytics, event tracking, and feature flags to their code.

When to Use

User asks to "add PostHog" or "add analytics"
User wants to track events or user actions
User needs to implement feature flags
User asks about instrumenting their code

Workflow

Identify the framework (React, Next.js, Python, Node.js, etc.)
Check for existing PostHog setup
Add appropriate instrumentation

Code Patterns

JavaScript/TypeScript

// Event tracking
posthog.capture('button_clicked', { button_name: 'signup' })
 
// Feature flags
if (posthog.isFeatureEnabled('new-feature')) {
  // Show new feature
}
 
// User identification
posthog.identify

Python

Best Practices

Use consistent event naming (snake_case recommended)
Include relevant properties with events
Identify users early in their session
Use feature flags for gradual rollouts
