exploring-autocapture-events

Guides exploration of $autocapture events captured by posthog-js to understand user interactions.

What this skill does for you

Guides exploration of $autocapture events captured by posthog-js to understand user interactions, find CSS selectors (especially data-attr attributes), evaluate selector uniqueness, query matching clicks ad-hoc, and create actions. Use when the user asks about autocapture data, wants to find what users are clicking, needs to build actions from click events, asks about elements_chain, wants to build a trend or funnel filtered by clicks or other autocapture interactions, asks which properties autocapture sends, or asks how to filter $autocapture events. Only applies to projects using posthog-js autocapture.
