scanning-experiments-with-replay-vision

scanning-experiments-with-replay-vision is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 194 tokens per session (5,106 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to creating a Replay Vision scanner for one PostHog experiment’s session recordings. Replay Vision uses an AI model to inspect recordings and compare what users do across experiment versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure, size, preview, and create a disabled scanner that analyzes exposed sessions for each experiment variant.
Why use it?
A scanner can produce misleading comparisons if it watches the wrong users, uses an unclear question, or runs beyond the experiment. This keeps the audience, prompt, budget, and end point tied to the experiment.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

scanning-experiments-with-replay-vision scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Scanning experiments with Replay Vision

The job: "I'm running an experiment. Watch the recordings and tell me what's actually happening in each variant."

A Replay Vision scanner is a standing LLM probe over session recordings (see [[creating-replay-vision-scanners]] for the general mechanics). Scoping one to an experiment fixes the classic ways scanners go wrong, all at once: the exposure filter is derived server-side from the experiment_targeting field instead of hand-authored, the prompt is templated from the hypothesis and variants instead of vague, the population is bounded by enrollment, and the experiment's end date gives the scanner a natural end. This skill covers what is experiment-specific; the generic create/size mechanics stay in the parent skill.

The flow: resolve the experiment → set experiment_targeting so the API derives the exposure filter → pick a template → size it → create disabled → preview the prompt on a few real sessions → let the user enable it.

Step 1: Resolve the experiment

experiment-get returns everything needed: feature_flag_key, the linked feature_flag (its filters.multivariate.variants list is the source of truth for variant keys — parameters.feature_flag_variants can be stale), exposure_criteria, resolved_exposure_event, start_date, end_date, and status. If the user didn't identify the experiment, resolve it via [[finding-experiments]] rather than guessing.

You no longer derive the exposure event to build the scan query — the API does that from experiment_targeting (Step 2). You still need the event name for the per-variant readout join at the end; the readout section covers that derivation where it is used.

Guards before doing anything else:

  • Draft (no start_date): there are no exposures and nothing to scan. Say so and stop.
  • Stopped/complete: a new scanner only sees sessions from creation time onward, and historical backfill is not automatable over MCP (see Limits). A concluded experiment has nothing left to watch — offer the UI backfill path or a handful of vision-scanners-scan-session calls instead.
  • Running or exposure-frozen: proceed. A frozen experiment stops enrolling but already-exposed users keep producing sessions, so scanning stays useful.
  • Already half over: the scanner watches only the remaining run. Say so, so a per-variant readout isn't mistaken for full-run coverage.

scanning-experiments-with-replay-vision is a skill published in the GitHub repository PostHog/posthog-foss (715 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 194 tokens to every session and 5,106 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
