suppressing-noisy-errors

suppressing-noisy-errors is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 107 tokens per session (3,499 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for stopping selected PostHog errors from being collected when they are high-volume and not actionable, such as browser-extension or bot errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create narrow suppression rules for known browser quirks, third-party scripts, bots, crawlers, and similar unwanted errors.
Why use it?
It reduces noise and ingestion volume while warning against accidentally dropping real bugs that the team should keep seeing.

Token cost

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

suppressing-noisy-errors 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 9d 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.

Suppressing noisy errors

Suppression is destructive in spirit: matching events are dropped at ingestion and never become issues. The wrong rule silently throws away real bugs. This skill exists to make sure suppression is applied only to patterns that are genuinely unactionable, with filters narrow enough to avoid swallowing unrelated errors.

When suppression is the right tool

Suppression is the right tool when an error is:

  • Unactionable from your code — browser extensions, third-party scripts, ad blockers, network beacons firing after navigation. You can't fix it because you didn't write it.
  • Browser engine quirksResizeObserver loop limit exceeded, Script error., Non-Error promise rejection captured with empty payloads.
  • Bot or crawler traffic — errors firing only from headless browsers or known crawler user agents.
  • Sampling already enough — for high-volume but real errors, dampen with sampling_rate instead of full suppression so you keep visibility without paying full cost.

Suppression is not the right tool when:

  • The error is unactionable today but might become actionable after a fix — use issue status archived or resolved instead so it surfaces if it returns.
  • You only want to mute notifications — assign the issue to a user, change its status, or use notification rules.
  • The error is a duplicate of another — merge or create a grouping rule (grouping-noisy-errors).
