instrument-logs

instrument-logs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,415 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A logging-integration skill that adds PostHog log capture, using OpenTelemetry when needed to export application logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Detecting the project's platform and logging setup, configuring log export when absent, and adding structured log events to changed code.
Why use it?
It makes important application events available for review after features are changed or pull requests are assessed.

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

instrument-logs 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 4d 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.

Add PostHog log capture

Use this skill to add PostHog log capture for new or changed code. Use it after implementing features or reviewing PRs to ensure meaningful log events are captured with structured properties. If PostHog log export is not yet configured, this skill also covers initial OTLP exporter setup. Supports any platform or language.

Supported platforms: Next.js, Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Datadog, Android, React Native, iOS, and any language via OpenTelemetry.

Instructions

Follow these steps IN ORDER:

STEP 1: Analyze the codebase and detect the platform.

  • Detect the language, framework, and existing logging setup.
  • Look for dependency files and project files (package.json, Podfile, Package.swift, requirements.txt, go.mod, pom.xml, etc.).
  • Look for log libraries (winston, pino, logging module, logrus, log4j, serilog, os_log, Logger, etc.).
  • Look for lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, bun.lockb, go.sum, Podfile.lock, Package.resolved, etc.) to determine the package manager.
  • Check for existing PostHog log export setup. If the OTLP exporter is already configured, skip to STEP 5 to add log capture for new code.

STEP 2: Research log capture. (Skip if PostHog log export is already configured.) 2.1. Find the reference file below that matches the detected platform — it is the source of truth for OTLP exporter configuration and integration with existing logging. Read it now. 2.2. If no reference matches, use the "Other Languages" reference as a fallback — it covers the generic OpenTelemetry approach.

STEP 3: Install dependencies. (Skip if PostHog log export is already configured.)

  • Install the OpenTelemetry SDK and OTLP exporter packages for the detected platform.
  • Do not manually edit dependency files — use the package manager's install command.

STEP 4: Configure the OTLP exporter. (Skip if PostHog log export is already configured.)

  • PostHog logs use the OpenTelemetry protocol. Set up an OTLP exporter pointed at PostHog's ingest endpoint.
  • For SDK-native log support such as Android, React Native, and iOS, follow the platform reference instead of adding a separate OTLP exporter.
  • Follow the platform-specific reference for the exact configuration.

instrument-logs is a skill published in the GitHub repository PostHog/skills (60 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,415 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
