downloading-batch-export-files

Export PostHog events, persons, or sessions on demand and download the resulting files. Use when the user asks to download/export raw PostHog data, create a one-off file export, fetch a Parquet or JSONLines export, or use the file_download_batch_exports API. Covers starting the export with MCP, polling completion, and downloading via the existing REST redirect endpoint.

Quality

Content

92%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The skill body is lean, highly actionable, and clearly sequenced with validation and error-recovery checkpoints. Its main weakness is the absence of progressive disclosure: a single monolithic file holds reference material that could be split out.

Suggestions

Move the detailed parameter reference (model, data_interval_start/end, file.format/compression/max_size_mb, include/exclude) into a references/PARAMETERS.md and link to it from step 1, keeping only the must-ask clarifications inline.

Extract the poll status-action table into a references/POLLING.md (or a clearly signaled collapsed section) so the main workflow stays scannable.

Pull the REST download endpoint syntax and filename conventions into a references/DOWNLOAD.md to reduce inline reference bulk while keeping the workflow steps lean.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body assumes Claude's competence—no explanation of what PostHog, Parquet, or JSONLines are—and every section earns its place, using compact tables and short steps.

3 / 3

Actionability

It provides concrete MCP tool names, a full example JSON request, exact REST endpoint paths, a status-to-action table, and filename patterns—effectively copy-paste ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A numbered six-step sequence with explicit polling validation, per-status actions, and error-recovery guidance (re-poll on transient Running, report the error field on failures) gives clear checkpoints and feedback loops.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The file is well organized into sections, but at ~120 lines it keeps all reference material inline (full parameter enumeration, status table, endpoint syntax) with no one-level-deep references that could split the bulk.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is specific, trigger-rich, and clearly answers both what the skill does and when to use it, in third person. It is concise without over-claiming.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Export PostHog events, persons, or sessions on demand and download the resulting files" lists multiple concrete actions (exporting three named data models, downloading files) rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

It states both what it does (export and download PostHog data) and when to use it via an explicit "Use when the user asks to..." clause, so what and when are both clearly answered.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Phrases like "download/export raw PostHog data", "one-off file export", "fetch a Parquet or JSONLines export", and "file_download_batch_exports API" cover the natural terms a user would say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The PostHog batch-export niche with its specific API and REST redirect endpoint is clearly distinguishable and unlikely to trigger for unrelated skills.
