Where should I initialize the PostHog client SDK?

The client-side SDK (posthog-js) must be initialized only in browser contexts as it requires APIs like window and localStorage to function correctly.

Does this skill handle both client and server setup?

Yes, it provides patterns for both posthog-js in the browser and posthog-node for server-side or API route event capture.

Why is the defaults date important in the configuration?

Using defaults: '2026-01-30' ensures your project uses the latest recommended behaviors, including automatic SPA page tracking and improved event handling.

Can I use PostHog for feature flags with this skill?

Yes, PostHog combines analytics and feature flags into one platform, and this skill provides the necessary foundation to use both features immediately.

How do I prevent data loss in serverless environments?

The skill guides you to use posthog.flush(), posthog.shutdown(), or captureImmediate() to ensure events are sent before the serverless function terminates.
