allowed-tools is just Task + TodoWrite — the skill has no query logic of its own; the real work needs the PostHog MCP server declared in the plugin's .claude-plugin/.mcp.json (with a POSTHOG_AUTH_HEADER token) which a verbatim skill-folder copy leaves behind, so it's inert until someone wires up PostHog access by hand.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 6/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Segment Analysis does

Routes segment, cohort-retention, and comparison analysis requests (free vs paid, churned users, monthly cohorts) through PostHog data, delegating the actual query work via the Task tool. Triggers on customer segmentation, cohort retention, user-group comparison, churn, or funnel-by-segment questions, but only produces real numbers once the sibling plugin's PostHog MCP server and auth token are configured.

How to install Segment Analysis

git clone https://github.com/coalesce-labs/catalyst
cd catalyst
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills

Commands — how to trigger Segment Analysis

  • /segment-analysis PostHog-backed cohort/segment retention and comparison analysis — needs the plugin's PostHog MCP wired up separately.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Show me 30-day retention by monthly signup cohort for 2024
  • Compare churn between free and paid users using our PostHog data
  • Break down this funnel by user segment using our PostHog cohorts

How do I install Segment Analysis?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Segment Analysis with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
