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

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Segment Analysis skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from coalesce-labs/catalyst. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Segment Analysis work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. 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.
- What is the Segment Analysis SkillProof Score?
- 7.6/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- 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.
