This skill helps you add PostHog analytics to Angular applications.
Workflow
Follow these steps in order to complete the integration:

The example project shows the target implementation pattern. Consult the documentation for API details.
Key principles
- Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys. Never hardcode them.
- Minimal changes: Add PostHog code alongside existing integrations. Don't replace or restructure existing code.
- Match the example: Your implementation should follow the example project's patterns as closely as possible.
Framework guidelines
- Use inject() instead of constructor injection. PostHog service should be injected via inject() in components/services that need it.
- Create a dedicated PosthogService as a singleton root service that wraps the PostHog SDK.
- Always use standalone components over NgModules.
- Configure PostHog credentials in src/environments/environment.ts files, as Angular reads environment variables from these configuration files
Identifying users
Identify users during login and signup events. Refer to the example code and documentation for the correct identify pattern for this framework. If both frontend and backend code exist, pass the client-side session and distinct ID using and headers to maintain correlation.
