workload-analysis
Generate comprehensive workload analysis visualizations for PostHog customer accounts. Use when user requests account analysis, workload breakdown, SDK analysis, spend allocation, or expansion opportunity assessment. Triggers include "analyze [account]", "workload analysis for [account]", "SDK breakdown for [account]", "show me how [account] uses PostHog", or any request to understand customer usage patterns across products and platforms.
Works with
Agent Skills format with YAML frontmatter. Claude Code reads it as-is.

# Workload Analysis Skill
Generate interactive React visualizations showing how customer spend flows from products → workloads → teams, with SDK breakdowns, opportunity identification, and risk assessment.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Collect Account Data
1. **Find account in Vitally:**
```
vitally:find_account_by_name → get externalId (organization_id)
vitally:get_account_full with filterUnnecessaryFields=false
```
2. **Query billing data from PostHog:**
```sql
SELECT date, report
FROM postgres.prod.billing_usagereport
WHERE organization_id = '[externalId]'
ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 3
```
3. **Extract key fields** (see references/data-mapping.md for complete field list):
- Vitally: MRR, forecasted_mrr, diff_dollars, product spend fields
- Billing: SDK event counts, AI events, recordings, exceptions, feature flag requests
### Step 2: Calculate SDK Proportions
**⚠️ CRITICAL: Check ALL SDKs, not just common ones. Flutter/React Native are often the dominant SDK for mobile-first companies.**
From billing data, extract COMPLETE SDK breakdown:
```javascript
const sdkBreakdown = {
// Web
web: report.web_events_count_in_period || 0,
// Backend
node: report.node_events_count_in_period || 0,
python: report.python_events_count_in_period || 0,
go: report.go_events_count_in_period || 0,
ruby: report.ruby_events_count_in_period || 0,
php: report.php_events_count_in_period || 0,
java: report.java_events_count_in_period || 0,
// Mobile Native
ios: report.ios_events_count_in_period || 0,
android: report.android_events_count_in_period || 0,
// Mobile Cross-Platform (DON'T MISS THESE!)
flutter: report.flutter_events_count_in_period || 0,
react_native: report.react_native_events_count_in_period || 0,
};
const total = Object.values(sdkBreakdown).reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
// Verify: SDK total should ≈ event_count_in_period
// If big gap, you're missing an SDK!
```
### Step 3: Define Workloads
Create workloads based on SDK proportions and product usage patterns:
| Pattern | Workload Type | Examples |
|---------|---------------|----------|
| Web >80% | Web Application (primary) | SaaS dashboard |
| Node/Python/Go/Ruby/PHP/Java >80% | Backend API (primary) | API-first product |
| iOS + Android >20% | Native Mobile Apps (primary) | Consumer iOS/Android |
| **Flutter >20%** | **Flutter Mobile App (primary)** | Cross-platform mobile |
| **React Native >20%** | **React Native App (primary)** | Cross-platform mobile |
| AI events >0 | LLM/AI Platform | AI-first company |
| External schemas >0 | Data Platform | Data warehouse usage |
**Mobile Priority:** If Flutter or React Native dominates, that's the primary mobile workload (not iOS/Android native).
### Step 4: Allocate Spend to Workloads
Apply allocation rules from references/spend-allocation.md:
| Product | Allocation Rule |
|---------|-----------------|
| Product Analytics | By SDK event proportion |
| Identified Events | By SDK event proportion |
| Session Replay (Web) | 100% to Web workload |
| Mobile Replay | Split by iOS/Android event ratio |
| Feature Flags | 100% to primary SDK consumer |
| Error Tracking | By exception source (web vs node) |
| LLM Analytics | 100% to LLM Platform workload |
| Data Warehouse | 100% to Data Platform workload |
| Group Analytics | 100% to primary workload |
| Teams/Scale | Platform-wide (separate) |
### Step 5: Identify Opportunities & Risks
Apply frameworks from references/opportunity-framework.md:
**Opportunities (check in order):**
1. Monthly → Annual conversion (if not annual)
2. Product gaps (enrolled but $0 spend)
3. Cross-sell (missing products for their profile)
4. Usage expansion (approaching limits)
**Risks (flag if present):**
1. Declining MRR (forecasted < current)
2. No annual contract (>$3K MRR monthly)
3. Low health score (<6)
4. Single product dependency (>50% of spend)
### Step 6: Generate React Visualization
Use the template from assets/workload-template.jsx. **ALL components below are REQUIRED:**
**MANDATORY Components (include ALL of these):**
1. **SummaryCards** - MRR, health score, contract type, alerts
2. **SdkBreakdownBar** - Visual SDK proportion bar
3. **WorkloadCards** - Cards for each workload with products
4. **OpportunitiesTable** - Ranked opportunities with confidence
5. **RisksTable** - If risks present, severity-ranked
6. **TreeView** - REQUIRED: Hierarchical view showing Account → Workloads → Products → Teams with connecting lines
7. **SankeyView** - REQUIRED: SVG revenue flow diagram showing Products (left bars) flowing to Workloads (right bars) with curved paths
8. **MatrixView** - Products × Workloads grid with spend cells
**View Tabs (MUST include all 5):**
```javascript
const tabs = [
{ id: 'overview', label: '📊 Overview' },
{ id: 'risks', label: '🚨 Risks' }, // Show if risks.length > 0
{ id: 'tree', label: '🌳 Tree View' }, // REQUIRED
{ id: 'sankey', label: '💰 Revenue Flow' }, // REQUIRED
{ id: 'matrix', label: '📋 Matrix' },
];
```
**⚠️ DO NOT SKIP TreeView or SankeyView. These are the most valuable visualizations for understanding account structure.**
### Required Component: TreeView
Copy this component exactly:
```jsx
const TreeView = () => {
const activeWorkloads = workloadTotals.filter(w => w.type !== 'inactive');
return (
<div className="bg-white p-4 rounded-lg shadow border mb-4">

<span className={`text-sm ${product.status === 'opportunity' ? 'text-gray-400' : 'text-gray-700'}`}>
<span className="font-medium">{product.name}</span>
{product.spend > 0 && <span className="text-green-600 ml-2">({formatCurrency(product.spend)}/mo)</span>}
</span>
</div>
))}
</div>
<div className="ml-10 mt-2 flex items-center gap-2">

### Required Component: SankeyView
Copy this component exactly:

}
});

Object.entries(productSpendMap).forEach(([name, amount]) => {
productsWithSpend.push({ name, amount });
});
productsWithSpend.sort((a, b) => b.amount - a.amount);
