Event Tracking
Know what people actually do in your app.
What it adds
A consistent event tracking layer, wired to the actions that matter.
What your agent is told to do

What your agent is told to do
4-
1
Define a naming convention before you write a single event. 'object_action' (user_signed_up, project_created) stays sane at scale; ad-hoc names do not.
-
2
Track the handful of events that map to your funnel. Tracking everything produces noise nobody reads.
-
3
Wrap the analytics vendor behind one internal function so you can swap or add providers without touching call sites.
-
4
Track server-side where correctness matters — ad blockers eat client-side events.

Edge cases it handles
5- Never send PII (emails, names, raw addresses) into analytics payloads without an explicit decision — it's a compliance problem.
- Respect Do Not Track and any consent the user gave or withheld.
- A failing analytics call must never break the user's action.
- Don't double-count: a client event plus a server event for the same action inflates everything.
- Bots and internal staff traffic should be excluded.

8- Events follow one documented naming convention.
- The vendor sits behind a single internal wrapper.
- Revenue- and funnel-critical events are tracked server-side.
- No PII is sent without an explicit decision.
- Consent and Do Not Track are respected.
- A failed analytics call never breaks the app.
- The feature matches the existing design system.
- No existing functionality is broken.

UI Event Naming Schema
UI Event Naming Schema
Give every tracked interaction a name that still means the same thing in a year.
What it does
A documented vocabulary and structure for event names and properties, applied across the app's existing tracking.
How it works
- 1 Audit the events the app already sends and list them. The duplicates, the near-synonyms, and the ones nobody can explain are the reason the schema is needed, and they are also the migration list.
- 2 Fix a structure of object, action, and context: what was acted on, what happened to it, and where. Fix a closed set of actions — viewed, clicked, opened, submitted, selected, failed — and require every new event to reuse one of them.
- 3 Keep variable detail in properties, never in the name. A record identifier, a plan name, or a workspace slug baked into an event name produces thousands of unaggregatable one-off events.

Data Table Cell Primitives
Data Table Cell Primitives
Render every kind of table cell the same way, wherever the table happens to be.
What it does
A shared set of cell renderers for numbers, dates, people, statuses, links, and row actions, used by every table in the app.
How it works
- 1 Catalogue the cell types the app's tables already render and reduce them to a small set: number and currency, date and relative time, person or avatar, status or badge, link or identifier, and an actions cell.
- 2 Separate each cell's underlying value from its presentation, so sorting, filtering, grouping, and export operate on the raw value while the user sees the formatted one.
- 3 Align and format numerically consistent cells the same way everywhere — figures right-aligned with tabular figures and a fixed precision per column, dates in the user's locale and time zone, currency with its code where more than one is possible.

Segment Event Forwarding
Segment Event Forwarding
Send one clean stream of product events to Segment and let it fan out downstream.
What it does
A documented event schema and a single forwarding path emitting track, identify, group, and page calls with consistent identity.
How it works
- 1 Write the event schema before writing any code: the exact set of event names, the properties each carries with their types, and the traits attached to a user and to an account. Every downstream tool inherits this schema, so a name chosen carelessly is expensive to change later.
- 2 Establish one identity model and apply it everywhere. Use a stable internal user identifier that never changes, associate the anonymous identifier from the first visit with it at signup, and attach the account or workspace so downstream tools can roll events up by customer.
- 3 Route every event through one internal emitter rather than calling the provider from feature code. That emitter validates the event against the schema, drops or flags anything unrecognised, and is the single place where identity and default properties are attached.

It inspects, then implements
Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.
Works with your stack
These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
Need it tighter than that? Customize the feature and tell it exactly what you're running.
