MixPanel Analytics Skill

When to Use This Skill

Use this Skill in the Django4Lyfe backend when working with MixPanel analytics tracking in the optimo_analytics module:

• /mixpanel-analytics:implement – to implement new MixPanel tracking events or update existing ones following established patterns (7-step checklist).
• /mixpanel-analytics:review – to review MixPanel implementations for correctness, PII protection, and adherence to Django4Lyfe standards.

Example Prompts

Implement Mode

• "Use /mixpanel-analytics:implement to add a new event for tracking when a user completes their profile setup."
• "Run /mixpanel-analytics:implement svc.surveys.reminder_sent to add tracking for survey reminder notifications."
• "Implement MixPanel tracking for the new HRIS CSV validation feature using /mixpanel-analytics:implement."

Review Mode

• "Run /mixpanel-analytics:review staged to check my staged MixPanel changes for PII violations and pattern compliance."
• "Use /mixpanel-analytics:review branch to audit all analytics changes on this feature branch."
• "Review the entire optimo_analytics module with /mixpanel-analytics:review all."

Modes

This Skill behaves differently based on how it is invoked:

• implement mode – invoked via /mixpanel-analytics:implement:
  • Guides implementation of new MixPanel events through 7 steps.
  • Creates constants, schemas, registry entries, service methods, and tests.
  • Enforces PII protection and code patterns.
• review mode – invoked via /mixpanel-analytics:review:
  • Audits existing implementations for compliance.
  • Checks PII protection, schema design, service patterns, and test coverage.
  • Generates structured review reports with severity tags.

Environment & Context Gathering

When this Skill runs, gather context first:

# Git context
git branch --show-current
git status --porcelain
git diff --cached --name-only | grep -E "optimo_analytics|mixpanel"

# Analytics module stats
grep -c "^    [A-Z_]* = " optimo_analytics/constants.py 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
grep -c "^class Mxp" optimo_analytics/schemas.py 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
grep -c "MixPanelEvent\." optimo_analytics/registry.py 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
ls -1 optimo_analytics/service/*.py 2>/dev/null | xargs -I{} basename {} .py

Read key reference files:

• optimo_analytics/AGENTS.md – module-level rules and PII guidelines
• optimo_analytics/schemas.py – existing schema patterns
• optimo_analytics/service/AGENTS.md – service layer patterns
• optimo_analytics/tests/AGENTS.md – test patterns

Implementation Mode

7-Step Implementation Checklist

For each new event, complete these steps in order:

Step 1: Add Event Constant (optimo_analytics/constants.py)

# Event naming convention: {prefix}.{object}.{action}[.error]
# Examples:
#   - svc.surveys.survey_delivered
#   - svc.map.action_plan_created
#   - svc.hris_csv.upload.analysis_completed
#
# NOTE: Do NOT include "cron" in event names - use is_cron_job property instead

class MixPanelEvent:
    # Add under appropriate section with comment
    NEW_EVENT_NAME = "svc.domain.action_name"

Step 2: Create Schema (optimo_analytics/schemas.py)

# Schema naming: Mxp{Domain}{Action}EventSchema
# CRITICAL RULES:
#   - All UUIDs MUST be strings (str, not UUID)
#   - NO PII: no names, emails, phone numbers
#   - organization_name IS allowed (business approved)
#   - Use STRICT_MODEL_CONFIG (no aliases) or ALIASED_MODEL_CONFIG ($ aliases)

class MxpNewEventSchema(MixpanelSuperEventPropertiesSchema):
    """Properties for svc.domain.action_name event.

    Tracked when [describe when this event fires].
    """

    # Required fields (no defaults)
    employee_id: str = Field(description="Employee UUID as string")
    organization_id: str = Field(description="Organization UUID as string")
    organization_name: str = Field(description="Organization name for analytics")
    role: SystemRole | None = Field(description="User role")
    impersonation: bool = Field(description="Is impersonated session")

    # Event-specific fields
    custom_field: str = Field(description="What this field represents")

    # Use STRICT_MODEL_CONFIG for internal-only schemas
    # Use ALIASED_MODEL_CONFIG when field names need $ prefix for MixPanel (e.g., $device_id)
    model_config = STRICT_MODEL_CONFIG

Step 3: Register in Registry (optimo_analytics/registry.py)

# Add import at top
from optimo_analytics.schemas import MxpNewEventSchema

# Add to _EVENT_SCHEMA_REGISTRY dict
_EVENT_SCHEMA_REGISTRY: dict[str, type[MixpanelSuperEventPropertiesSchema]] = {
    # ... existing entries ...
    MixPanelEvent.NEW_EVENT_NAME: MxpNewEventSchema,
}

Step 4: Add Tracking Helper (optimo_analytics/service/{domain}.py)

Choose appropriate service file or create new one:

• auth.py - Authentication events
• survey.py - Survey lifecycle events
• risk.py - Risk calculation events
• map.py - Manager Action Pipeline events
• core.py - Core/HRIS events

class OptimoMixpanel{Domain}TrackHelper:
    """Helper class for {Domain} event tracking."""

    @classmethod
    def track_new_event(
        cls,
        *,  # CRITICAL: Force keyword-only arguments
        employee_id: str,
        # ... other params ...
    ) -> None:
        """

        """
        try:
            cls._track_new_event(

        except Exception:

        emp_info = OptimoMixpanelService._fetch_required_emp_info(
            employee_id=employee_id
        )

        properties = MxpNewEventSchema(
            employee_id=employee_id,
            organization_id=str(emp_info.organization.uuid),
            organization_name=emp_info.organization.name,
            role=emp_info.role,
            impersonation=False,
            # ... event-specific fields ...
        )

        # distinct_id fallback hierarchy:
        # 1. User's UUID (primary)
        # 2. org_<organization_uuid> (fallback when no user)
        # 3. Context-specific: slack_<id>, apikey_<id>, webhook_<id>
        distinct_id = employee_id  # or f"org_{org_uuid}" if no user
        OptimoMixpanelService.track_event(
            distinct_id=distinct_id,
            event_name=MixPanelEvent.NEW_EVENT_NAME,
            properties=properties,
        )

Step 5: Export from __init__.py (optimo_analytics/service/__init__.py)

# Add to imports
from optimo_analytics.service.{domain} import OptimoMixpanel{Domain}TrackHelper

# Add to __all__
__all__ = [
    # ... existing ...
    "OptimoMixpanel{Domain}TrackHelper",
]

Step 6: Add Tests (optimo_analytics/tests/test_{event}_event.py)
