discover-event-surfaces

Cursor Skill

Given a change_brief YAML (output from diff-intake), generates an exhaustive list of candidate analytics events to instrument. Takes the perspective of an engineer with a PM mindset — surfaces everything worth considering so a PM can decide what actually matters. Use this as step 2 of the analytics instrumentation workflow, immediately after diff-intake produces a change_brief. Trigger whenever a user has a change_brief YAML and wants to know what analytics events to add, or asks "what should I track for this PR", "what events should I instrument", "generate event candidates", or any request to surface analytics coverage gaps for a code change.

Use Amplitude like an expert - instrument analytics, discover product opportunities, analyze charts, create dashboards, manage experiments, and understand users and accounts

add-analytics-instrumentationEnd-to-end analytics instrumentation workflow for a PR, branch, file, directory, or feature. Reads the code, discovers what events should be tracked, and produces a concrete instrumentation plan — all in one shot. Use this skill whenever a user wants to add analytics to a PR, asks "instrument this PR", "add tracking to this branch", "what analytics does this file need", "instrument the checkout flow", "run the full instrumentation workflow", or any request that implies going from code changes to a tracking plan. Also trigger when the user gives you a PR link, branch name, file path, or feature description and mentions analytics, events, or instrumentation. This is the main entry point for the analytics workflow — prefer it over calling the individual steps (diff-intake, discover-event-surfaces, instrument-events) separately.

analyze-account-healthSummarizes B2B account health by analyzing usage patterns, engagement trends, risk signals, and expansion opportunities. Use for customer success reviews, renewal preparation, QBRs, or account prioritization.

analyze-ai-topicsAnalyzes what users ask AI agents about and how well each topic is served. Only use when the user has Amplitude Agent Analytics instrumented in their project. Use when the user asks "what are people asking the AI", "top AI topics", "where is the AI struggling", "AI coverage gaps", "what should we improve in our AI", or wants product insights from AI conversation patterns.

analyze-chartPerforms deep analysis of a specific Amplitude chart to explain trends, anomalies, and likely drivers. Use when a metric looks unusual, investigating a spike or drop, or understanding the "why" behind numbers.

analyze-dashboardDeeply analyze Amplitude dashboards by analyzing key charts, surfacing top areas for concern and takeaways, identify anomalies, then explain changes using customer feedback trends
