Analytics Setup Generator

Generate a protocol-based analytics infrastructure that makes it easy to swap providers without changing app code.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

Asks to "add analytics" or "set up analytics"
Mentions "TelemetryDeck", "Firebase Analytics", "Mixpanel"
Wants to "track events" or "add telemetry"
Asks about "privacy-friendly analytics"
Wants to swap analytics providers

Key Feature: Swappable Providers

The generated code uses a protocol-based architecture:

// Your app uses the protocol
analytics.track(.buttonTapped("subscribe"))

// Swap providers by changing ONE line:
let analytics: AnalyticsService = TelemetryDeckAnalytics() // or FirebaseAnalytics()

Pre-Generation Checks

1. Project Context Detection

[ ] Check for existing analytics implementations
[ ] Look for TelemetryDeck/Firebase/Mixpanel in Package.swift or Podfile
[ ] Identify source file locations

2. Conflict Detection

Search for existing analytics:

Glob: **/*Analytics*.swift, **/*Telemetry*.swift
Grep: "protocol.*Analytics" or "TelemetryDeck" or "Firebase"

If found, ask user:

Extend existing analytics?
Replace with new implementation?
Add new provider to existing setup?

Configuration Questions

Ask user via AskUserQuestion:

Which provider(s)?
TelemetryDeck (privacy-friendly, recommended)
Firebase Analytics
Mixpanel
None (NoOp for now, add later)

What events to track?
App lifecycle (launch, background, foreground)
Screen views
User actions (buttons, features used)
Errors
Custom events

User properties?
App version
Subscription status
Custom properties

Generation Process

Step 1: Create Core Files

Always generate these files:

AnalyticsService.swift - Protocol (never changes)
AnalyticsEvent.swift - Event definitions (app-specific)
NoOpAnalytics.swift - For testing/privacy mode

Step 2: Create Selected Provider(s)

Based on user selection:

TelemetryDeckAnalytics.swift
FirebaseAnalytics.swift
MixpanelAnalytics.swift

Step 3: Create Environment Integration

For SwiftUI apps:

AnalyticsServiceKey.swift - Environment key for dependency injection

Step 4: Determine File Location

Check project structure:

If Sources/ exists → Sources/Analytics/
If App/ exists → App/Analytics/
Otherwise → Analytics/

Output Format

After generation, provide:

Files Created

Sources/Analytics/
├── AnalyticsService.swift          # Protocol (stable interface)
├── AnalyticsEvent.swift            # Your app's events
├── Providers/
│   ├── NoOpAnalytics.swift         # Testing/privacy
│   └── [Provider]Analytics.swift   # Selected provider(s)
└── AnalyticsServiceKey.swift       # SwiftUI Environment (optional)

Integration Steps

App Entry Point:

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    // Choose your provider
    private let analytics: AnalyticsService = TelemetryDeckAnalytics(appID: "YOUR-APP-ID")

    init() {
        analytics.configure()
    }

    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
                .environment(\.analytics, analytics)
        }
    }
}

Tracking Events:

struct ContentView: View {
    @Environment(\.analytics) private var analytics

    var body: some View {
        Button("Subscribe") {
            analytics.track(.buttonTapped("subscribe"))
        }
    }
}

Required Dependencies

TelemetryDeck:

// Package.swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/TelemetryDeck/SwiftClient", from: "1.0.0")

Firebase:

// Package.swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk", from: "10.0.0")
// Also requires GoogleService-Info.plist

Swapping Providers Later

To switch providers:

Add new provider file (or generate with this skill)
Change ONE line in App.swift:

// Before
private let analytics: AnalyticsService = TelemetryDeckAnalytics(...)

// After
private let analytics: AnalyticsService = FirebaseAnalytics()

Testing

Use NoOpAnalytics() in tests and previews
All tracking calls become no-ops
No external dependencies in tests

XLSX

Comprehensive spreadsheet creation, editing, and analysis with support for formulas, formatting, data analysis, and visualization. When Claude needs to work with spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv, etc) for: (1) Creating new spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, (2) Reading or analyzing data, (3) Modify existing spreadsheets while preserving formulas, (4) Data analysis and visualization in spreadsheets, or (5) Recalculating formulas

Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like \"the xlsx in my downloads\") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.

Picks random winners from lists, spreadsheets, or Google Sheets for giveaways, raffles, and contests. Ensures fair, unbiased selection with transparency.

Query openFDA API for drugs, devices, adverse events, recalls, regulatory submissions (510k, PMA), substance identification (UNII), for FDA regulatory data analysis and safety research.

MATLAB and GNU Octave numerical computing for matrix operations, data analysis, visualization, and scientific computing. Use when writing MATLAB/Octave scripts for linear algebra, signal processing, image processing, differential equations, optimization, statistics, or creating scientific visualizations. Also use when the user needs help with MATLAB syntax, functions, or wants to convert between MATLAB and Python code. Scripts can be executed with MATLAB or the open-source GNU Octave interpreter.

UMAP dimensionality reduction. Fast nonlinear manifold learning for 2D/3D visualization, clustering preprocessing (HDBSCAN), supervised/parametric UMAP, for high-dimensional data.

Creating interactive data visualisations using d3.js. This skill should be used when creating custom charts, graphs, network diagrams, geographic visualisations, or any complex SVG-based data visualisation that requires fine-grained control over visual elements, transitions, or interactions. Use this for bespoke visualisations beyond standard charting libraries, whether in React, Vue, Svelte, vanilla JavaScript, or any other environment.
