building-canvases
Create or edit a PostHog freeform canvas — a sandboxed browser application (data board, document, form, small tool, graphics experiment) stored in PostHog and rendered by the desktop/web app. Use when a task asks to build, generate, update, or fix a standalone canvas app, or when a freeform canvas id is given as the publish target. For grid/home canvases, widget placements, or reusable components, use composing-grid-canvases instead. Covers resolving or creating the target canvas, choosing an implementation approach (React + Quill vs plain HTML/browser APIs), the read → edit → validate → publish → build loop, and which companion canvas skills to load for the details.
