What it does

The Signals Scout (general) inspects a PostHog project and surfaces high-value cross-product findings that specialist scouts may miss. It performs lightweight profiling (product usage, top events, inbox report counts), consults the scout scratchpad and recent run summaries, runs targeted validation queries (trends, funnels, error issues, SQL), and emits structured findings when confidence thresholds are met.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need a broad, cross-cutting review of a PostHog project — to detect correlations across analytics, logs, errors, revenue, and surveys, or to find issues not covered by specialist scouts. It is suitable for periodic automated runs (hourly) or ad-hoc exploratory investigations.

What's included

Scripts: none (skill is an agent instruction set).
References: includes emit contract and conventions under references/ in the repo (guides how to format emits, dedupe keys, and confidence rubrics).
Instructions: step-by-step run recipe — orient with project-profile and runs-list, explore with targeted queries, decide whether to emit, remember, or skip.

Compatible agents

Designed for PostHog's internal scout harness and Claude-style sandboxes with MCP scopes for project reads and emit/write capabilities.

Audit Summary

Signals Scout General is a PostHog-specific skill that scans a PostHog project for cross-product correlations and surfaces actionable findings via report channels. No bundled scripts — pure instruction-based. The SKILL.md is well-structured with clear phases (Orient, Map, Explore, Decide, Close out) and good scratchpad key conventions. Very niche audience limited to PostHog Signals users.

Watch Out

Requires PostHog MCP scopes (signal_scout:read, signal_scout_internal:write, signal_scout_report:write)
Only useful within PostHog's product infrastructure

Notes

No scripts present — static analysis only. Clean security posture with no shell commands, exfiltration, or destructive patterns. Well-organized SKILL.md with progressive disclosure via references/. Niche but well-executed for its specific domain.
