Signals Scout — General

What it does

A general-purpose Signals scout that runs against a PostHog project, orients using project profile and past runs, and searches for cross-product correlations and actionable findings. It validates hypotheses with concrete queries (trends, funnels, errors) and either emits high-confidence signals or records lower-confidence observations to a scratchpad for later review.

When to use it

Use daily or on-demand when you want an automated analyst to surface product analytics issues that span multiple PostHog products (events, errors, session replay, experiments). It complements specialist scouts by focusing on cross-cutting patterns and things specialists may miss.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled in the skill (has_scripts=false)
• References: includes references/ with emit and conventions docs (has_references=true)
• Instructions: cold-start reads (project-profile, scratchpad-search, runs-list), exploration advice, decision rules for emit vs remember vs skip, and conventions for scratchpad keys. Provides a compact playbook for automated findings.

Compatible agents

Intended for agents integrated with PostHog MCP scopes and capable of executing analytics queries (Claude/LLM agents with PostHog connectors, server-side analytic runners).
