What it does

Inbox Exploration is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Explore PostHog's Inbox and act on what it surfaces — the place where signal reports cluster into actionable issues and trends. Use when the user asks "what's in my inbox?", "what should I look at?", "which reports are actionable?", "what's PostHog flagged recently?", asks about a specific report by ID or title, wants to act on / fix / implement a report (turn it into a PR), wants to resolve, dismiss, or snooze a report, or wants to see which signal sources are configured. Covers listing, filtering, drilling…

Its SKILL.md is about 7.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. It works with PostHog. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

The user asks whats in my inbox?
What should I look at?
Which reports are actionable?
Whats PostHog flagged recently?

Example prompts

“s in my inbox?”
“what should I look at?”
“which reports are actionable?”
“/inbox-exploration”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Look at source configs
Only then proceed to the user's actual question
Pull the ready/in-progress queue
Summarize by source and actionability
Offer the drill-down
Retrieve, check existing work, and claim it
Verify the diagnosis against the code (do not skip)
Scope the fix to the right layer
Open the PR and attach it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 812e5c6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- github.com
Also links to:
- posthog.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Inbox Exploration loads about 7.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 163 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,914 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~163
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~7.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,914 words (~7,678 tokens).

“The Inbox is where PostHog surfaces signal reports — clusters of related observations (signals) that have been aggregated into a single issue or trend (e.g. "Error rate spiked 3× on /checkout"). Reports come from multiple source products: error tracking, session…”
