What it does

Reviewing Personhog Protocol is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. The full review process for personhog coordination-protocol changes — leases, fencing, handoffs, supervisors, failure budgets, warming, and changelog semantics. Use before pushing or requesting review on any personhog protocol changeset, when asked for an exhaustive or careful review of personhog code, and after any reviewer finds a gap the author missed. Covers the adversarial two-pass process, the review lens dimensions, the model-checking and test layers a change must clear, and the red-check-every-fix…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/personhog-invariants.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. 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…

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Author pass. Sweep the full diff against every lens dimension

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c012c8d. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Reviewing Personhog Protocol loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 138 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~138
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

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 1,184 words (~2,270 tokens).

“Protocol defects survive ordinary review because every component looks correct in isolation — the bugs live in compositions: an authority signal nobody observes during one await, a threshold that coincides with a detector's duration, a rarely-taken exit path that skips…”
