What it does

Signals Scout Aeo Citations is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Watches AEO citation-check results in system.aeocitationchecks and files an inbox report when a domain's citation rate on an answer engine drops or spikes versus its baseline, or when the citation runner itself is failing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering AI search optimization and Citation 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

  • Tasks that involve AI search optimization
  • Tasks that involve Citation management

Example prompts

  • “Use the signals-scout-aeo-citations skill to watch AEO citation-check results in system.aeocitationchecks and files an inbox report when a domain's…”
  • “/signals-scout-aeo-citations”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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:

    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Signals Scout Aeo Citations loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 626 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 626 words (~1,379 tokens).

“POC scout — deliberately NOT under products/signals/skills/ so it is never auto-seeded fleet-wide. Register it per-team on the pilot project through the skills-store path (scout-create-prepare / scout-create-execute API, with this file's frontmatter and body as the skill), leaving default trusted…”
