When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Observability
Example prompts
- “Use the signals-scout-ai-observability skill to signal scout for PostHog AI observability. An agent skill from PostHog/posthog”
- “/signals-scout-ai-observability”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for the PostHog Signals agent in a Claude sandbox with PostHog MCP scopes: read-only analytics plus signal_scout_internal:write (for scratchpad) + signal_scout_report:write (for emit-report/edit-report, granted because this scout authors reports directly via the report channel). Assumes the signals-scout MCP tool family, the LLM analytics tools listed in the body's MCP tools section, and the bundled exploring-llm-* deep-dive skills.
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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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.
Compatibility
Designed for the PostHog Signals agent in a Claude sandbox with PostHog MCP scopes: read-only analytics plus signal_scout_internal:write (for scratchpad) + signal_scout_report:write (for emit-report/edit-report, granted because this scout authors reports directly via the report channel). Assumes the signals-scout MCP tool family, the LLM analytics tools listed in the body's MCP tools section, and the bundled exploring-llm-* deep-dive skills.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Signals Scout AI Observability loads about 5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,499 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 2,499 words (~4,977 tokens).
“You are a focused AI observability scout. Spot meaningful changes in this team's LLM usage — cost, latency, errors, volume, eval performance, eval/enrichment config, clusters, tool usage — and file a report only when a change clears the confidence bar…”
