What it does

Signals Scout Data Pipelines is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Signals scout for PostHog data pipelines — CDP destinations and transformations, batch exports, and hog flows. Watches for delivery failures, degraded functions, and stalled exports against each pipeline's baseline.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: PostHog Signals agent (Claude sandbox). Read-only analytics + signalscoutinternal:write (scratchpad) + signalscoutreport:write (report channel), plus the CDP…

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data pipelines and ETL. 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 Data pipelines and ETL

Example prompts

  • “Use the signals-scout-data-pipelines skill to signal scout for PostHog data pipelines — CDP destinations and transformations, batch exports, and hog…”
  • “/signals-scout-data-pipelines”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): PostHog Signals agent (Claude sandbox). Read-only analytics + signal_scout_internal:write (scratchpad) + signal_scout_report:write (report channel), plus the CDP function, batch export, workflow, and analytics tools in the MCP tools section.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Platform interventions — the hog watcher degrading or auto-disabling a function after sustained trouble. The team rarely notices; data…
  2. Delivery contradictions — an enabled pipeline whose failure share steps above its own history, a batch export run failing or the schedule…

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:

    • stripe

    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

    PostHog Signals agent (Claude sandbox). Read-only analytics + signal_scout_internal:write (scratchpad) + signal_scout_report:write (report channel), plus the CDP function, batch export, workflow, and analytics tools in the MCP tools section.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Signals Scout Data Pipelines loads about 6.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,254 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.5k

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 3,254 words (~6,524 tokens).

“You are a focused data pipelines scout. A pipeline is a promise that data flows somewhere else — a destination forwarding events to a third party, a transformation rewriting events on the way into ingestion, a batch export landing rows…”
