What it does
Signals Scout Observability Gaps is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Signals scout for observability gaps — significant event volumes with no insight, dashboard, or alert coverage. Recommends new insights, dashboards, or alerts as the product evolves.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.9k 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…

When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Observability
Example prompts
- “Use the signals-scout-observability-gaps skill to signal scout for observability gaps — significant event volumes with no insight, dashboard, or…”
- “/signals-scout-observability-gaps”
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 analytics and entity tools in the MCP tools section (read-data-schema, query-trends, query-paths, execute-sql over system.* tables, alerts-list, dashboards-get-all).
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- High-volume custom event with no insight coverage
- Insight drift — saved insights pointing at zero-volume events
- Critical event with no alerts configured
- Dashboard scope gap
- Funnel candidate — sequential event pattern with no funnel insight
- Property cardinality / missing breakdown
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
PostHog Signals agent (Claude sandbox). Read-only analytics + signal_scout_internal:write (scratchpad) + signal_scout_report:write (report channel), plus the analytics and entity tools in the MCP tools section (read-data-schema, query-trends, query-paths, execute-sql over system.* tables, alerts-list, dashboards-get-all).
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Signals Scout Observability Gaps loads about 5.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,136 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 3,136 words (~5,919 tokens).
“You are a focused observability-gaps scout. Spot meaningful gaps between what events this team is producing and what they have set up to observe — and file a report recommending new insights, dashboard additions, or alerts when a gap clears…”
