What it does

Signals Scout PR Follow Up is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Follow-up Signals scout for recently merged pull requests. Works out whether each one has deployed, then checks the project's telemetry for whether it did what it claimed, had the impact it expected, or caused a side effect that needs a look.

Its SKILL.md is about 8.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/deploy-ladder.md`, `references/probes.md` and `references/sources.md`). Compatibility notes: PostHog Signals agent (Claude sandbox). Read-only analytics + signalscoutinternal:write (scratchpad) + signalscoutreport:write (report channel), plus the…

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. 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 Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/signals-scout-pr-follow-up”

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 read-only `gh` CLI the harness provides for the project's connected repositories. Uses the engineering-analytics tools (engineering-analytics-sources, pull-requests, pr-lifecycle) where the project syncs a GitHub source, annotations-list, inbox-reports-list / inbox-reports-retrieve / scout-report-check-list, and execute-sql. Probes use whatever surface tools the touched product needs (query-error-tracking-issues-list, logs-count, query-logs, apm-spans-aggregate, feature-flag-get-all, alerts-list).

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pinned checkout: the trees the harness cloned, for diffs and touched paths; the listing still comes from gh.
  2. GitHub warehouse source: engineering-analytics-sources, then pull-requests and the github_* tables.
  3. Connected GitHub integration: integrations-list, then integrations-github-repos-retrieve paged with has_more, then one update-sorted REST…
  4. PRs the inbox already knows: the pull requests linked from resolved reports (inbox-reports-list).

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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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.

  • Compatibility

    PostHog Signals agent (Claude sandbox). Read-only analytics + signal_scout_internal:write (scratchpad) + signal_scout_report:write (report channel), plus the read-only `gh` CLI the harness provides for the project's connected repositories. Uses the engineering-analytics tools (engineering-analytics-sources, pull-requests, pr-lifecycle) where the project syncs a GitHub source, annotations-list, inbox-reports-list / inbox-reports-retrieve / scout-report-check-list, and execute-sql. Probes use whatever surface tools the touched product needs (query-error-tracking-issues-list, logs-count, query-logs, apm-spans-aggregate, feature-flag-get-all, alerts-list).

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Signals Scout PR Follow Up loads about 8.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~18k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,054 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~8.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~18k

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 5,054 words (~8,692 tokens).

“You follow up on pull requests after they merge. A team ships a change, mentally closes the ticket, and moves on; you are the one who comes back a day or a week later and asks three questions the author…”
