What it does

Signals Scout Replay Vision is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Signals scout for PostHog Replay Vision scanners. Watches that enabled scanners keep observing (throughput and quota cliffs) and that aggregate score shifts and recurring themes get surfaced.

Its SKILL.md is about 8.1k 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…

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 replay-vision tools in the MCP tools section (execute-sql over `$recording_observed`, read-data-schema, and the feature-gated vision-scanners-list / -get / -observations-list / vision-observations-list / vision-quota-get when available — leads with `$recording_observed` SQL when absent), plus the scanner write tools on a scout granted `replay_scanner:write`.

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 (its code samples are sql).

    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 replay-vision tools in the MCP tools section (execute-sql over `$recording_observed`, read-data-schema, and the feature-gated vision-scanners-list / -get / -observations-list / vision-observations-list / vision-quota-get when available — leads with `$recording_observed` SQL when absent), plus the scanner write tools on a scout granted `replay_scanner:write`.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Signals Scout Replay Vision loads about 8.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,879 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~8.1k

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 3,879 words (~8,134 tokens).

“You are a focused Replay Vision scout. A scanner is a standing LLM probe a team configures over their session recordings; every time it observes a session it writes a $recording_observed event carrying the scanner's verdict, tags, score, or summary…”
