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).

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

    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 plus the surveys and analytics tools listed in the body's MCP tools section.

Context cost

Signals Scout Surveys loads about 6.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,541 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8k

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.
