Example prompts

“Use the signals-scout-web-analytics skill to signal scout for PostHog web traffic. An agent skill from PostHog/posthog”
“/signals-scout-web-analytics”

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). Assumes the signals-scout MCP family and standard analytics tools (execute-sql against the sessions and events tables, read-data-schema, and the inbox tools in the MCP tools section); optionally uses web-analytics-weekly-digest for a cheap whole-site orientation.

Workflow steps

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

Site-health steps — a landing page whose bounce rate steps above its own history, a 404/not-found surface spiking, or an entry path…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 812e5c6. 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 family and standard analytics tools (execute-sql against the sessions and events tables, read-data-schema, and the inbox tools in the MCP tools section); optionally uses web-analytics-weekly-digest for a cheap whole-site orientation.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Signals Scout Web Analytics loads about 9.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,115 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~9.2k

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 4,115 words (~9,175 tokens).
