What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the skill’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
Write, edit, and adapt PostHog Signals scouts: scheduled agents that scan a project and report findings. Use to change a canonical scout's scope, thresholds, schedule, or dry-run settings; add a scout for an uncovered surface; record structured output from scheduled LLM scoring; or give feedback through notes. Covers SKILL.md structure, report requirements, follow-up report checks, structured output, duplicate detection, scratchpad memory, scout notes, per-team skills-store and canonical repository edits, and private prompt trials with saved rubrics. Trigger on "write/edit/customize a signals scout", "new scout for X", "tune my scout schedule", "make a scout that watches <event>", "score/judge/measure X with a scout", "test/compare scout prompts", "generate scout rubrics", "structured output from a scout", "scout output to Slack", "leave a note for / give feedback to a scout".
