What problem does it solve?
PostHog Signals scouts are scheduled agents that watch a project and write findings into the Signals inbox, but getting value from them requires knowing how to delegate watches, act on reports, and steer the fleet over time. This Skill is the operating manual for that human–scout working relationship.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fleet readiness checks: Verify project enrollment, roster status, emit eligibility, and paused or dry-run scouts before delegating any watching job.
- Delegation guidance: Choose the cheapest path for a watch job — a note, a config tune, a skill edit, or a new custom scout — with worked recipes for common asks like watching a new event or quieting a noisy fleet.
- Feedback and calibration loops: Turn dismissals, notes, and report outcomes into steering signals, run periodic fleet health reviews, and promote recurring steers into permanent policy.
- Use Case: A user says "have a scout watch our EU signup funnel this week" — the Skill routes this to a time-boxed note on the product-analytics scout rather than authoring a new agent.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to check whether your PostHog project is enrolled for Signals scouts and list what each scout in the fleet currently watches.
