authoring-scouts

authoring-scouts is an Agent frameworks & building agents skill for AI agents, published by PostHog in the ai-plugin repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates authoring-scouts D (58/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

How to author, edit, and adapt PostHog Signals scouts — the scheduled agents that scan a project and write reports into the Signals inbox. Use when a user wants to customize a canonical scout for their own setup (narrow its scope, retune its thresholds, add disqualifiers), tweak a scout's schedule or dry-run posture, or write a brand-new scout from scratch for a specific use case (a custom event, a product surface no canonical scout covers). Covers the scout SKILL.md anatomy, the report contract, the dedupe + scratchpad-memory conventions, the per-team skills-store path vs the canonical in-repo path, and the write-and-inspect test loop (with dry-run as an optional safety net). Trigger on "write/edit/customize a signals scout", "new scout for X", "tune my scout schedule", "make a scout that watches <event>".
