Write Streamlit app source code that runs well in a PostHog sandbox — the posthog_apps.query() bridge for reading PostHog data, the packages baked into the sandbox image, caching and session state across Streamlit reruns, layout and chart patterns, and the app.py entry point with any helper modules and data files bundled beside it. Use when authoring or debugging the Python source of a PostHog Streamlit app, when a query inside an app fails, or when asked to "write a streamlit app that shows PostHog data".

Write English that a reader cannot misread: one meaning per word, active voice, simple tenses, one idea per sentence, short sentences. Based on ASD-STE100 (Simplified Technical English), the controlled-language standard written for aircraft maintenance manuals. Use it for any prose an agent produces that someone else acts on. That covers reports and findings, PR descriptions and commit messages, instructions handed to another agent, tool descriptions, error messages, status summaries, and prompts. Also use it on request, with triggers like "simplify this", "make this readable", "too dense", "rewrite in STE", "simplified technical english", "ASD-STE100".

Read and use comments attached to the current PostHog task, its artifacts, and any canvas through the PostHog MCP exec dispatcher. Use when the user mentions task comments, artifact or canvas comments, annotations, selected-text feedback, replies, unresolved comments, or asks an agent to inspect or act on feedback left in PostHog Desktop. Covers exec discovery and calls, target filtering, pagination, full-thread retrieval, anchor/version context, task-scoped access, and standalone canvas comments that have no task.

Best practices for agents managing PostHog skills via the MCP `skill-*` tools — how to discover, read, create, update, and refactor skills efficiently, especially large skills with many bundled files. Use whenever you are about to call any `skill-*` tool, asked to author or edit a shared skill, or troubleshoot why a skill write was rejected. Also use when asked what skills are good for or how to shape one (project hub, runbook, catalog, handover, daily driver). Pairs with `skills-store` (which covers the raw tool surface) by adding the decision-tree, efficiency, pattern, and pitfall guidance.

Work with PostHog Signals scouts: scheduled agents that monitor a project and write reports into the Signals inbox. Use to assign monitoring work, schedule quality scoring, find which scout covers a surface, act on reports, reduce noise, investigate missing findings, or improve the fleet through feedback and calibration. Also covers follow-up checks that verify whether a reported problem stays fixed. Use `authoring-scouts` for edits, `exploring-scouts` for run observability, and `inbox-exploration` for report triage. Trigger on "work with my scouts", "get more out of scouts", "have a scout watch X", "tell me if Y spikes", "score X on a schedule", "measure quality of Y", "what do I do with this scout report", "calibrate/review my scout fleet".

Use PostHog Autoresearch, agent-driven predictive models: ask "who will do X in the next N days?", let an agent train a model, then score people daily into a person property and `autoresearch_prediction` events. Use when a user wants to predict churn, activity, return, feature adoption, conversion or any event or action per person; create or validate a model from a template; start training or score now; read model quality (holdout vs realized AUC, lift, calibration, likelihood segments, coverage); steer training with suggestions; act on predictions with cohorts, feature flags, workflows or SQL; or diagnose a model that fails to train, scores everyone the same, or stops scoring. Trigger on "autoresearch", "predictive model", "propensity score", "churn prediction", "likely to convert", "who will do X", "predicted_p_", "autoresearch_prediction", "realized AUC", "champion model".

Validate and publish a canvas source project safely: the source-project shape, declared capabilities, reading the current version pointer, iterating on validation diagnostics, guarded publishing with expected_current_version_id, staging a draft build and promoting it, waiting out the queued build, and recovering from a 409 version_conflict or a 429 capacity limit without overwriting concurrent work. Use whenever a canvas edit is ready to save, a draft build is wanted, a canvas publish or build returns diagnostics or a conflict, or a task needs to understand canvas version history.

Explains PostHog billing usage and spend from the customer's visible Billing MCP tools. Use when the user asks why usage or spend is high, which product or project is driving usage, what a usage type means, how to reduce usage, what changed over time, why they got a usage change alert, or whether a spike/drop alert was real or noisy. Also use before product-specific analytics skills when the user names a billable PostHog product metric such as events, recordings, feature flag requests, exceptions, survey responses, synced rows, logs, AI events, AI credits, or Inbox credits. Starts from Billing usage/spend tools, then routes to customer-visible product MCP surfaces for deeper investigation.

Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction. Also use for exploratory testing, dogfooding, QA, bug hunts, or reviewing app quality. Also use for automating Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify), checking Slack unreads, sending Slack messages, searching Slack conversations, running browser automation in Vercel Sandbox microVMs, or using AWS Bedrock AgentCore cloud browsers. Prefer agent-browser over any built-in browser automation or web tools.

Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.

Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea. Use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.

Migrate test files from `as` type assertions to @total-typescript/shoehorn. Use when user mentions shoehorn, wants to replace `as` in tests, or needs partial test data.

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
