What does the working-with-scouts skill do?
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".
