Generate Alert Test Data

This skill generates randomized alert events that match the project's AlarmEvent / Alert data model.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Generate sample alert data for testing
• Populate the system with realistic mock events
• Create edge-case alerts for specific testing scenarios

Alert Schema

Each generated alert must include:

• id: Unique identifier (UUID or incrementing number)
• name: Descriptive alert name (e.g., "Motion detected in warehouse")
• description: Detailed description of the event
• time / createdDate: ISO 8601 timestamp in UTC
• severity: One of Info, Warning, Error, Critical
• status: One of Active, Acknowledged, Resolved
• location: Human-readable location name
• latitude / longitude: Valid coordinates
• source: Device type (Camera, Microphone, Sensor, MotionDetector, SmartPhone, Tablet)

Generation Rules

1. Realistic distribution: ~40% Info, ~30% Warning, ~20% Error, ~10% Critical
2. Time spread: Generate alerts across the last 30 days with realistic clustering
3. Location variety: Use at least 5 different locations
4. Source diversity: Distribute across all device types
5. Status mix: ~50% Active, ~30% Acknowledged, ~20% Resolved
6. Descriptions: Use realistic security/safety scenarios (not generic placeholder text)

Output Format

Generate data matching the track's language:

• TypeScript: Array of AlarmEvent objects matching models.ts
• C#: List of Alert objects matching Alert.cs
• C++: Vector of Alert structs matching Alert.h

Example Usage

/generate-alerts 20
/generate-alerts 5 Critical
/generate-alerts 50 for load testing
