Use this skill whenever the user asks about alerts, wants to know if anything is broken or firing, asks about Alertmanager state, mentions alert silences, or wants to troubleshoot a specific alert like OTelCollectorDown, LokiDown, HighSessionCost, or SensitiveFileAccess. Also use when the user says "any alerts?" or "is everything ok" in the context of the obs stack. |

Silences
scripts/obs-api.sh am /api/v2/silences --raw --jq '.[] | select(.status.state == "active") | "\(.matchers | map("\(.name)=\(.value)") | join(", "))\tuntil \(.endsAt)"'
Prometheus rule states (firing/pending)
