When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when:

• Tracking KPIs in real time (message counts, top users, session durations)
• Setting threshold alerts (publish a message / call a webhook / update App Context when a metric crosses a value)
• Detecting anomalies (cross-posting spam, chat flooding, abnormal volume)
• Visualizing live activity with charts
• Auto-moderating users (auto-mute on spam detection)
• Using the manage_illuminate MCP tool
