| description | Configurable alerting on event patterns with webhook and message delivery.
Use this skill when: 1. You need to trigger alerts based on event patterns or thresholds 2. You need to notify external services (Slack, Discord, PagerDuty) of events 3. You need to escalate critical events to on-call agents 4. You need to aggregate and deduplicate alerts
Do NOT use this skill when: - You need simple event forwarding (use pilot-event-bus instead) - You need persistent logging (use pilot-event-log instead) - You need all events without filtering (subscribe directly)
