Alert Optimizer
Overview
This skill takes error analysis data (ideally from the error-monitoring skill) and generates optimized alert rules, severity tiers, escalation policies, and on-call runbooks. It turns a noisy alerting setup into a structured incident response system.
Instructions
1. Understand Current State
Ask for or infer:
- Current monitoring platform (Sentry, Datadog, PagerDuty, etc.)
- Current alert volume and on-call team size
- Notification channels available (Slack, PagerDuty, email, SMS)
