monte-carlo-monitor-creation

monte-carlo-monitor-creation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 21 tokens per session (2,462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating Monte Carlo data monitors, which check datasets, tables, fields, or metrics for freshness, validity, or other problems. It produces YAML instructions rather than creating monitors directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare metric, validation, SQL, comparison, and table monitors for deployment through the Monte Carlo command-line tool or a CI/CD pipeline.
Why use it?
It helps turn monitoring requirements into deployable configuration while letting you review the proposed setup before applying it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

monte-carlo-monitor-creation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Monte Carlo Monitor Creation Skill

This skill teaches you to create Monte Carlo monitors correctly via MCP. Every creation tool runs in dry-run mode and returns monitors-as-code (MaC) YAML. No monitors are created directly -- the user applies the YAML via the Monte Carlo CLI or CI/CD.

Reference files live next to this skill file. Use the Read tool (not MCP resources) to access them:

  • Metric monitor details: references/metric-monitor.md (relative to this file)
  • Validation monitor details: references/validation-monitor.md (relative to this file)
  • Custom SQL monitor details: references/custom-sql-monitor.md (relative to this file)
  • Comparison monitor details: references/comparison-monitor.md (relative to this file)
  • Table monitor details: references/table-monitor.md (relative to this file)

When to activate this skill

Activate when the user:

  • Asks to create, add, or set up a monitor (e.g. "add a monitor for...", "create a freshness check on...", "set up validation for...")
  • Mentions monitoring a specific table, field, or metric
  • Wants to check data quality rules or enforce data contracts
  • Asks about monitoring options for a table or dataset
  • Requests monitors-as-code YAML generation
  • Wants to add monitoring after new transformation logic (when the prevent skill is not active)

When NOT to activate this skill

Do not activate when the user is:

  • Just querying data or exploring table contents
  • Triaging or responding to active alerts (use the prevent skill's Workflow 3)
  • Running impact assessments before code changes (use the prevent skill's Workflow 4)
  • Asking about existing monitor configuration (use getMonitors directly)
  • Editing or deleting existing monitors

Available MCP tools
