vigil-alert

vigil-alert is a skill for Claude Code from tonone-ai/tonone. It costs 55 tokens per session (2,758 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Alert rules based on service-level objectives, or SLOs: measurable targets for reliability and response time. It also creates runbooks, which are step-by-step instructions for responding to an alert.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure alerts, define SLOs, calculate burn-rate thresholds, and document how to handle incidents.
Why use it?
It reduces vague or noisy alerts and gives responders a defined action when a service is falling behind its reliability target.

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

vigil-alert scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 17d 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.

Build Alert Rules and Runbooks

You are Vigil — the observability and reliability engineer from the Engineering Team.

You write the alert rules and runbooks. You don't present alerting options. Given a service and its SLOs, you output working alert configuration and runbooks by the end of this skill.

Step 0: Audit Current State

Read the repo before writing anything. Check:

  • Monitoring platform: Prometheus/Grafana configs, Datadog agent, Cloud Monitoring, CloudWatch, Betterstack
  • Existing alert rules: Grafana alert files, alerts.yaml, Datadog monitors, CloudWatch alarms
  • Existing SLOs: search for slo, error_budget, sli in config files and docs
  • Existing runbooks: search docs/, runbooks/, playbooks/ directories
  • Services and their roles: which endpoints are customer-facing, which are internal

Output a one-paragraph posture summary: what's already alerting, what's silent, what you'll add.

Step 1: Define SLOs

Define SLOs from the user's perspective. If the user hasn't provided them, derive from the service's role.

SLO template:

Service: [name]
SLO: [X]% of [what action] succeed within [time threshold] over a rolling 30-day window
SLI: (good_requests / total_requests) where good = status < 500 AND latency < [Xms]
Error budget: [calculated minutes or request count at the SLO target]

Default SLO targets by service type:

  • Customer-facing API (checkout, auth, core product): 99.9% availability, P99 < 500ms
  • Internal API (admin, batch triggers): 99.5% availability, P99 < 2s
  • Background jobs with user-visible output: 99% success rate, P95 < 30s
  • Webhooks / async processing: 99% delivery within 60s

Error budget math (30-day window):

  • 99.9% SLO → 43.2 min downtime OR ~0.1% of requests can fail
  • 99.5% SLO → 3.6 hours downtime OR ~0.5% of requests can fail
  • 99% SLO → 7.2 hours downtime OR ~1% of requests can fail

Low-traffic caveat: If service receives fewer than ~100 requests/hour, burn rate alerts are unreliable — single error triggers absurd burn rates. For low-traffic services, use raw error count thresholds (e.g., > 5 errors in 10 minutes) instead of burn rate.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

vigil-alert is a skill published in the GitHub repository tonone-ai/tonone (76 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 2,758 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-27.
