alerting

alerting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xobotyi/cc-foundry. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,817 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Grafana's built-in system for defining alerts, checking conditions, and sending notifications. Grafana is a tool for viewing data and monitoring systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or changing alert rules, notification routing, templates, silences, or mute schedules in Grafana.
Why use it?
It helps avoid missed alerts, excessive notifications, and incorrect handling of states such as missing data or evaluation errors.

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

alerting 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 5d 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.

Grafana Alerting

Alert on symptoms, route to the right team, suppress noise without losing signal. Grafana unified alerting splits the job in two halves: a rule evaluator raises alert instances; an Alertmanager turns them into notifications. Get the split right at design time to avoid notification storms, missed pages, and silent failures.

Alert rule design

Choose the rule type

  • Grafana-managed (default) — multi-data-source queries, server-side expressions (reduce, math, threshold, classic), images in notifications, No Data / Error state handling, multi-dimensional alerts
  • Data source-managed — Prometheus-compatible (Mimir, Loki, Prometheus). Rules stored in the data source. Use when rules must live alongside data (multi-tenant Mimir/Loki) or for Prometheus migration

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

alerting is a skill published in the GitHub repository xobotyi/cc-foundry (20 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 2,817 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
