# Alert

**MANDATORY DELEGATION:** This skill does NOT contain alert logic. You MUST load the appropriate sub-skill from the table below. Do NOT attempt to handle any alert-related request on your own — always delegate to a sub-skill first.

Do NOT:
- Generate any alert SQL without first loading the matching sub-skill
- Guess at syntax, condition queries, or notification content
- Skip loading the sub-skill because you think you already know the answer
- Partially follow the sub-skill — follow its complete workflow end-to-end

## Route to Sub-Skill

| Intent | Triggers | Action |
|--------|----------|--------|
| Create, alter, or delete alerts | "create alert", "new alert", "alter alert", "modify alert", "drop alert", "suspend alert", "resume alert", "set up alert", "monitor with alert" | **Load** `./alert-create-alter/SKILL.md` |
| Troubleshoot an alert that is firing, failing, or not delivering | "alert firing", "alert failed", "why did my alert trigger", "alert not firing", "CONDITION_FAILED", "ACTION_FAILED", "ACTION_SKIPPED", "notification not delivered", "debug alert", "investigate alert", "alert misfiring", "alert noisy", "alert silent" | **Load** `./alert-troubleshoot/SKILL.md` |

-**Runtime fallback (required):**
-If `skill alert-troubleshoot` is unavailable in this runtime, load `./alert-troubleshoot/SKILL.md` directly and execute it end-to-end. Do not switch to ad-hoc troubleshooting.

For the broader troubleshooting landscape (which products have dedicated troubleshoot skills, where the gaps are, how the uber skill routes between them), see [`TROUBLESHOOTING_LANDSCAPE.md`](TROUBLESHOOTING_LANDSCAPE.md).
