Alert Manager

Sets up proactive monitoring alerts for ranking, traffic, technical, backlink, competitor, and GEO changes.

Quick Start

Set up SEO monitoring alerts for [domain]

Create ranking drop alerts for my top 20 keywords

Skill Contract

Expected output: an alert configuration summary plus the standard handoff summary for memory/monitoring/.

• Reads: current metrics, baselines, alert thresholds, and reporting context from CLAUDE.md and the shared State Model when available.
• Writes: a user-facing monitoring deliverable and reusable summary.
• Promotes: significant anomalies, durable thresholds, follow-up actions, and pending decisions to memory/open-loops.md.
• Primary next skill: performance-reporter when alert output needs a reporting cadence.

Handoff Summary

Emit the standard shape from skill-contract.md §Handoff Summary Format.

Data Sources

All integrations optional (see CONNECTORS.md). With tools, monitor real-time feeds from SEO tool, search console, and ~~web crawler. Without tools, ask for baselines, critical keywords, preferences, and historical data.

Instructions

When a user requests alert setup:

1. Define Alert Categories — choose from rankings, traffic, technical, backlinks, competitors, GEO / AI, and brand alerts.
2. Configure Alert Rules by Category — define trigger condition, threshold, alert name, and priority for each relevant rule.
3. Define Alert Response Plans — map Critical / High / Medium / Low to response time and next actions.
4. Set Up Alert Delivery — configure channels, routing, cooldowns, maintenance windows, and escalation paths.
5. Create Alert Summary — deliver category counts, critical playbook, and weekly review checklist.

Reference: See references/alert-configuration-templates.md for the full category tables, thresholds, and response-plan templates.

Example

Sample outcome: a keyword alert matrix with Critical vs High thresholds, a response plan for drops, and notification routing to email + Slack.

Tips for Success

Start simple, tune thresholds to normal volatility, avoid alert fatigue, and review the system regularly.
