Watch / Monitor

User story

I want to define a watch that only notifies me on meaningful changes, whether the source is a webpage, connector-backed resource, repo activity, or trigger event.

Pack contract

Prerequisites and readiness

• Manual web/source monitoring works without connectors
• Connector-backed monitors require the relevant connector
• Trigger-driven use should be routable via routines or triggers when available

Inputs and configuration fields

• watch_source: webpage / connector resource / repo / webhook family
• threshold: significance threshold or rule set
• suppression_rules: optional false-positive suppression criteria
• delivery_channel: in-app or chat channel

Outputs and delivery targets

• concise change summary
• why it fired
• what changed
• source reference(s)
• suppression / noise notes when relevant

Manual run recipe

1. Read the source snapshot or event.
2. Compare to the prior relevant state when available.
3. Apply suppression rules.
4. Emit only meaningful change summaries.

Example routine wiring

Run the Watch/Monitor pack every hour for the chosen source and notify only when the threshold is exceeded.

Example trigger wiring

Use as the target logic behind a packaged trigger that ingests webhook events and converts them into operator-safe summaries.

Example prompt

Set up the Watch/Monitor pack for repo activity with stale-noise suppression and mobile-safe alerts.

Failure and recovery behavior

• Missing prior state -> emit a baseline snapshot instead of a spurious alert.
• Missing connector -> fail closed with setup hint.
• Trigger noise -> report suppression decision and avoid alert spam.

Verification checklist

• [ ] Manual proof on a web/source input passes.
• [ ] Routine-oriented proof passes.
• [ ] Trigger-oriented proof passes.
• [ ] False-positive suppression behavior is documented.
• [ ] Alerts are mobile-safe and source-linked.
