Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads SigNoz/agent-skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.

Maintenance
Describe what an existing SigNoz alert rule does in plain language: the signal it watches, the threshold and evaluation behavior, the notification routing, and a one-line fire-frequency summary so the user knows whether the alert has been active. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user asks "what does this alert do", "explain alert X", "walk me through this rule", "how does my [Y] alert work", "is this alert configured correctly", or otherwise asks for an interpretation of an existing alert's configuration. Static explanation only; for diagnosing a specific firing incident, use `signoz-investigating-alerts`.
