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 familythreshold: significance threshold or rule setsuppression_rules: optional false-positive suppression criteriadelivery_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
- Read the source snapshot or event.
- Compare to the prior relevant state when available.
- Apply suppression rules.
- 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.
