What it does

Ops Investigate Alert is an agent skill from c0x12c/ai-toolkit. Investigate a monitoring alert end-to-end. Pulls metrics, logs, traces, and recent code changes to identify root cause. Works with any monitoring MCP.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Root cause analysis and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Datadog.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Root cause analysis
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/ops-investigate-alert”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify Monitoring MCP Availability
  2. Parse Input
  3. Fetch Monitor Details
  4. Query Metrics
  5. Analyze Logs
  6. Check Traces (if available)
  7. Check Infrastructure (if available)
  8. Check Recent Code Changes (if gh available)
  9. Present Investigation Summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 96b2c9d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ops Investigate Alert loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 621 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 621 words (~1,416 tokens).

“Investigate a monitoring alert by pulling metrics, logs, traces, and related service code. Symptoms in, root cause hypothesis out.”
