What it does
Bernstein Alerts is an agent skill from sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein. Show active alerts from Bernstein - failed tasks, stalled agents, budget warnings, blocked tasks needing human intervention. Use when the user asks about problems, errors, warnings, or what needs attention.
Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/alerts.sh`).
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: The open‑source AI Agents Governance & Orchestration framework: write the rules declaratively, Bernstein enforces them and produces the verifiable, replayable record. Free…. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about problems
- What needs attention
Example prompts
- “/bernstein-alerts”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run scripts/alerts.sh to fetch current alerts.
- Categorize and present by severity
- For each alert, suggest a concrete action
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cc0c7fc. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Bernstein Alerts loads about 334 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
