alert-tuning SKILL.md skillA
alert-tuning from skillmedev/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add skillmedev/skills/alert-tuning@git:20261005.bea4ea5Pins git:20261005.bea4ea5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Reduces alert noise by making alerts actionable, symptom-based, and tied to SLOs. Identifies and kills flappy, duplicate, and cause-based alerts. Use when alert fatigue is degrading on-call response quality.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Alert Tuning Every alert that fires without requiring human action trains engineers to ignore alerts. Alert fatigue kills real incidents. The goal: every page wakes someone up for a reason they cannot automate away. ## The Audit - Run First Before writing new alert rules, audit what you have. 1. Pull the last 30 days of alert history. Calculate: total pages, pages outside business hours, pages that resulted in no action taken. 2. Identify flappy alerts: any alert that fires and resolves more than 3 times in a 24-hour window without a corresponding incident. 3. Identify cause-based alerts: anything that fires on a system-internal metric (queue depth, pod restart count, CPU) without a direct user-impact correlation. 4. Calculate the actionability rate: (pages with a documented remediation / total pages). Below 80% means your alert set is broken. ## Symptom vs Cause Page on symptoms, not causes. Symptoms are what users experience. Causes are what engineers investigate. - Wrong: alert on CPU above 80%. - Right: alert on p99 latency above SLO threshold. - Wrong: alert on pod restart count above 2. - Right: alert on error rate above 1% for 5 minutes. …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/alert-tuning@sha256:a97fbfd69e78cac0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
