Context
Use to specify a monitoring automation before building it in an automation platform.
Prompt
Design an alerting workflow from this description. Output an implementable spec, not advice.

GOAL: [what you want to be told about]
Assets / addresses / protocols: [LIST]
Available tools: [automation platform, data APIs, notification channel]
Tolerance: [how many alerts per week are acceptable]

Produce:
1. Event definitions with exact thresholds and the reason each threshold was chosen.
2. Data source per event, including the specific endpoint or query type.
3. Polling or webhook design, with frequency and cost considerations.
4. Normalised event schema (field names and types).
5. Deduplication and rate-limiting rules keyed to prevent alert storms.
6. Enrichment fields that make each alert actionable without further lookups.
7. Notification format: one example message per event type.
8. Failure handling: what happens when a data source is down or returns stale data.
9. A monthly review checklist to prune useless rules.

Assume no execution — alerts only.
Example Output
Event 1: watchlisted wallet buys over $25k in a token under $50M cap — threshold set so roughly 3 alerts/week fire. Source: indexer webhook on address activity. Schema: {chain, wallet_label, token, direction, usd_value, tx_hash, ts}. Dedup: key wallet+token, 6h cooldown. Enrichment: token liquidity, 24h change. Message: '[SmartMoney-3] bought $41k TOKEN — pool $2.1M — tx ↗'. Stale data: alert the operator, do not fire trade alerts.

Related use cases

How people apply it, and what came out.

  • Create An On-chain Alert System

    A purpose-built alert pipeline with enrichment and deduplication achieved a 30% action rate, versus near-zero for off-the-shelf feeds.

  • Monitor A Crypto Portfolio

    Aggregating six addresses across three chains revealed that a portfolio believed to hold 14 positions actually held one concentrated bet.

  • Build An AI Crypto Research Agent

    A read-only research agent produced daily briefings on a 30-token watchlist, cutting a 90-minute manual routine to a 10-minute review.
