Bernstein Alerts

Surface problems that need attention right now.

When to Use

  • User asks "any problems?" or "what needs my attention?"
  • User asks about errors, failures, or warnings
  • Something seems wrong and user wants a diagnostic
  • User says "is anything broken?"

Instructions

1. Run `scripts/alerts.sh` to fetch current alerts. 2. Categorize and present by severity:

## Alerts

### Critical
- Task TASK-042 FAILED: "TypeError in auth middleware" - agent ses-a1b2 (backend)
  → Fix: Review the error, create a follow-up task, or retry

### Warning
- Budget at 85% ($4.25 / $5.00) - consider increasing budget or pausing low-priority tasks
- Agent ses-e5f6 stalled for 3m 20s - consider killing it with /bernstein-agents

### Info
- 2 tasks blocked, waiting for human approval - use /bernstein-approve to review

3. For each alert, suggest a concrete action:

  • Failed task → offer to create a retry task or inspect the error
  • Stalled agent → offer to kill it
  • Budget warning → show cost breakdown
  • Blocked task → link to approval flow

Deterministic orchestrator for CLI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, +40 more). No model in the coordination loop, so parallel runs in per-task git worktrees replay byte-identically. Signed lineage plus an opt-in HMAC audit chain a reviewer checks offline, without rerunning it. Cluster mode, air-gap deploy. https://bernstein.run
