When deploying a new application to production and needing visibility from day one.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Monitoring & Alerting Stack Setup. # Context Original working context: - Act as an SRE. Design a monitoring and alerting stack for {{describe_application}}. - Step 1: Metrics: select the metrics stack (Prometheus + Grafana / Datadog / New Relic), define the top 10 metrics to instrument, and write example metric code in {{language}}. - Step 2: Logging: design structured logging format, log aggregation setup (ELK / Loki / CloudWatch), and define log retention policy. - Step 3: Alerting: write alerting rules for the 5 most critical conditions with severity levels and escalation paths. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

Define your SLOs before writing alerts — alerts should fire when you are burning through error budget, not every time a metric wiggles.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
Design the high-level architecture for this system. Cover components, data flow, scaling strategy, and key design decisions.
Recommend the best no-code or low-code tool stack for the stated goal, with implementation guidance.
Design the complete analysis approach for the stated question. Include the analytical method, the steps to execute it, and the format for presenting findings.
