Missing context to resolve first

• Whether the alert intent is natural-language friendly enough for AI-first analysis drafting.
• Candidate analysis name.
• Whether downstream notification routing is in scope after create success.
• Notify target when routing is in scope.
• AI alert prompt seed.
• idmp-cli ai create create --ack-risk --data '{"elementId":123,"prompt":"alert when ...","record":true}'
• idmp-cli event-template events get --params '{"id":789}'
• idmp-cli analysis analyses new-name --ack-risk --params '{"elementId":123,"name":"demo-alert"}'
• Trigger source.
• Non-leaf proof boundary.
• Whether the operator wants only create success or an extra downstream-debug pass later.

Constrained live behaviors

• try-send is not part of create success.
• Write-chain boundary.
• Prefer AI draft-first create for the Event-trigger analysis when the operator starts from natural language; fall back to the structured alert chain when the AI draft is unsuitable or persistence fails.
• event-template events get uses id.
• analysis.analyses.new-name needs a candidate name and --ack-risk.
• Create or resume the analysis before you write the notify rule.
• If analysis trigger-types list for applyOnSelf=false does not include Event, stop instead of forcing child-scope alert creation.
• Trigger types gate create eligibility; they do not require a real event during create proof.
• Keep escalationInterval aligned with the actual notify-rule DTO.
• Create success means the analysis is created, reread, and Running.
• Do not write source attributes or replay history just to prove alert creation.
• Real event materialization and notification delivery are optional downstream diagnostics, not part of create success.

Execution flow

1. Prepare the template side with idmp-cli event-template events list, idmp-cli event-template events get --params, and idmp-cli event-template events create --ack-risk only when no reusable template exists.
2. For natural-language alert requests, try AI draft-first create for the analysis portion with idmp-cli ai create create --ack-risk --data '{"elementId":123,"prompt":"alert when ...","record":true,"deepThinking":false,"deviceDocument":false}', then persist the returned draft through idmp-cli analysis analyses create --ack-risk --params after removing id and injecting rootElementId.
3. If the AI draft does not preserve the required event template, severity, scope, or output bindings, fall back to the current structured alert flow.
4. Reserve the analysis name with idmp-cli analysis analyses new-name --ack-risk --params, then prove scope support with idmp-cli analysis trigger-types list --params.
5. Create the missing output attribute only if required by using idmp-cli attribute elements attributes-post --ack-risk --params.
6. Create and reread the alert analysis via idmp-cli analysis analyses create --ack-risk --params and idmp-cli analysis analyses get --params.
7. Resume the analysis with idmp-cli analysis analyses resume --ack-risk --params. Success means analysis analyses get reread plus analysis analyses resume reaching Running.
8. If downstream routing is explicitly in scope after the analysis is already Running, inspect or add notify-rule coverage with idmp-cli notification notify-rules list --params, idmp-cli notification notify-rules create --ack-risk --params, and idmp-cli notification notify-rules update --ack-risk --params.
9. Clean up abandoned drafts with idmp-cli analysis analyses delete --ack-risk --params.

For command-family coverage, the core create flow touches these steps in order: idmp-cli event-template events list, idmp-cli event-template events get --params, idmp-cli analysis analyses new-name --ack-risk --params, idmp-cli analysis trigger-types list --params, idmp-cli attribute elements attributes-post --ack-risk --params, idmp-cli analysis analyses create --ack-risk --params, idmp-cli analysis analyses get --params, and idmp-cli analysis analyses resume --ack-risk --params. Optional post-create routing can also use idmp-cli notification notify-rules list --params, idmp-cli notification notify-rules create --ack-risk --params, and idmp-cli notification notify-rules update --ack-risk --params after the analysis is already Running.

Exception paths

• Stop immediately when child-scope trigger types do not include Event.
• If the AI draft does not survive persistence or comes back without the required Event-trigger fields, clean any draft-only output attributes and resume from the structured alert path.
• If analysis analyses get --params succeeds but analysis analyses resume --ack-risk --params does not leave the analysis in Running, classify the attempt as create incomplete or runtime-start boundary.
• A missing real event is not a create failure for this skill.
• analysis attribute list, attribute write-data create, analysis analyses fill-history, event events list, event events confirm, and notification try-send create belong to later debugging or delivery validation, not to create proof.
• Delete temporary output attributes, notify rules, or draft analyses when a proof attempt is abandoned.

Validation scenarios

1. Leaf owner strict live proof

Use the chain from idmp-cli analysis analyses create --ack-risk --params through idmp-cli analysis analyses resume --ack-risk --params. Success is create + reread + Running; do not replay source data just to open a real event.

2. Middle owner strict replay proof

Keep the same create chain, but require only explicit evidence that the non-leaf self analysis was created, reread, and reached Running. Trigger support gates create eligibility; it does not require event materialization.

3. Middle child aggregation must stop when Event is unavailable

Run idmp-cli analysis trigger-types list --params first. If Event is absent for applyOnSelf=false, stop and report the boundary without forcing create.

4. New event template plus notify-rule reuse

Read event-template and notify-rule state separately before writing. Reuse a working notify rule when possible instead of duplicating it, but treat notify-rule work as optional follow-up after create success.

5. Template-mode alert workflow

Preserve the same proof discipline in template mode: scope check, create, reread, and Running. Do not call the workflow successful on template reads alone, and do not require real event materialization.
