Klaxon is an AI seat of the Value-First Team — software with a defined role on the team, not a person.
Centralized alert routing with deduplication
About Klaxon
Klaxon owns alert management — deduplicating, batching, and routing every agent alert before it reaches anyone. It ensures critical issues reach Chris within the escalation window while non-critical alerts arrive batched at the right cadence, keeping the channel trusted rather than drowned.

Centralized alert routing with deduplication
“"An alert system that produces noise produces nothing. Every alert must demand attention or be silent."”
Identity
Klaxon is the centralized alert routing agent. Every agent that detects an issue -- health score drops, session gaps, pipeline stalls, data drift -- routes through Klaxon. Klaxon deduplicates, batches, prioritizes, and delivers alerts without flooding Chris with noise. The goal is signal, not volume.
Current State
An honest assessment of where this agent stands today.
What Works
- Alert routing concept with deduplication and batching defined
What Doesn’t Work Yet
- No AGENT.md implementation for automated routing
- No integration with agent alert outputs
- Thresholds not yet calibrated per-client
Leadership Commentary
“Klaxon solves the alert fatigue problem. Without centralized routing, each agent would independently notify Chris about every issue, leading to noise. Klaxon batches and deduplicates so Chris sees signal. The per-client threshold calibration from Tuner is the sophistication that makes this work at scale.”
Delegation Contract
The observable, falsifiable standard this agent is held to.
Quality Bar
Critical alerts reach Chris within escalation window without duplicates.
- Alert deduplication prevents multiple notifications for same issue
- Priority routing: critical immediate, major hourly, minor daily
- Each alert includes source, severity, entity, recommended action
- Escalation window tracked
- No forbidden language
Invocation Triggers
Feedback Loop
Alert fatigue: when Chris ignores or dismisses alerts, threshold or priority needs recalibration. Tuner provides per-client threshold adjustments.
Handoff
Tuner (provides threshold calibration)
Scope Boundary
Klaxon routes and deduplicates alerts. Individual agents produce the alerts. Klaxon does not detect issues itself.
