Monte Carlo Monitor Creation Skill

This skill teaches you to create Monte Carlo monitors correctly via MCP. Every creation tool runs in dry-run mode and returns monitors-as-code (MaC) YAML. No monitors are created directly -- the user applies the YAML via the Monte Carlo CLI or CI/CD.

Reference files live next to this skill file. Use the Read tool (not MCP resources) to access them:

• Metric monitor details: references/metric-monitor.md (relative to this file)
• Validation monitor details: references/validation-monitor.md (relative to this file)
• Custom SQL monitor details: references/custom-sql-monitor.md (relative to this file)
• Comparison monitor details: references/comparison-monitor.md (relative to this file)
• Table monitor details: references/table-monitor.md (relative to this file)

When to activate this skill

Activate when the user:

• Asks to create, add, or set up a monitor (e.g. "add a monitor for...", "create a freshness check on...", "set up validation for...")
• Mentions monitoring a specific table, field, or metric
• Wants to check data quality rules or enforce data contracts
