What it does

Use this skill when operating VSS alert workflows, real-time monitoring, Alert-Bridge subscriptions, verification verdicts, on-demand verification, always-on operation, Slack notifications, incident queries, or camera onboarding. Not for non-alert analytics.

Purpose

Operate the VSS alert pipeline (mode detection, Alert-Bridge subscriptions, verification verdicts, on-demand verification, always-on operation, Slack notifications, queries, camera onboarding, verifier-prompt customization).

Prerequisites

  • The vss CLI on PATH. The OpenClaw and Hermes harness images ship it; anywhere else, install it from the same checkout as this skill so the CLI and the skill match: uv tool install <checkout>/libs/vss/cli.
  • Active VSS alerts profile reachable either on Docker ($HOST_IP:9080 Alert Bridge) or through the public Ingress (VSS_PUBLIC_URL with /alert-bridge).
  • Follow ../vss-build-vision-ai/references/deployment_resolution.md for the shared VSS_PUBLIC_URL contract.
  • curl and jq on the agent host. Docker Compose mode detection may use docker / generated.env; Kubernetes must not.

Instructions

Follow the routing tables and step-by-step workflows below. Each section that ends in workflow, quick start, or flow is intended to be executed top-to-bottom. Detailed reference material lives in references/ and helper scripts live in scripts/, call them via run_script when the skill points to a script by name.

Examples

Runnable end-to-end scenarios live under evals/ (each *.json manifest); inline curl blocks appear in each workflow below. Replay with nv-base validate <this-skill-dir> --agent-eval.

Limitations

Requires the matching VSS profile/microservice deployed and reachable. NGC-hosted models/NIMs are subject to rate-limits, GPU-memory needs, and license terms; concurrency and storage limits depend on host hardware and the profile's compose file.
