SIP Governance Alerts
Track Stacks Improvement Proposals (SIPs) and CAB (Consideration Advisory Board) voting activity. Get notified when SIP statuses change, new SIPs are proposed, or CAB votes open and close.
SIP governance alerts are set up conversationally through Nova — just describe what you want to monitor. Available on Discord and Telegram.
What You'll Get Notified About
SIP Status Change
A SIP moved between stages (e.g., Draft -> Review -> Accepted -> Ratified)
New SIP Proposed
A new SIP appeared in the registry
CAB Vote Opened
A Consideration Advisory Board vote was opened for a SIP
CAB Vote Closed
A CAB vote has concluded — includes yes/no/abstain tallies
SIP details include: title, status, type (Meta/Consensus/Standard), consideration area, authors, abstract, GitHub PR link, and forum discussion link.
CAB vote details include: which SIP, voting status (open/closed), vote tallies (yes, no, abstain), and total votes cast.
Setup via Conversation
Example Prompts — SIP Status

What Happens
Nova interprets your request and builds the alert conditions
Nova confirms: "I'll set up an alert for CAB voting changes on all SIPs. You'll be notified when any CAB vote opens or closes. Sound good?"
You confirm, and the alert is created
Nova polls SIP data every 2 hours and notifies you when conditions match

Combining Conditions (Premium)
Premium users can combine multiple conditions with AND/OR logic:
"Alert me when SIP-034 reaches Ratified status" (sip_id = sip-034 AND sip_status = Ratified) "Notify me about CAB activity on SIP-032 only" (sip_id = sip-032 AND cab_voting_status = any)
Browsing SIP Data
You can also ask Nova about SIPs without setting up alerts:
"What's the status of SIP-032?" "Show me all SIPs" "Which SIPs are in activation?" "Are there any open CAB votes?" "Show me SIP governance stats"
Nova returns full SIP details including CAB voting state, vote tallies, and links to GitHub and forum discussions.
SIP Lifecycle
CAB voting can occur at various stages and influences whether a SIP advances.
