### What You'll Get Notified About

| Event                 | Description                                                                |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **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

> *"Alert me to all SIP changes"* *"Notify me when any SIP gets Ratified"* *"Alert me when SIP-034 changes status"* *"Tell me about new SIP proposals"*

#### Example Prompts — CAB Voting

> *"Alert me when CAB voting opens on any SIP"* *"Notify me when CAB votes close"* *"Alert me about all governance activity on SIP-032"* *"Tell me about any CAB voting activity"*

#### What Happens

1. Nova interprets your request and builds the alert conditions
2. 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?"*
3. You confirm, and the alert is created
4. Nova polls SIP data every 2 hours and notifies you when conditions match

### Condition Fields

| Field                   | Values                                                                                                 | Description                      |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| **sip\_id**             | e.g., `sip-032`, `sip-021`, or `any`                                                                   | Specific SIP or wildcard         |
| **sip\_status**         | `Draft`, `Review`, `Accepted`, `Activation-in-Progress`, `Ratified`, `Withdrawn`, `Rejected`, or `any` | Target status                    |
| **change\_type**        | `status_change`, `new_sip`, `cab_vote_opened`, `cab_vote_closed`                                       | What kind of governance activity |
| **cab\_voting\_status** | `opened`, `closed`, `any`                                                                              | CAB vote state filter            |

***

### 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

```
Draft -> Review -> Accepted -> Activation-in-Progress -> Ratified
                            \-> Withdrawn
                            \-> Rejected
```

CAB voting can occur at various stages and influences whether a SIP advances.
