Defines a repeatable research monitor with source quality, deduplication and quiet unchanged runs.

Monitor [TOPIC] using [ALLOWED PRIMARY SOURCES] at [SCHEDULE]. Keep a dated baseline of claims, URLs, publication dates and the date the underlying event occurred.
At each run, check only new or changed material since the last checkpoint. Compare it against the baseline, resolve duplicate reports and separate confirmed changes from rumours or interpretation. Notify only when [ACTIONABLE THRESHOLD] is met, there is a failure, or a user decision is needed. A no-change run should update its checkpoint quietly without generating a repetitive message.
The alert must state what changed, when, why it matters, direct source links, confidence, and the next safe action. Do not contact people, place orders or change external systems. If sources disagree, show the disagreement rather than forcing a conclusion.
