Best thing to do for something like this is to copy another
straightforward completion. For example, a search for something that
handles '-help' reveals Completion/Unix/Command/_tardy in the zsh
distribution --- it doesn't get much simpler than that. All you really
need to know here is that if there is a colon, the thing immediately
after the colon describes the argument; if there are two colons, the
stuff after the second is completion of the argument (e.g. your VALUE or
ID); the stuff in parentheses is literal value to be completed, and the
things beginning "_" are completion functions to be called to add the
values. There are functions you can call for pretty much anything
generic e.g. _urls for (surprise!) URLs. Copy it to _alerter, change
the line at the top to say "#compdef _alerter", change the list of
options, and that's it basically working.
If you want a professionally edited step-by-step guide, your best bet is
probably Oliver's chapter 15 from From Bash to Z Shell,
http://www.bash2zsh.com/ although that web site does have some other
potentially useful links.
