Here are set of more in depth examples https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.0/examples/. While they cover specific topics having a read through them will help to get and idea of what is possible.
Also there are a handful of examples here https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/tree/master/examples/telegraf related to telegraf plugins. Many of them are similar but are a good starting point. I agree that the docs on the deadman switch could be improved. Its probably one of the hardest parts to get right in a TICKscript since it behaves so differently from the rest of the nodes. The deadmans switch is based off the stats node, having a read through on that node may help, https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.0/nodes/stats_node/. Finally each of the nodes has an example https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.0/nodes/. Overall there are many examples throughout the docs, after browsing through them if you do have specific questions please reach out.
