Watch one environment of the system live from a sub-agent: a log tail, the alarms as they fire, and the error and latency signals, batched per interval and capped, with a read-only credential. Run it in a sub-agent the invoking session spawns, because it polls for the whole window, at most 30 batches, and reports when the window ends, the 30th batch closes, or an alarm fires. It applies the first responder rule: outside production an alarm raised by the team's own traffic may be suppressed…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# ops-watch A live tail with a cap. The skill polls the logs of one environment once per interval, reads the alarms every interval, and reports in batches. It is written to be run by a sub-agent: the invoking session spawns one with this skill's text, the arguments, and two paths from the repository root, the preamble `.agents/skills/_shared/ops-preamble.md` and the signals folder `.agents/skills/_shared/signals/`, since the sub-agent has the text without this skill's folder. The session reads the report when the agent returns. A session that runs it inline waits for the whole window. No command follows a stream. A command that never returns runs into the shell's time cap, which ends the call and loses the batch. So every read is a bounded query over one closed interval, and the wait between two is a `sleep` of the interval, which is capped well under the time cap. Read `../_shared/ops-preamble.md`, a path from this skill's folder, before the first step; a sub-agent reads `.agents/skills/_shared/ops-preamble.md` from the repository root. The profiles, the account check, and the env file are there. ## Input …

How to install
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/ops-watch@sha256:2fdf925f20e81133The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.7748a1f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
