Continuous monitoring using Deacon/Witness patterns for agent health checks, stuck detection, and automated recovery.
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
- When agents may become stuck or unresponsive - For long-running multi-agent workflows - When automated recovery is desired ## Process 1. **Health check** all active agents and convoys 2. **Detect** stuck or unresponsive agents via heartbeats 3. **Recover** - restart, reassign, or escalate as needed 4. **Report** patrol findings with trend analysis ## Monitoring Roles - **Deacon**: Daemon supervisor, monitors overall health - **Witness**: Per-rig lifecycle manager for workers - **Boot (Dog)**: Watches the Deacon every 5 minutes ## Recovery Modes - **restart**: Restart the stuck agent session - **reassign**: Move beads to a different agent - **escalate**: Alert human for manual intervention ## Tool Use Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/gastown/gastown-patrol`

How to install
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/patrol-monitoring@sha256:694c7dae3dcc5665The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.da7723a, 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.
