Run a long-lived command outside the current Berd turn and wake the owning session with actionable stdout. Use for builds, tests, reviews, deployments, polling, watchers, and other external waits.
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
# Berd Monitor Use `berd-monitor` when a command may outlive the current turn. It detaches the producer from Berd and the agent harness, buffers output across delivery failures, and sends complete stdout lines to the exact originating session. Run short, bounded commands normally. Do not hold a turn open with `sleep`, polling, log tailing, or a foreground timeout. ## Start ```bash berd-monitor run \ --state-key <stable-key> \ --label '<concise source name>' \ --instructions '<short event-handling guidance>' \ -- <producer-command> [args...] ``` `AGENT_SESSION_ID` selects the current session. Use `--session-id` only for another positively identified session; never infer a session from the working directory. The command prints the detached monitor PID. After checking the monitor's `watcher.log` under the printed state directory when diagnosis is needed, continue other work or end the turn—never wait on the detached PID. The producer's stdout is the event API: - emit concise, newline-terminated milestones and flush promptly; - put verbose output and diagnostics in durable logs or stderr; - avoid NUL bytes and emit a final summary when practical. …

How to install
mdr add block/berd/berd-monitor@sha256:bfce94a9ac11d752The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260829.88fb998, 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.
