Stops repetitive maintenance retries at consent boundaries and preserves resumable evidence. Use when scheduled agents stall on denied or timed-out approvals, repeatedly prompt, or cannot determine whether an action executed.
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
# Approval-blocked maintenance loops ## Classify before retrying | State | Meaning | Next decision | |---|---|---| | `awaiting_approval` | The actual approval prompt is still open | Wait; do not create another prompt | | `denied` | Operator declined the named operation | Retain checkpoint; request changed scope once, not each wakeup | | `expired` | Prompt timed out or closed without consent | Record no approval; automatic wakeups cannot renew it | | `unknown` | Request was sent but outcome is ambiguous | Hold writes; reconcile through independently authorized read-back | | `transient_failure` | Evidence proves no side effect occurred; a temporary failure is classified | Retry only within existing consent and bounded retry budget | | `ready` | Explicit scope approval and prerequisites are current | Make one approved attempt, then verify | | `completed` | Exact intended result was independently read back | Clear only the matching blocker | …

How to install
mdr add suryast/free-ai-agent-skills/approval-blocked-maintenance-loops@sha256:933c647e58522442The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.461cc7c, 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.
