Check progress for a detached KERMT run (pretrain, finetune, or any kermt_run_detached invocation). Reads run.json, queries docker for container state, tails the pretrain/finetune log, and parses progress lines (epoch, step, val loss).
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
# kermt-monitor Companion skill for any KERMT workflow that runs detached: the three pretrain skills (`kermt-continue-pretrain`, `kermt-pretrain-scratch`, `kermt-add-cmim-pretrain`) plus `kermt-finetune`. `kermt-infer` and `kermt-embed` run blocking by default and don't need this skill, but if a user launches them detached on purpose the monitor still works (the workflow-dispatch in step 4 handles unknown workflows by tailing the most-recent log file in the run dir). Reads the run directory's `run.json`, queries docker for the container's state, surfaces the latest progress, and either tails or follows the log. ## Hardware requirements None. This skill only reads disk + queries docker; no GPU compute. ## Inputs One of: - `<run-dir>` — a positional argument pointing at the directory containing `run.json` (e.g. `runs/continue-pretrain_2026-05-17T10-23Z`). Preferred. - `--container <name-or-id>` — direct container reference; the skill still reads `run.json` from the run dir referenced inside the container's inspect output if available, but works degraded-mode without it. Optional: - `--lines N` — number of trailing log lines to print (default 50). …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/kermt-monitor@sha256:c2da2d920ad8d24dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.2cd3507, 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.
