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

# CI Hound

Continuously monitor GitHub Actions workflows with a zero-token ETag-cached background daemon, alert on `main` failures, repair broken builds in isolated git worktrees, and optimize slow or flaky workflows.

## Commands & Modes

| Invocation | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `/ci-hound [--merge=approval\|auto]` | Start the background daemon (`scripts/ci-hound-daemon.mjs`) in an async shell to watch the configured repository watchlist (or active repo) for `main` failures, harvest telemetry, and deliver fixes via `go` / `pr`. |
| `/ci-hound setup ...` | Configure which repositories `ci-hound` watches across sessions (`--all-my-repos --visibility private`, `--owner <login> --visibility <all\|private\|public>`, `--repos <owner/repo,...>`, `--add-repo <owner/repo>`, `--remove-repo <owner/repo>`, `--worktree-root <path>`, `--merge <approval\|auto>`). |
| `/ci-hound status` | Run a single delta poll across all watched repositories and display health, active runs, ETag 304 cache efficiency, and top slow/failing steps. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongio/skills/ci-hound@sha256:5c05f554a5d51d73

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
