Check a web page or feed for something worth telling the user about, remembering what was already reported so nothing repeats. Use when the user asks to watch, monitor, or check a URL for changes, new items, or a condition being met.
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
# Source Watch The generic watcher. Fetch a source, decide whether anything matches, suppress what was already reported, and say something only when there is news. Every other watcher in this pack is a fork of this one. ## Configure The user supplies these; ask for any that are missing before the first run. | Setting | Meaning | Example | |---|---|---| | Source | The URL to fetch | `https://example.com/releases` | | Match | What counts as interesting | "any version above 3.0" | | Memory key | Where seen items are recorded | `watch:example-releases` | ## Procedure 1. **Recall what was already reported.** `recall(query="<memory key>", limit=50)`. This is what stops the watcher telling the user the same thing every run. 2. **Fetch the source.** `fetch_page(url)`. If the fetch fails, report the failure and stop — an empty page is not "no news", and treating it as such is how a watcher silently dies. 3. **Extract the candidate items.** Titles, versions, prices, listings — whatever the source is a list of. Keep a stable identifier per item so step 4 can compare across runs. 4. **Apply the match**, then drop every item whose identifier already appeared in …

How to install
mdr add amd/gaia/source-watch@sha256:84d2cd21734681deThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
