Continuously track the web for changes on a recurring cadence. Use when the user asks to 'monitor', 'track changes to', 'watch', or 'alert me when' something on the web changes — e.g., 'Track price changes for iPhone 16', 'Alert me when Tesla files a new 8-K', 'Monitor competitor pricing pages weekly'. Also use to list, inspect, update, or stop existing monitors, including requests to delete them.
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
# Web Monitor Action: $ARGUMENTS > Requires `parallel-cli` ≥ 0.4.0 for the GA Monitor commands. If a Monitor command or option is missing, tell the user to update through their installation method (see <https://docs.parallel.ai/integrations/cli>), then retry. ## What this skill does Monitors are long-running, server-side jobs that re-check the web on a cadence and emit events when something changes. Unlike search/research/findall (one-shot lookups), monitors persist until cancelled and can optionally deliver detected events through a webhook. Creation does not establish an ongoing agent notification service: explain how to read server-side events or use the configured webhook, without promising chat or email alerts. The default type is `event_stream`, with frequency `1d` and server processor `lite`. A `snapshot` monitor requires an existing Task run ID. Create or modify only the resource requested by the user; do not create a monitor just to demonstrate the skill. ## Decide the action Parse the user's request and pick one: | Intent | Action | |---|---| | "Track / watch / monitor / alert me when X" | **create** | | "What am I monitoring?" / "List monitors" | **list** | …

How to install
mdr add parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills/parallel-monitor@sha256:b18f09ceaec9f302The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.8fc1fc4, 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.
