recipe-persistent-monitor from tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/recipe-persistent-monitor@v2.0Pins v2.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Full recipe for a persistent monitoring agent with heartbeats, daily cron reports, webhook triggers, daily token budgets, and graceful shutdown.
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
# Recipe: Persistent Monitor
## What this builds
A long-running monitoring agent that fires a heartbeat every 30 minutes (adaptive — skips if nothing to do), generates a daily report every weekday at 9am, accepts webhook events from external services, and enforces daily token and cost budgets. Shuts down gracefully on SIGINT/SIGTERM.
## Skills loaded by this recipe
- `gateway-persistent-agents` — heartbeat, cron, webhook, policy configuration
- `tool-creation` — allowedTools
- `cost-budget-enforcement` — daily token budget and cost limits
- `observability-instrumentation` — normal verbosity for production
## Complete implementation
```ts
import { ReactiveAgents } from "@reactive-agents/runtime";
const agent = await ReactiveAgents.create()
.withName("ops-monitor")
.withProvider("anthropic")
.withReasoning({
defaultStrategy: "reactive",
maxIterations: 8, // keep iterations short for monitoring tasks
})
.withTools({
allowedTools: ["web-search", "http-get", "checkpoint", "final-answer"],
})
.withGateway({
timezone: "America/New_York",
heartbeat: {
intervalMs: 30 * 60 * 1_000, // check every 30 minutes

How to install
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/recipe-persistent-monitor@sha256:8d0a25a7385a7267The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, 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.
