Start a recurring release-gatekeeper loop — runs /release-manager on an adaptive cadence (fast when something is in flight, backing off when settled) until end of day. Prompts to push / defer / cancel as services become ready; runs attended.
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
# Watch Release
Start a `/release-manager` loop that runs until 18:00 local time, **pacing itself adaptively**:
checking again soon (~3 min) while a push is mid-rollout or CI is running, and backing off
(10 → 30 min) once everything is settled. Intended for a dedicated kitty tab during parallel work
— it keeps an eye on git/CI/deploy state and prompts you when something is ready to ship, without
burning a tick every 10 minutes when nothing is happening.
## Usage
```
/watch-release # adaptive cadence, stop at 18:00 (default)
/watch-release 17 # adaptive, stop at 17:00
/watch-release 10m # FIXED 10-minute interval, stop at 18:00
/watch-release 5m 17 # fixed 5m, stop at 17:00
```
Adaptive is the default. Pass an explicit `\d+m` interval only when you deliberately want a fixed
cadence (e.g. demoing, or a tab you glance at on a known rhythm).
## Execution telemetry
Only for a normal valid execution request, not when reading this file as context, record once:
```text
~/.agents/skills/watch-telemetry/scripts/watch_telemetry.py record watch-release {harness} invocation
```
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/watch-release@sha256:50a5d41b495c0d9bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.1, 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.
