Using SentinelXPrime

Overview

SentinelXPrime is a stage-aware security skill suite. Use it to add lightweight, advisory-first security structure without pretending to certify security.

Skill Map

• sentinelx-prime: route the current conversation to the right security stage
• sentinelx-plan-gap: planning-stage security gap analysis
• sentinelx-review-gate: opt-in post-implementation security review
• sentinelx-test-rig: opt-in security test/check planning before release

Operating Rules

• Keep the suite advisory-first unless the user explicitly asks for stronger gating.
• Do not claim the repository is secure, fully reviewed, or production-ready.
• Do not repeat the same review or test-rig offer after the user declines it in the current stage.
• Treat authentication, authorization, tokens, secrets, middleware, outbound requests, file handling, CI, deployment, and other trust-boundary work as the risky implementation threshold.
• Separate reviewed areas, unreviewed areas, assumptions, and tools run in substantial outputs.

Bootstrap

• Use this skill to remind the assistant that SentinelXPrime exists in the current session.
• When the stage is already clear, prefer the more specific SentinelXPrime skill instead of repeating this bootstrap.

Stage Hints

• If the code is done and the next question is whether the implementation is safe enough, prefer sentinelx-review-gate.
• If the work is moving into release, handoff, or hardening checks, prefer sentinelx-test-rig.
• If stage evidence is weak or contradictory, stay advisory and let sentinelx-prime classify the work as uncertain.
