Sentinel Dismiss

Dismiss a draft rule and add it to the blocklist so Scribe won't re-propose it.

Arguments

The user provides the draft rule ID as an argument: /sentinel-dismiss <id>

Steps

1. Look for .claude/sentinel/drafts/<id>.draft.yaml

   • If not found, list available drafts and ask the user to pick one

2. Read the draft YAML and show a brief summary:

   • id, trigger, scope, and the evidence that generated it

3. Confirm: "Dismiss this draft? Scribe won't propose rules with the same scope and trigger again."

   • If user confirms, proceed
   • If user cancels, stop

4. Add to blocklist by running:

from sentinel_scribe import add_dismissal
# Extract scope (first pattern) and trigger from the draft
add_dismissal(scribe_dir, scope, trigger, statement)

Or equivalently, append to .sentinel/scribe/dismissed.jsonl:

{"scope": "<first scope pattern>", "trigger": "<trigger>", "statement_hash": "<hash>", "dismissed_at": "<iso timestamp>"}

5. Delete drafts/<id>.draft.yaml

6. Confirm: "Draft <id> dismissed. Scribe won't re-propose rules for this scope and trigger."

Next steps

After dismissing the draft, suggest to the user:

• /sentinel-drafts — review remaining pending drafts
• /sentinel-rule — create a rule manually if the dismissed draft was close but needed a different approach
