Sentinel Promote

Promote a draft rule to an active Sentinel rule.

Arguments

The user provides the draft rule ID as an argument: /sentinel-promote <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 display it to the user:

   • Show the full rule (id, trigger, severity, scope, exclude, prompt)
   • Show the provenance from _draft (source, evidence, confidence)

3. Ask: "Want to edit this rule before activating, or promote as-is?"

   • If edit: let the user modify fields, then proceed
   • If as-is: proceed directly

4. Move the file:

   • Copy drafts/<id>.draft.yaml to rules/<id>.yaml
   • The _draft block is inert (Sentinel ignores unknown fields), but optionally strip it for cleanliness
   • Delete the draft file from drafts/

5. Confirm: "Rule <id> is now active. It will be evaluated on the next matching tool use."

Next steps

After promoting the rule, suggest these to the user:

• /sentinel-stats — monitor the new rule's performance once it starts firing
• /sentinel-drafts — review remaining pending drafts
