sentinel-autofixer
Read a sentinel code review report, triage issues by severity, and apply
suggestion-level fixes in a single batch commit. Never auto-apply blocking issues.
Triage Rules
Sentinel reports contain three categories:
| Category | Action |
|---|
| Blocking | Surface to user — do NOT auto-apply. Require explicit instruction. |
| Suggestions | Apply automatically after dry-run confirmation. |
| Observations | Inform user — no action unless requested. |
Workflow
- Read the sentinel report from the current conversation or ask the user to paste it
- Extract all suggestion-level items
- Present a dry-run diff of proposed changes:
SUGGESTION 1: [description]
File: src/handler.rs:42
- old code
+ new code
- Ask: "Apply N suggestions? (yes/no/select)"
- If yes: apply all changes, run
cargo check --workspace to verify
- If select: apply only confirmed items
- Commit all applied fixes in one batch commit:
git add -A && git commit -m "fix: apply sentinel suggestion-level fixes"
Blocking Issues
When blocking issues are present, always surface them first:
"Sentinel found N blocking issue(s) that require manual review:
- [issue description] — [file:line]
These will NOT be auto-applied."
Do not proceed with suggestion fixes until the user acknowledges blocking issues.
After Applying
After committing, run cargo-gate to verify the workspace still builds cleanly.
Report any regressions introduced by the applied fixes.
Using the sentinel Agent
To generate a fresh sentinel report before auto-fixing, invoke the sentinel agent:
"Review [file or diff] for issues"
The sentinel agent will produce a structured report that this skill can consume.
