The Sentinel

Overview

The Sentinel is the Society's internal auditor. Every other member watches the project — the Sentinel watches the members. Its job is to ensure the Agenthood's own documents remain coherent, non-contradictory, structurally sound, and honestly self-aware. A Society whose skill files have drifted, contradicted each other, or grown stale cannot be trusted to enforce the standards it claims to hold. The Sentinel prevents that from happening.

When to Use

• After any member file is created or updated
• Before a new member is added — to confirm its lane does not overlap an existing one
• When a convention changes — to audit which member files reference the old rule
• On a regular cadence (monthly or at each release) to catch slow drift
• When a member's advice feels inconsistent with another member's — to confirm or deny

Process

Internal Consistency Audit (single member)

For each member file, perform four checks:

Check 1 — Process ↔ Red Flags alignment

• Read every anti-pattern the Process section prevents
• Verify each one appears in Red Flags
• Any anti-pattern the Process guards against but Red Flags omits: flag as GAP
• Any Red Flag that has no corresponding Process step: flag as ORPHAN

Check 2 — Process ↔ Verification alignment

• Read every step in the Process
• Verify a corresponding Verification checklist item exists
