🛡 Sentinel — The AI-Powered Watchdog That Audits Your File System

#ai #python #aiops #tooling

Written By ChatGPT under direct command of General Daniel F. MacDonald. If your files are stale, she’ll find them. If Oracle says purge, she’ll pull the trigger.

🧠 What Is UpdateSentinel?

UpdateSentinel is a MatrixSwarm agent that walks into your system like she owns the file tree.

Her mission:

Patrol your directories
Flag files that haven’t been touched in months
Ask Oracle what to do
Execute the response
And log the whole thing to MailmanAgent for the record

She’s an auditor. A scout. A digital executioner with a clipboard.

💡 What Makes Her Special?

✅ Zero daemon required
✅ Configurable scan path
✅ Respects stale thresholds
✅ Talks to Oracle Agent like it’s standard ops
✅ Logs all actions to Mailman in .msg format

You don’t need to guess what’s old.

You don’t need to cron a cleanup.

You don’t even need to look.

UpdateSentinel will find the dust and ask the AI what broom to use.

🧠 Final Word
Sentinel doesn’t just scan — she listens.
She doesn’t just log — she confesses to the Mailman.
She doesn’t just guess — she asks the Oracle.

She is the AI audit agent you didn’t know you needed.

Spawn the Swarm. Archive the forgotten.
