The Sentinel Protocol — Wiki

A reference architecture for emotionally-aware business automation.

This wiki is the engineering companion to the Sentinel Protocol repository. It expands the five-pillar architecture into implementable specifications: data flow, scoring models, schemas, prompt contracts, and deployment topology.

If you are new here, read in this order:

1. Design Philosophy — why the system is shaped the way it is, and where it deliberately departs from the original whitepaper
2. Architecture Overview — the full system, end to end
3. The Five Pillars — the conceptual map all other pages hang off of

Then go pillar by pillar, or jump straight to what you need using the map below.

What This Project Is, in One Paragraph

Most business automation is stateless: the same auto-reply goes to a client who just signed a six-figure deal and to someone asking for a discount. The Sentinel Protocol is an architecture for automation that carries context — urgency, sentiment, and the founder's own capacity to make good decisions right now — through every stage of handling a message, a negotiation, or a schedule. It is built on one non-negotiable constraint, stated in philosophy.md: Sentinel does not lie, to the founder or to the people the founder talks to.
