sentinel

Computer-vision problem solver. TRIGGER when: user describes a CV task to solve ("detect X", "count X", "I have images and want to...", "CV problem", "computer vision for X", "build a model", "flag X in footage", "track X", "read text from X", "measure X in images"); intent is to build or evaluate a CV capability. SKIP when: user asks an economics-only question about annotation cost, training cost, deployment cost, or scale with no unsolved build problem in play (route to economics-consultant); user asks a pure Roboflow platform how-to question with an already-working model; user invokes `$estimate-economics` in Codex or `/sentinel:estimate-economics` in Claude Code (economics-consultant handles it).

Computer-vision economics consultant. TRIGGER when: user invokes `$estimate-economics` in Codex or `/sentinel:estimate-economics` in Claude Code, asks for annotation or labeling cost, training cost, managed vs self-hosted cost, build-vs-buy, scale economics, deployment crossover, or selected the "managed at scale" / "deploy to a managed endpoint" branch from the build-flow seam offer. SKIP when: user is still in build work with no working PoC in play, including requests to build a detector, detect damaged boxes, count objects, read text, track people, or use sample images (route to cv-problem-solver); user asks a pure platform how-to question; user has not yet reached a passing eval on their problem unless they explicitly accept a rough estimate.

Connect or troubleshoot Sentinel's URL-only Roboflow MCP sign-in. TRIGGER when: the user asks to connect Roboflow, sign in, authorize OAuth, configure the plugin, or diagnose unavailable/unauthorized Roboflow MCP tools; the user asks whether a Roboflow API key is required for plugin installation. SKIP when: Roboflow MCP tools already work; the task is purely local, such as discussing a labeling approach for raw footage, and needs no Roboflow operation; a generated standalone client needs credentials (delegate its exact auth shape to the current official Roboflow API/inference skill).

Run an offline Sentinel package doctor and separate local installation defects from host enablement or Roboflow sign-in problems. TRIGGER when: the user asks to check, verify, diagnose, or troubleshoot a Sentinel plugin installation; run the setup doctor; find missing skills, packaged files, or Roboflow tools; or confirm Sentinel installed correctly. SKIP when: Sentinel and Roboflow work and the user wants to count boxes or solve a CV task; the package is healthy but OAuth/sign-in alone failed (auth-setup); or the request is deployment economics/crossover only (estimate-economics).

Produce one whole-image verdict: pass/fail, category, compliance, or anomaly. TRIGGER when: user asks whether an image is defective/compliant; to flag bad parts, classify product images, run image-level quality control, detect an anomaly, or build binary/multi-class classification. SKIP when: user asks how many boxes/pallets or for other object counts or per-person PPE (detect-and-analyze); masks/area (segment-and-analyze); identity across video (track-and-count); OCR/codes (read-text); to compare self-hosting vs managed or cost only (estimate-economics); or delivery/export of a working classifier (deliver-cv-project).

Generate a portable stakeholder decision report for a CV deployment decision. TRIGGER when: user explicitly asks for a decision report, manager report, or stakeholder doc after a cost crossover has been computed; phrases: "write me a decision report", "generate a report for my manager", "I need a stakeholder doc", "produce the decision doc", "decision-report skill", "report for my team". SKIP when: no cost crossover exists yet — estimate-economics must run first and deliver a crossover number; user is still in build work; user wants a one-paragraph summary (answer inline instead).

Decompose a complex vision-and-reasoning requirement into the cheapest measurable pipeline. TRIGGER when: user asks to monitor/alert, analyze footage over time, combine perception with aggregation/reporting, determine whether something is feasible to detect (including sensor limits or smoldering), or replace repeated vision-language calls with a cheaper system. SKIP when: the request is single-frame detection/counting (detect-and-analyze), whole-image classification (classify-or-flag), deployment cost only (estimate-economics), or the pipeline is already working and needs delivery (deliver-cv-project).
