What it does
Sentinel Design is an agent skill from Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers. Use when designing, reviewing, or classifying an agent that guards the human — defines the sentinel category, the three-part signature (S1 read-only, S2 advisory-to-human, S3 explicit honesty rule), the near-miss gallery that explains why read-only-plus-advisory is not sufficient, the honesty-rule-before-detection-logic discipline, and the three anti-patterns that eject an agent from the category
Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering File uploads and storage. The repository describes itself as: A set of Claude Code and GitHub Copilot plugins providing the AI Literacy framework's complete development workflow — harness engineering, agent orchestration, literate….
When your agent uses it
- Classifying an agent that guards the human — defines the sentinel category
- The three-part signature (S1 read-only
- S2 advisory-to-human
- S3 explicit honesty rule)
Example prompts
- “/sentinel-design”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Scores the human. A sentinel reports proxies and precautions; it
- Persists a record of the human's state. The reservoir-warden has
- Gates automatically. A sentinel feeds an existing human gate; it
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d35995. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Sentinel Design loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,261 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,261 words (~3,830 tokens).
“Most agents in this plugin act on an artefact. The spec-writer edits a spec, the tdd-agent writes tests, the integration-agent commits and merges, the harness-gc rewrites stale documentation. Their object of care is a thing in the repository, and you…”

When should I use Sentinel Design?
Sentinel Design fits situations like: classifying an agent that guards the human — defines the sentinel category; the three-part signature (S1 read-only; S2 advisory-to-human; S3 explicit honesty rule).
How do I install Sentinel Design in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers --skill sentinel-design -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (ai-literacy-superpowers/skills/sentinel-design in Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers) into .claude/skills/sentinel-design in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Sentinel Design in Codex?
Run `npx skills add Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers --skill sentinel-design -a codex`.

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Sentinel Design in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers --skill sentinel-design -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/sentinel-design, .gemini/skills/sentinel-design, .github/skills/sentinel-design and .opencode/skills/sentinel-design in your project.
What does Sentinel Design need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Sentinel Design needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
Does Sentinel Design access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

How many tokens does Sentinel Design use?
About 3.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 15k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
