Quickstart

First chat in under two minutes.

1 · Chat

bash
sentinel

Type a question, Sentinel streams the answer. Tool calls run in-process and stream back into context.

2 · One-shot from scripts and CI

bash
sentinel ask "why is this test failing?"
sentinel ask -b "fix the typo in src/index.js"    # BUILD mode: may edit files

3 · Local models

bash
ollama serve
sentinel    # auto-discovers installed models

Cost control

Default model is a free-tier model (openai/gpt-oss-20b via Groq). Every run prints in/out tokens · $ · model; -q silences it.
