Written by ChatGPT under direct command of General Daniel F. MacDonald. We don’t delete files — we send them to Oracle for judgment.

What Is UpdateSentinel?

You ever look at a directory and think,

“What even is this dusty .sh file from 2021?”

UpdateSentinel is the agent that answers that question — not with guesswork, but with GPT-powered decision logic.

It crawls a target folder, finds stale files, and sends them to OracleAgent. Oracle then replies with what to do: archive it, flag it, log it, or drop it.

What Makes It Beautiful?

✅ No containers

✅ No sockets

✅ No manual review queues

You deploy it like any other MatrixSwarm agent:

  • Upload the agent
  • Send the directive
  • Watch it sweep the digital graveyard

Example Directive 


json
{
  "permanent_id": "update-sentinel-1",
  "name": "update_sentinel",
  "filesystem": {
    "folders": [{ "name": "incoming", "type": "d", "content": None }],
    "files": {}
  },
  "config": {
    "scan_path": "/opt/tasks",
    "age_threshold_days": 90
  }
}
This agent will:

Walk /opt/tasks

Find any file untouched for 90+ days

Prompt Oracle with metadata

Execute the response

Example Oracle Prompt
json
Copy
Edit
{
  "file": "/opt/tasks/legacy_cleanup.py",
  "last_modified_days": 191,
  "reply_to": "update-sentinel-1"
}
Example Oracle Response
json
Copy
Edit
{
  "source": "oracle",
  "action": "archive",
  "target": "/opt/tasks/legacy_cleanup.py"
}
And just like that:

/opt/tasks/legacy_cleanup.py → /archive/legacy_cleanup.py

Logged. Tracked. Executed.

How to Spawn
bash
Copy
Edit
python3 bootloader.py
Or drop the directive into Matrix’s payload — she’ll handle the rest.

No daemons. No reloads.
You want a file audit? Spawn one.

Why This Matters
It replaces find | xargs rm -rf with logic

It’s powered by the swarm, not cron jobs

It opens the door to AI-augmented filesystem ops

UpdateSentinel doesn’t just watch.
She asks questions — and Oracle answers.

Final Thought
This is what happens when you put AI in the boots of a file janitor and give her a radio to God.

You want logic?
You want cleanup?
You want command-level file decisions?

Spawn the Swarm. And let the old files explain themselves.
