Provider aware
Sentinel resolves a provider (local, GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) so plugins can read pull request metadata and diff information.
What is Sentinel?
Lint everything but your code.
Sentinel is a small CLI that automates non-code checks for pull requests. It loads your plugins, inspects the diff from the active provider, and posts a single comment with a structured report.
Plugin driven
Plugins implement optional setup and run hooks to prepare resources and emit
messages via the shared reporter.
Single report
The runner aggregates messages from every plugin and posts one Markdown summary to the provider.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- The CLI loads
sentinel.config.tsorsentinel.config.jsfrom the current working directory. - It resolves the provider (defaulting to
local) and loads any configured plugins. - Each plugin runs against the pull request diff and metadata and uses the shared reporter to add info, warnings, or failures.
- Sentinel compiles the collected messages into a Markdown summary and posts it back through the provider.
Resources
Section titled “Resources”- Follow the Getting started guide to build and run Sentinel locally.
- Read the Configuration reference for provider options and plugin shapes.
