🛡️ Skill: Commit Sentinel (v2.1.0)

Executive Summary

The commit-sentinel is the guardian of repository health and historical clarity. In 2026, where AI agents generate thousands of lines of code daily, the role of the sentinel is critical to prevent "History Pollution" and "Type Decay." This skill enforces a rigorous 4-step validation protocol, promotes surgical history sculpting via rebasing, and leverages automated hooks to ensure that only elite-level code reaches the main branch.
