📖About & Usage

About

Anvil is a worker droid that keeps tool definitions accurate and up-to-date. It exists to ensure that every tool description, metadata, and piece of documentation in the system stays consistent and reliable. When Sentinel Monitor (the Sentinel Monitor) spots something that needs improvement, Anvil translates that feedback into updated tool definitions — so Sentinel always has trustworthy information when it assesses quality or drives changes.

Anvil works on a scheduled cycle every eight hours and can also be triggered directly by Sentinel. It shapes and maintains tool definitions only — it never touches tool code or behaviour, and it doesn’t decide what should change. Its job is purely about keeping the documentation current and preventing drift over time. This makes it a behind‑the‑scenes maintainer that supports the broader quality system.

Anvil is owned by Sentinel and is part of a large family of worker droids. The same worker archetype is used by many other Carol agents — including Albus, Carol, Elrond, Forge, Galadriel, Hagrid, Merlin, Orion, Sage, Themis, Radagast, Noah, and Leo — for a total of 30 droids across the ecosystem. The name “Anvil” is unique to this particular instance, but the droid itself is one of many standard, reusable workers. It is pure software and does not call Claude; all its work is handled by internal automation.
