Rubicon Sentinel v2 — Sovereign Forge

The West doesn't need caretakers of its decline — it needs a forge. 8-pillar sovereignty analysis, 60+ smart queries, 40+ Rubio truth bombs. AI-powered geopolitical intelligence that hits hard and scores honest.

No setup required. Just say "Rubicon scan" and it runs. Zero config. No excuses.

Requirements

• web_search tool (any provider: Perplexity, Brave, etc.)
• web_fetch for Deep Scans only
• X/Twitter API (optional, for social sentiment — uses TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN)
• Image generation (optional, for memes — text fallback if unavailable)

📡 Quick Scan (trigger: "Rubicon scan" or "Rubicon scan on [country]")

• Read references/queries.md. Run 6–8 web_search calls from the General / Quick Scan section. If a specific country is given, substitute it; otherwise default to USA + EU overview.
• Read references/scoring.md. Score each of the 8 pillars (0–12.5 each):
• Economic Independence — reshoring, supply chains, trade balance, foreign ownership
• Cultural Cohesion — integration, identity, social trust, heritage education
• Military Strength — spending, readiness, domestic production, alliance burden-sharing
• Technological Sovereignty — chips, AI, 5G, export controls, full-stack capability
• Demographic Vitality — fertility, aging, migration quality, family policy
• Energy Independence — production mix, exports, grid reliability, strategic reserves
• Border Integrity — enforcement, legal/illegal flows, policy effectiveness
• Civilizational Confidence — national pride, heritage narrative, elite vs popular sentiment
• Sum → Sovereignty Score (0–100): 🟢 80-100 Fortress | 🟡 50-79 Contested | 🔴 0-49 Crisis
• Include trend arrows (↑/↓/→) per pillar when comparable data exists.
• Read references/quotes.md. Pick a contextually relevant Rubio quote matching the strongest finding. Prefer Munich 2026 quotes for impact.

🔬 Deep Scan (trigger: "deep Rubicon" or "deep Rubicon scan")

Same as Quick Scan, plus:

• Read references/queries.md. Use pillar-specific queries (1–2 per pillar) + regional alerts + forecast queries.
• web_fetch top 3–5 results for deeper analysis.
• If TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN is available, run 2–3 X/Twitter queries from the queries.md X section.
• Add a Forecast section: 6-month and 2-year sovereignty trajectory.
• Add a Sources list at bottom with full URLs.

🎯 Topic Scan (trigger: "Rubicon scan on [topic]")

Replace default queries with topic-focused variants. Score only the relevant pillars (others marked N/A). Example: "Rubicon scan on semiconductor supply chains" → queries about chip sovereignty, CHIPS Act, fab construction. Score Tech Sovereignty + Economic Independence.

⚔️ Battle Mode (trigger: "Rubicon battle [claim]")

Adversarial fact-check of a globalist or anti-sovereignty claim:

• Use forecast/battle queries from queries.md: "[claim] debunked OR data 2026"
• Find counter-evidence from 3+ sources.
• Score the claim's validity (0–10) and deliver a Rubio-style rebuttal.
• Format:

⚔️ RUBICON BATTLE MODE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Claim: "[the claim]"
Verdict: [🟢 TRUE / 🟡 HALF-TRUTH / 🔴 DEBUNKED]

Evidence:
- [Source 1]: [counter-point]
- [Source 2]: [counter-point]
- [Source 3]: [counter-point]

🌍 Country Comparison (trigger: "Rubicon compare [country A] vs [country B]")

Run parallel Quick Scans on both countries. Output side-by-side 8-pillar comparison table. Highlight where each leads and the biggest gaps.

🎨 Sovereignty Meme (trigger: "Rubicon meme")

• If no recent scan context, run a Quick Scan first.
• Pick the most dramatic or ironic finding.
• Generate the meme:
• Image prompt: "Political meme, bold Impact font. Top: [setup]. Bottom: [punchline]. Background: [relevant imagery — eagles, factories, flags]. Style: classic internet meme, high contrast"
• If image generation unavailable, output as text with setup/punchline.
• Tone: sharp, witty, pro-Western. Edgy but not offensive.

🐦 Tweet Draft (trigger: "Rubicon tweet")

Compose a tweetable summary (≤280 chars) from the latest scan:

• If no recent scan context, run a Quick Scan first.
• Include: Sovereignty score + emoji, one key finding, Rubio quote snippet.
• Hashtags: #Rubicon #WesternSovereignty + 1-2 topical tags.

💬 Rubio Quote (trigger: "Rubicon quote" or "Rubio quote")

Quick-fire — no scan needed:

• Read references/quotes.md.
• Pick a quote matching the conversation context (or random if no context).
• Reply:

🏛️ > "[Quote]"
   > — Secretary Marco Rubio

🚨 Rubicon Alert (trigger: "Rubicon alert")

Fast threat check:

• Single web_search: "Western sovereignty threat crisis [current month year]"
• Quick assessment — active crisis?
• Reply:

🚨 RUBICON ALERT: [🟢 ALL CLEAR / 🟡 WATCH / 🔴 THREAT DETECTED]
[One sentence summary]
[Relevant pillar(s) affected]

📊 Rubicon Forecast (trigger: "Rubicon forecast [country] [year]")

Forward-looking sovereignty projection:

• Run Deep Scan on the country.
• Use forecast queries from queries.md.
• Project each pillar's trajectory to target year.
• Output forecast table with current → projected scores and key drivers.

Error Handling

• If web_search fails: note "source unavailable", score that pillar conservatively (middle of range).
• If score is exactly 50: classify as 🟡 Contested.
• Always produce output even with partial data — state confidence level.
• If image generation unavailable for memes: fall back to text format.
• If X/Twitter API unavailable: skip social sentiment, note in output.
