# Vaultfire Signal Shield v1.0

"We don't fight fire with fire — we forge shields from belief."

Vaultfire Signal Shield is a modular CLI that monitors online platforms for sentiment trends around Vaultfire initiatives. The tool calculates a Global Hostility Index, displays results locally, logs signals, suggests responses, and tracks user loyalty in a simple ledger.

## Key Modules
- **Signal Retrieval** – pulls posts from X/Twitter, Reddit, and other forums
- **Sentiment Engine** – classifies signals and computes the Global Hostility Index
- **Dashboard Output** – renders hostility data and sample posts on the console
- **Loyalty Ledger** – records supportive users for follow-up engagement
- **Response Suggestion** – proposes calming replies when hostility spikes

## Installation
1. Install Node.js and Python 3.10+
2. `npm install`
3. `pip install -r requirements.txt`

## Example Usage
```bash
# Run once from the repository root
npm run signal-shield

# or directly
node vaultfire_signal_shield/index.js
