sentry-create-alert

The sentry-create-alert skill enables automated creation of Sentry alerts through the workflow engine API. This skill solves the problem of manual alert configuration by providing a programmatic interface to set up notifications and workflow automations for issue tracking and incident management. It leverages Sentry's beta workflow engine to create sophisticated alerting rules that respond to various issue lifecycle events.

This skill supports multiple notification channels including email, Slack, PagerDuty, and Discord, allowing teams to receive alerts through their preferred communication platforms. It provides fine-grained control over alert triggers based on issue events (first seen, regression, reappeared, resolved) and supports complex filtering conditions such as issue priority thresholds, de-escalation detection, event frequency counts, tag matching, assignment status, severity levels, and issue age. The skill handles the complete alert creation workflow from gathering configuration details to resolving entity IDs and constructing the appropriate API payload.

This skill is designed for DevOps engineers, SREs, and development teams who need to establish consistent alerting patterns across Sentry projects. It's particularly valuable for organizations implementing priority-based escalation workflows, setting up automated de-escalation alerts, or building custom notification routing based on issue characteristics. The skill streamlines what would otherwise require manual API interaction and JSON payload construction into a guided, interactive process.
