About sentry-feature-setup
The sentry-feature-setup skill is a routing and navigation skill that helps users configure advanced Sentry capabilities beyond basic SDK installation. It acts as a decision tree to direct users to the appropriate specialized skill based on their monitoring and observability needs. Rather than implementing features directly, this skill identifies which specific Sentry feature the user wants to configure and provides the correct path to access detailed setup instructions.
This skill covers five major feature areas: AI/LLM monitoring for tracking calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, and other AI SDKs; OpenTelemetry Collector integration for multi-service telemetry routing; alert and notification setup for workflow automation with Slack, PagerDuty, and Discord; span streaming migration for moving from transaction-based to streamed span delivery in JavaScript and Python; and instrumentation guidance for deciding which signal type (error, span, log, or metric) to use for different scenarios.
This skill is designed for developers and DevOps engineers who have already completed basic Sentry SDK setup and need to enable specific monitoring features. It prevents users from guessing which documentation to follow by asking clarifying questions upfront and providing exact curl commands to fetch the correct skill files. The emphasis on not skipping the decision logic ensures users reach the right configuration instructions without trial and error, saving time and reducing setup mistakes.
FAQ
When should I use this skill instead of the basic Sentry SDK setup?
Use this skill after you've completed basic SDK installation and need to configure specific features like AI monitoring, OpenTelemetry pipelines, alerts, or span streaming. If you haven't set up the Sentry SDK yet, start with the basic setup first.
How do I know which feature skill to use?
The skill provides a decision tree based on keywords in your request. Mention AI/LLM for AI monitoring, OpenTelemetry for OTel setup, alerts/notifications for alert creation, span streaming for migration tasks, or signal selection for instrumentation guidance. If unsure, the skill will ask clarifying questions.
Can I use this skill for multiple Sentry features at once?
This is a router skill that directs you to one specialized skill at a time. For multiple features, you'll need to fetch and follow each relevant skill separately using the provided curl commands and paths.
Why does the skill emphasize using curl instead of letting tools fetch the content?
The skill files are 10-20 KB and contain critical implementation details. Automated tools often summarize or truncate content, losing important configuration steps, code examples, and edge cases that are essential for correct setup.
What languages and frameworks are supported for span streaming?
Span streaming is currently supported for JavaScript and Python, with separate skills for each language. The skill routes you to sentry-span-streaming-js or sentry-span-streaming-python based on your stack.
