Create a Sentry SDK Skill Bundle Produce a complete, research backed SDK skill bundle — a main wizard SKILL.md plus deep dive reference files for every feature pillar the SDK supports. Invoke This Skill When Asked to "create a Sentry SDK skill" for a new platform Asked to "add support for [language/framework]" to sentry agent skills Building a new sentry <platform sdk skill bundle Porting the SDK skill pattern to a new Sentry SDK Read ${SKILL ROOT}/references/philosophy.md first — it defines the bundle architecture, wizard flow, and design principles this skill implements. Phase 1: Identify the SDK Determine what you're building a skill for: Establish the feature matrix — which Sentry pillars does this SDK support? Pillar Check docs Notes Error Monitoring Always available Non negotiable baseline Tracing/Performance Usually available Check for span API Profiling Varies May be removed or experimental Logging Newer feature Check minimum version Metrics Newer feature May be beta/experimental Crons Backend only Not available for frontend SDKs Session Replay Frontend only Not available for backend SDKs AI Monitoring Some SDKs Usually JS + Python only Reference existing SDK skills to understand the target quality level: Phase 2: Research This is the most critical phase. Skill quality depends entirely on accurate, current API knowledge. Do NOT write skills from memory — research every feature against official docs. Research Strategy Spin off parallel research tasks (using the claude tool with outputFile ) — one per feature area. Each task should: 1. Visit the official Sentry docs pages for that feature 2. Visit the SDK's GitHub repo for source level API verification 3. Write thorough findings to a dedicated research file Read ${SKILL ROOT}/references/research playbook.md for the detailed research execution plan, including prompt templates and file naming conventions. Research the Sentry Wizard Before diving into feature research, check whether the Sentry wizard CLI supports this framework: If a wizard integration exists: 1. Document the exact wizard command and i flag 2. Document what the wizard creates/modifies (files, config, build plugins) 3. Note that the wizard handles authentication interactively — login, org/project selection, and auth token creation/download all happen automatically 4. Note whether the wizard sets up source map upload — this is critical for frontend SDKs 5. This will become "Option 1: Wizard (Recommended)" in Phase 3 of the generated skill Why this matters: The wizard handles the entire auth flow (login, org/project selection, auth token) and source map upload configuration automatically. Without source maps, production stack traces show minified code — making Sentry nearly useless for frontend debugging. And without the auth token, source maps can't be uploaded at all. The wizard is the most reliable way to get both right in a single step. Research Batching Batch research tasks by topic area. Run them in parallel where possible: Batch Topics Output file 1 Setup, configuration, all init options, framework detection research/<sdk setup config.md 2 Error monitoring, panic/exception capture, scopes, enrichment research/<sdk error monitoring.md 3 Tracing, profiling (if supported) research/<sdk tracing profiling.md 4 Logging, metrics, crons (if supported) research/<sdk logging metrics crons.md 5 Session replay (frontend only), AI monitoring (if supported) research/<sdk replay ai.md Important: Tell each research task to write its output to a file ( outputFile parameter). Do NOT consume research results inline — they're large (500–1200 lines each). Workers will read them from disk later. Research Quality Gate Before proceeding, verify each research file: Has actual content (not just Claude's process notes) Contains code examples with real API names Includes minimum SDK versions Covers framework specific variations Re run any research task that produced fewer than 100 lines — it likely failed silently. Phase 3: Create the Main SKILL.md The main SKILL.md implements the four phase wizard from the philosophy doc. Keep it focused — the main file should cover the wizard flow, quick start config, framework tables, and reference dispatch. Deep dive details for individual features belong in references/ files, not here. Be thorough but not redundant. Gather Context First Before writing, run a scout or read existing skills to understand conventions: Frontmatter pattern (name, description, license) "Invoke This Skill When" trigger phrases Table formatting and code example style Troubleshooting table conventions SKILL.md Structure Key Principles for the Main SKILL.md 1. Keep it lean — deep details go in references, not here 2. Wizard first for framework SDKs — if the Sentry wizard supports this framework, present it as "Option 1: Wizard (Recommended)" before any manual setup. The wizard handles the full auth flow (login, org/project selection, auth token creation), source map upload, build tool plugins, and framework specific wiring — all in one interactive step. See ${SKILL ROOT}/references/philosophy.md for the full pattern. 3. Source maps are non negotiable for frontend/mobile — the manual setup path must include source map upload configuration (build tool plugin + env vars). Without source maps, production stack traces are unreadable minified code. 4. Detection commands must be real — test them against actual projects 5. Recommendation logic must be opinionated — "always", "when X detected", not "maybe consider" 6. Quick Start config should enable the most features with sensible defaults 7. Framework middleware table — exact import paths, middleware calls, and quirks 8. Cross link aggressively — if Go backend, suggest frontend. If Svelte frontend, suggest backend. Phase 4: Create Reference Files One reference file per feature pillar the SDK supports. These are deep dives — they can be longer than the main SKILL.md. Reference File Structure What Makes a Good Reference Read ${SKILL ROOT}/references/quality checklist.md for the full quality rubric. Key points: Working code examples — not pseudo code, not truncated snippets Tables for config options — type, default, minimum version One complete example per pattern — don't show 5 variations of the same thing Framework specific notes — call out when behavior differs between frameworks Minimum SDK version at the top — always Honest about limitations — if a feature was removed (like Go profiling), say so Feature Specific Guidance Feature Key things to cover Error Monitoring Capture APIs, panic/exception recovery, scopes, enrichment (tags/user/breadcrumbs), error chains, BeforeSend, fingerprinting Tracing Sample rates, custom spans, distributed tracing, framework middleware, operation types Profiling Sample rate config, how it attaches to traces, or honest "removed/not available" Logging Enable flag, logger API, integration with popular logging libraries, filtering Metrics Counter/gauge/distribution APIs, units, attributes, best practices for cardinality Crons Check in API, monitor config, schedule types, heartbeat patterns Session Replay Replay integration, sample rates, privacy masking, canvas/network recording Note for frontend/mobile SDKs: Source map upload configuration belongs in the main SKILL.md (Phase 3: Guide), not in a reference file. It's part of the core setup flow — every frontend production deployment needs it. Cover the build tool plugin, the required env vars ( SENTRY AUTH TOKEN , SENTRY ORG , SENTRY PROJECT ), and add .env to .gitignore . Phase 5: Verify Everything Do NOT skip this phase. SDK APIs change frequently. Research can hallucinate. Workers can fabricate config keys. API Verification Run a dedicated verification pass against the SDK's actual source code: Things that commonly go wrong: Config option names with wrong casing ( SendDefaultPii vs SendDefaultPII ) Fabricated config keys that don't exist ( experimental.tracing — verify it's real) Deprecated APIs used instead of modern replacements ( configureScope → getIsolationScope ) Features listed as available when they've been removed (profiling in Go SDK) Wrong minimum version numbers Review Pass Run a reviewer on the complete skill bundle: Technical accuracy of code examples Consistency between main SKILL.md and reference files Consistency with existing SDK skills in the repo Agent Skills spec compliance (frontmatter, naming) Fix Review Findings Triage by priority: P0 : Misleading claims (advertising removed features) — fix immediately P1 : Incorrect APIs, deprecated methods — fix before merge P2 : Style inconsistencies, version nitpicks — fix if quick P3 : Skip Phase 6: Register and Update Docs After the skill passes review: 1. Update README.md — add to the SDK Skills table 2. Update AGENTS.md — if the philosophy doc or skill categories section needs it 3. Add usage examples — trigger phrases in the Usage section 4. Document the bundle pattern — if this is a new SDK, note the references/ structure Commit Strategy Each major piece gets its own commit: 1. feat(<platform sdk): add sentry <platform sdk main SKILL.md wizard 2. feat(<platform sdk): add reference deep dives for all feature pillars 3. docs(readme): add sentry <platform sdk to available skills 4. fix(skills): address review findings (if any) Checklist Before declaring the skill complete: [ ] Philosophy doc read and followed [ ] All feature pillars researched from official docs (not from memory) [ ] Research files verified (real content, correct APIs, 100 lines each) [ ] Main SKILL.md is focused — wizard flow + quick start + reference dispatch; deep dives in references [ ] Main SKILL.md implements all 4 wizard phases [ ] Wizard CLI checked — if supported, presented as "Option 1: Wizard (Recommended)" with auth flow + source map benefits described [ ] Source map / debug symbol upload covered in manual setup path (frontend/mobile SDKs) [ ] Reference file for each supported feature pillar [ ] APIs verified against SDK source code [ ] Review pass completed, findings addressed [ ] Profiling/removed features honestly documented (not advertised) [ ] Cross links to companion frontend/backend skills [ ] README.md updated [ ] All commits polished with descriptive messages
