name	sentry
description	Fetch and analyze Sentry issues, events, transactions, and logs. Helps agents debug errors, find root causes, and understand what happened at specific times.

Sentry Skill

Access Sentry data via the API for debugging and investigation. Uses auth token from ~/.sentryclirc.

Common Debugging Workflows

"What went wrong at this time?"

Find events around a specific timestamp:

# Find all events in a 2-hour window
./scripts/search-events.js --org myorg --project backend \
  --start 2025-12-23T15:00:00 --end 2025-12-23T17:00:00

# Filter to just errors
./scripts/search-events.js --org myorg --start 2025-12-23T15:00:00 \
  --level error

# Find a specific transaction type
./scripts/search-events.js --org myorg --start 2025-12-23T15:00:00 \
  --transaction process-incoming-email

"What errors have occurred recently?"

# List unresolved errors from last 24 hours
./scripts/list-issues.js --org myorg --status unresolved --level error --period 24h

# Find high-frequency issues
./scripts/list-issues.js --org myorg --query "times_seen:>50" --sort freq

# Issues affecting users
./scripts/list-issues.js --org myorg --query "is:unresolved has:user" --sort user

"Get details about a specific issue/event"

# Get issue with latest stack trace
./scripts/fetch-issue.js 5765604106 --latest
./scripts/fetch-issue.js https://sentry.io/organizations/myorg/issues/123/ --latest
./scripts/fetch-issue.js MYPROJ-123 --org myorg --latest

# Get specific event with all breadcrumbs
./scripts/fetch-event.js abc123def456 --org myorg --project backend --breadcrumbs

"Find events with a specific tag"

# Find by custom tag (e.g., thread_id, user_id)
./scripts/search-events.js --org myorg --tag thread_id:th_abc123

# Find by user email
./scripts/search-events.js --org myorg --query "user.email:*@example.com"

Tips for Debugging

1. Start broad, then narrow down: Use search-events.js with a time range first, then drill into specific events

2. Use breadcrumbs: The --breadcrumbs flag on fetch-event.js shows the full history of what happened before an error

3. Look for patterns: Use list-issues.js --sort freq to find frequently occurring problems

4. Check related events: If you find one event, look for others with the same transaction name or trace ID

5. Tags are your friend: Custom tags like thread_id, user_id, request_id help correlate events
