Our assessment of sentry
sentry scores 94/100 on our quality scale, 185th of 1,937 Development & Engineering skills we index (top 10%).
Its SKILL.md is 3.7 KB long, well organised into 14 sections with 10 code examples: a solid amount of guidance for an agent.
With 27,599 GitHub stars, it is one of the more widely adopted skills in the catalogue.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated 17 days ago, so sentry is actively maintained.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 88/100, with 1 caution from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I install sentry?
- Run
npx skills add openai/skills --skill sentry. The install tabs above show the steps for each supported agent. - Which AI agents does sentry work with?
- It is written for Universal, as a SKILL.md file. Other agents that read the same format can often use it too.
- Is sentry safe to use?
- Our scan of the whole file found no instruction hijacking, hidden characters, credential access, data exfiltration or destructive commands (1 minor note below). An AI review of the same text found nothing harmful. It declares no license and scores 88/100 on trust signals. Skills are instructions an agent will follow, so read the file before installing it and do not approve commands you do not understand.
- Is sentry still maintained?
- The repository was last updated 17 days ago, so sentry is actively maintained.

Sentry (Read-only Observability)
Quick start
- If not already authenticated, ask the user to run
sentry auth loginor setSENTRY_AUTH_TOKENas an env var. - The CLI auto-detects org/project from DSNs in
.envfiles, source code, config defaults, and directory names. Only specify<org>/<project>if auto-detection fails or picks the wrong target. - Defaults: time range
24h, environmentproduction, limit 20. - Always use
--jsonwhen processing output programmatically. Use--json --fieldsto select specific fields and reduce output size. - Use
sentry schema <resource>to discover API endpoints quickly.
If the CLI is not installed, give the user these steps:
- Install the Sentry CLI:
curl https://cli.sentry.dev/install -fsS | bash - Authenticate:
sentry auth login - Confirm authentication:
sentry auth status
- Never ask the user to paste the full token in chat. Ask them to set it locally and confirm when ready.
Core tasks (use Sentry CLI)
Use the sentry CLI for all queries. It handles authentication, org/project detection, pagination, and retries automatically. Use --json for machine-readable output.
1) List issues (ordered by most recent)
sentry issue list \
--query "is:unresolved environment:production" \
--period 24h \
--limit 20 \
--json --fields shortId,title,priority,level,status
If auto-detection doesn't resolve org/project, pass them explicitly:
sentry issue list {your-org}/{your-project} \
--query "is:unresolved environment:production" \
--period 24h \
--limit 20 \
--json
2) Resolve an issue short ID to issue detail
sentry issue view {ABC-123} --json
Use the short ID format (e.g., ABC-123), not the numeric ID.
3) Issue detail
sentry issue view {ABC-123}
4) Issue events
sentry issue events {ABC-123} --limit 20 --json
5) Event detail
sentry event view {your-org}/{your-project}/{event_id} --json
6) AI-powered root cause analysis
sentry issue explain {ABC-123}
7) AI-powered fix plan
sentry issue plan {ABC-123}
Fallback: arbitrary API access
For endpoints not covered by dedicated CLI commands, use sentry api:
sentry api /api/0/organizations/{your-org}/ --method GET
Use sentry schema to discover available API endpoints:
sentry schema issues
Inputs and defaults
org_slug,project_slug: auto-detected by the CLI from DSNs, env vars, and directory names. Override with positional{your-org}/{your-project}if auto-detection fails.time_range: default24h(pass as--period 24h).environment: defaultprod(pass as part of--query, e.g.,environment:production).limit: default 20 (pass as--limit).search_query: optional--queryparameter, uses Sentry search syntax (e.g.,is:unresolved,assigned:me).issue_short_id: use directly withsentry issue view.
Output formatting rules
- Issue list: show title, short_id, status, first_seen, last_seen, count, environments, top_tags; order by most recent.
- Event detail: include culprit, timestamp, environment, release, url.
- If no results, state explicitly.
- Redact PII in output (emails, IPs). Do not print raw stack traces.
- Never echo auth tokens.
Golden test inputs
- Org:
{your-org} - Project:
{your-project} - Issue short ID:
{ABC-123}
Example prompt: "List the top 10 open issues for prod in the last 24h." Expected: ordered list with titles, short IDs, counts, last seen.
