## What it does

The skill recommends capturing caught failures with `Sentry.captureException(error)` before rethrowing them. It adds spans around meaningful work, including interface clicks, HTTP client requests, and function calls. A span can carry an operation, a name, and attributes.

Next.js setup uses `sentry.client.config.ts`, `sentry.server.config.ts`, and `sentry.edge.config.ts`, while application code imports `@sentry/nextjs`. The setup example reads `process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN` and enables logs; `logger` supports context fields and formatted variables. Check the DSN environment value before running the app.

## Requirements
- Works with: Sentry

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add brianlovin/agent-config --skill sentry -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/sentry/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/sentry/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add brianlovin/agent-config --skill sentry -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/sentry/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add brianlovin/agent-config --skill sentry -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/sentry/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install brianlovin/agent-config sentry
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/sentry/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add brianlovin/agent-config --skill sentry -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/brianlovin/agent-config --path skills/sentry
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/sentry/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add brianlovin/agent-config --skill sentry -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/brianlovin/agent-config/tree/HEAD/skills/sentry/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- capture exceptions inside `try/catch` blocks
- trace HTTP requests with Sentry spans
- add spans around interface clicks
- attach context to structured log events

## Example prompts
- Add Sentry exception capture and rethrow the error in this `try/catch` block.
- Wrap `GET /api/items/${id}` in a Sentry client span.
- Set up `sentry.edge.config.ts` with `NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN` and logs.
