## What it does

This skill is a router. It inspects project files such as `package.json`, `go.mod`, `requirements.txt`, `Gemfile`, `*.csproj` and `build.gradle`, then loads the Sentry SDK skill that fits. Each SDK skill carries its own detection logic, prerequisites and step-by-step configuration.

The flow is deliberate. Detect the platform, tell you what was found and which SDK is recommended, then wait for confirmation before reading the skill. When several SDKs could match, the more specific one wins: `@nestjs/core` routes to `sentry-nestjs-sdk` rather than `sentry-node-sdk`, `wrangler.toml` to `sentry-cloudflare-sdk`, Next.js to `sentry-nextjs-sdk`. Plain browser JavaScript lands on `sentry-browser-sdk`.

You need a DSN for the project. Grab it from the Sentry project settings under Client Keys (DSN). The DSN is public and fine to keep in source code, since it only says where events go. If nothing matches your stack, the skill points you at the Sentry platform docs.

## Requirements
- Works with: Sentry

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/sentry-for-ai --skill sentry-sdk-setup -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/sentry-for-ai --skill sentry-sdk-setup -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/sentry-for-ai --skill sentry-sdk-setup -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install getsentry/sentry-for-ai sentry-sdk-setup
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/sentry-for-ai --skill sentry-sdk-setup -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-for-ai --path skills-legacy/sentry-sdk-setup
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/sentry-for-ai --skill sentry-sdk-setup -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/getsentry/sentry-for-ai/tree/HEAD/skills-legacy/sentry-sdk-setup/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- add Sentry to a project in a stack the agent does not know
- choose between SDKs when a repo mixes frameworks
- locate the project DSN and wire it into config
- set up error capture, tracing and session replay step by step
- confirm the SDK choice before any package gets installed

## Example prompts
- add Sentry to this project
- set up error monitoring for our stack
- install the Sentry SDK and tell me which one fits

# Sentry SDK Setup

Set up Sentry error monitoring, tracing, and session replay in any language or framework. This page helps you find the right SDK skill for your project.

## Start Here — Read This Before Doing Anything

**Do not skip this section.** Do not assume which SDK the user needs based on their project files. Do not start installing packages or creating config files until you have confirmed the user's intent.

1. **Detect the platform** from project files (`package.json`, `go.mod`, `requirements.txt`, `Gemfile`, `*.csproj`, `build.gradle`, etc.).
2. **Tell the user what you found** and which SDK you recommend.
3. **Wait for confirmation** before reading the skill and proceeding.

Each SDK skill contains its own detection logic, prerequisites, and step-by-step configuration. Trust the skill — read it carefully and follow it. Do not improvise or take shortcuts.
