## What it does

The skill reads unresolved issues in the `sentry/javascript` project and sorts out what is noise: errors inside third-party libraries, browser extensions, a single customer's environment. Anything that could be a genuine bug in the project's own code stays untouched.

The only status change it makes is `status=ignored` with `ignoreMode=untilEscalating`. Resolving, assigning and deleting are off the table. Every archive carries a short reason naming a category from `references/archive-criteria.md`. Before touching anything, the skill prints a table plan and waits for approval. One `apply` covers the plan you were shown; a new batch needs a fresh confirmation.

You need the Sentry MCP server authenticated through `mcp.sentry.dev`, with `search_issues`, `get_sentry_resource` and `update_issue` available. Without `update_issue` the skill stops and asks you to authenticate. Input can be an issue URL, a short ID like `JAVASCRIPT-…`, a search query containing a colon, or nothing at all for the default queue.

## Requirements
- Works with: Sentry

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill triage-frontend-issues -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill triage-frontend-issues -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill triage-frontend-issues -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install getsentry/skills triage-frontend-issues
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill triage-frontend-issues -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/getsentry/skills --path skills/triage-frontend-issues
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill triage-frontend-issues -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/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/triage-frontend-issues/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- work through new issues in `sentry/javascript`
- filter out noise from third-party libraries and browser extensions
- separate real bugs from customer-environment errors
- review an archive plan before any change is made
- flag borderline issues for human review

## Example prompts
- Triage the sentry/javascript issue queue from the last day
- Check JAVASCRIPT-1234 and tell me whether it should be archived
- Build a plan for the query `is:unresolved is:unassigned firstSeen:-7d`

# Triage Frontend Issues

Archive non-actionable noise from the `sentry/javascript` issue queue: only archive, always `untilEscalating`, always with a stated reason. Issues that look actionable in our code, or that you cannot confidently classify, must be skipped.

## Hard Rules

These rules override anything else. Do not relax them.

1. **Project scope.** Only operate on `organizationSlug=sentry`, project slug `javascript`. If asked to triage a different project, stop and ask the user to confirm.
2. **Archive only.** The only status mutation permitted is `status=ignored`. Never resolve, never unresolve, never assign, never delete, never bulk-update fields other than status.
3. **Always `untilEscalating`.** Use `ignoreMode=untilEscalating`. Never use `forever`, `forDuration`, `untilOccurrenceCount`, or `untilUserCount`. If the user asks for a different mode, stop and have them archive that issue manually — this skill does not perform non-escalating archives.
4. **Always include a `reason`.** The `reason` must be a short, factual sentence naming the category from `references/archive-criteria.md` (e.g., "Third-party library noise — echarts internals; not actionable in our code").
5. **Never touch issues outside the unresolved queue.** Skip anything with `status` of `resolved`, `ignored`, or `reprocessing`.
6. **Never archive without confirmation.** Build a full plan, show it to the user, wait for explicit approval before calling `update_issue`. A single approval covers the displayed plan only; new batches need new approval.
7. **When in doubt, skip.** If an issue could plausibly be a real bug in our code, do not archive it. Surface it as `needs-human` in the plan with a one-line note.

## Prerequisites

- Sentry MCP authenticated via `mcp.sentry.dev`. Required tools: `search_issues`, `get_sentry_resource`, `update_issue`.
- If `update_issue` is not available, stop and ask the user to authenticate the Sentry MCP server.
