Sentry Feature Setup
Configure specific Sentry capabilities beyond basic SDK setup — AI monitoring, OpenTelemetry pipelines, alerts, and deciding which signal to instrument where. This page helps you find the right feature skill for your task.
How to Fetch Skills
Use curl to download skills — they are 10–20 KB files that fetch tools often summarize, losing critical details.
curl -sL https://skills.sentry.dev/sentry-setup-ai-monitoring/SKILL.md
Append the path from the Path column in the table below to https://skills.sentry.dev/. Do not guess or shorten URLs.
Start Here — Read This Before Doing Anything
Do not skip this section. Do not assume which feature the user needs. Ask first.
- If the user mentions AI monitoring, LLM tracing, conversations, or instrumenting an AI SDK (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, Vercel AI, Google GenAI, Pydantic AI) →
sentry-setup-ai-monitoring - If the user mentions OpenTelemetry, OTel Collector, or multi-service telemetry routing →
sentry-otel-exporter-setup - If the user mentions alerts, notifications, on-call, Slack/PagerDuty/Discord integration, or workflow rules →
sentry-create-alert - If the user mentions span streaming, traceLifecycle, trace_lifecycle, spanStreamingIntegration, or switching from transactions to streamed spans →
sentry-span-streaming-js(JavaScript) orsentry-span-streaming-python(Python) - If the user is unsure which signal to use — log vs span vs metric, "what to instrument where", or how to choose between errors, traces, logs, and metrics →
sentry-instrumentation-guide
When unclear, ask the user which feature they want to configure. Do not guess.
