Sentry Skills
Skills the Sentry team uses for development: code review, bug hunting, security audits, commits, PRs and skill scanning
Install
claude plugin marketplace add getsentry/skills
claude plugin install sentry-skills@sentry-skillsRestart Claude Code after installation.
This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
The working skills of Sentry engineers, published as a Claude Code plugin and a skills.sh package. General skills fit any project: finding bugs and vulnerabilities in branch changes, security review, GitHub Actions workflow exploit audits, code simplification, iterating a PR to green CI with review feedback addressed, writing PR descriptions, maintaining a concise AGENTS.md, auditing Claude Code permissions and scanning third-party skills for dangerous content. Some skills are tied to internal Sentry processes: brand guidelines, the blog, error queue triage and SR&ED tax reports.
Who it is for. For developers who want review and PR skills proven in a large engineering team.
Good fit when
- You need to check branch changes for bugs and vulnerabilities before a PR
- You need to audit GitHub Actions for exploitable workflows
- You need to vet a downloaded skill before installing it
Not a fit when
- You need skills to set up Sentry in a project: that is the separate sentry-for-ai repository
- You do not want skills with Sentry's internal rules: the plugin installs as a whole
Example request
Find bugs and security issues in this branch's changes against mainLimitations
The README calls these skills for Sentry employees, so some rules and branch and commit conventions reflect internal standards. Some skills require gh, Linear or Notion. Claude Code needs a restart after install.
How to disable. Remove the plugin via /plugin or claude plugin uninstall sentry-skills@sentry-skills.
Security check
- Skills run git and gh and create branches, commits and PRs
- They read the whole project code during review
README in short
The README points to a separate repository for Sentry setup skills and covers installing the plugin via the Claude Code marketplace, updating it, and installing via npx skills for Cursor, Cline, GitHub Copilot and other agents. It lists all skills and two sub-agents, local development steps and the repository layout. Apache 2.0 licensed.
SKILL.md
--- name: agents-md description: Creates and maintains concise AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md project instruction files. Use when asked to create AGENTS.md, update AGENTS.md, maintain agent docs, set up CLAUDE.md, document repository agent conventions, or keep coding-agent instructions minimal and reference-backed. --- # Maintaining AGENTS.md Goal: concise, actionable agent instructions. Target under 60 lines; never exceed 100. ## Workflow 1. Inspect before writing: - package manager: lock files and manifests - commands: `package.json`, `Makefile`, task runners, CI workflows - docs/specs/policies: `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `docs/`, `specs/`, `policies/`, `SECURITY.md`, `.github/` - conventions: current code patterns, test layout, generated files, legacy areas to avoid 2. Choose scope: - root `AGENTS.md`: repo-wide defaults - nested `AGENTS.md`: only when a subtree has different commands or rules - closest instruction file wins; keep narrower files shorter than root files 3. Write the smallest useful file. 4. Verify exact paths and commands exist. ## File Setup - Create `AGENTS.md` at the repository root. - If a Claude-compatible entrypoint is required, symlink `CLAUDE.md` to `AGENTS.md`. - Do not maintain divergent `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` copies.
FAQ
Do the skills fit non-Sentry projects?
Review, bug finding, security audits, PR work and skill scanning are general. Brand, blog and SR&ED skills are only useful inside Sentry.
Are there sub-agents?
Yes, code-simplifier and senpai, a mentor for new Sentry hires.
