sentry-feature-setup routes agents to the correct Sentry feature skill for AI monitoring, OTel, alerts, span streaming, or instrumentation guidance.
About
Sentry Feature Setup is a router skill that helps agents pick the right Sentry capability beyond basic SDK installation. It instructs agents to ask which feature is needed instead of guessing, then curl the matching skill from skills.sentry.dev because summarized fetches lose critical setup detail. Routing covers AI and LLM monitoring for OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, Vercel AI, Google GenAI, and Pydantic AI via sentry-setup-ai-monitoring, OpenTelemetry Collector export via sentry-otel-exporter-setup, alerts and Slack or PagerDuty workflows via sentry-create-alert, span streaming migrations per language, and the sentry-instrumentation-guide when choosing logs versus spans versus metrics. Each linked skill owns its own detection logic and step-by-step instructions. Use it when users mention AI tracing, OTel pipelines, on-call alerts, traceLifecycle or spanStreamingIntegration, or need guidance on what signal to instrument where in a Sentry-backed stack.
- Router skill: ask the user which Sentry feature to configure before acting.
- Fetch child skills with curl from skills.sentry.dev; do not guess shortened URLs.
- Routes AI monitoring, OTel exporter, alerts, span streaming, and instrumentation guide skills.
- Span streaming paths split by JavaScript, Python, and Dart runtimes.
- Points to full Skill Tree for SDK setup and debugging workflows.

Which Sentry feature skill should I use for AI tracing, OpenTelemetry, alerts, or span streaming setup?
Route Sentry setup requests to the correct feature skill for AI monitoring, OpenTelemetry, alerts, span streaming, or instrumentation choices.
Who is it for?
Developers extending Sentry beyond basic SDK setup who need the right feature-specific skill path.
Skip if: Skip when you only need initial SDK install or error debugging; use SDK setup skills from the Skill Tree.
When should I use this skill?
User mentions Sentry AI monitoring, OpenTelemetry exporter, alerts, span streaming, or choosing logs vs spans vs metrics.
What you get
Correct child skill fetched from skills.sentry.dev with full instructions instead of improvised shortcuts.
- Correct downstream Sentry feature skill loaded for implementation
By the numbers
- Individual sentry-for-ai feature skills are about 10–20 KB each
- Router covers AI/LLM monitoring, OpenTelemetry, alerts, and span streaming

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.
1. 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 2. If the user mentions OpenTelemetry, OTel Collector, or multi-service telemetry routing → sentry-otel-exporter-setup 3. If the user mentions alerts, notifications, on-call, Slack/PagerDuty/Discord integration, or workflow rules → sentry-create-alert 4. If the user mentions span streaming, traceLifecycle, trace_lifecycle, spanStreamingIntegration, or switching from transactions to streamed spans → sentry-span-streaming-js (JavaScript), sentry-span-streaming-python (Python), or sentry-span-streaming-dart (Dart/Flutter) 5. 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.

FAQ
Should the agent guess which Sentry feature to configure?
No. Ask the user which feature they need when unclear; do not assume AI monitoring or alerts.
How should child skills be loaded?
curl -sL https://skills.sentry.dev/<path>/SKILL.md using exact paths from the feature table.
Where is span streaming documented?
Use sentry-span-streaming-js, sentry-span-streaming-python, or sentry-span-streaming-dart based on runtime.
Is Sentry Feature Setup safe to install?
skills.sh reports 2 of 3 security scanners passed. Review the Security Audits panel on this page before installing in production.
