What it does

Notification Platform is an agent skill from getsentry/sentry, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guide for adding notifications, custom renderers, or new providers to Sentry's NotificationPlatform. Use when asked to "add notification", "new notification", "notification platform", "send notification", "notification template", "notification renderer", "notification provider", "NotificationPlatform", "notify user", "send email notification", "send slack notification".

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/custom-renderers.md`, `references/data-and-templates.md` and `references/provider-template.md`).

It works with Sentry and Slack. The repository describes itself as: Developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to add notification
  • New notification
  • Notification platform
  • Send notification

Example prompts

  • “s NotificationPlatform. Use when asked to”
  • “new notification”
  • “notification platform”
  • “/notification-platform”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine Your Operation
  2. Define the Notification Source
  3. Create the Notification Data
  4. Create the Notification Template
  5. Register Rollout and Send
  6. Add a Custom Renderer
  7. Add a New Provider
  8. Test
  9. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 87d1203. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pytest

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Notification Platform loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 936 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~10k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 936 words (~3,644 tokens).

“Sentry's NotificationPlatform is a provider-based system for sending notifications across Email, Slack, Discord, and MS Teams. You define data + template, register it, and the platform handles rendering and delivery per provider.”
