At a glance

Review Sentry React and TypeScript changes for bug patterns drawn from real production issues.

  • Works in 3 steps: Classify the Code → Check for Top Bug Patterns → Report Findings
  • Reviewing a frontend diff
  • SKILL.md covers Scope, Step 1: Classify the Code, Step 2: Check for Top Bug… and Step 3: Report Findings
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Sentry Javascript Bugs is an agent skill from getsentry/sentry, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Review Sentry React and TypeScript changes for bug patterns drawn from real production issues. Use when reviewing a frontend diff or PR, checking Warden findings, auditing the current branch, reviewing production-error patterns, or looking for common regressions in static/.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/ai-insights-parsing.md` and `references/api-response-handling.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. It works with Sentry, JavaScript, React and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a frontend diff
  • Checking Warden findings
  • Auditing the current branch
  • Reviewing production-error patterns

Example prompts

  • “/sentry-javascript-bugs”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify the Code
  2. Check for Top Bug Patterns
  3. Report Findings

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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Sentry Javascript Bugs loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,243 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.7k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

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 1,243 words (~2,610 tokens).

“Find bugs in Sentry frontend code by checking for the patterns that cause the most real production errors.”
