What it does

Sentry Instrumentation is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. Decide whether and how errors report to Sentry. Use when touching capture or error-handling paths in web/, triaging Sentry noise, or changing Sentry settings.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sentry-capture-contract.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Observability. It works with Sentry and Langfuse. The repository describes itself as: 🪢 Open source agent evals & observability: Trace, evaluate, and improve LLM applications with one open platform.

When your agent uses it

  • Touching capture
  • Error-handling paths in web/
  • Triaging Sentry noise
  • Changing Sentry settings

Example prompts

  • “/sentry-instrumentation”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. An event is a promise a human acts — expected states are not events.
  2. **Capture a REAL Error, never a string / object / SyntheticEvent /

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 389f393. 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

    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 Instrumentation loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.4k

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 1,444 words (~3,043 tokens).

“One idea: an event in Sentry is a promise that a human should act. If nobody would act on it, do not send it. If you send it, make it legible (a real Error with a stack — never a…”
