What it does

Pp Sentry is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. A broad Sentry API CLI with local search, SQL, export, and MCP surfaces for incident work. Trigger phrases: check Sentry issues, list Sentry projects, debug a Sentry event, audit Sentry releases, search Sentry incidents, use Sentry, run Sentry.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases, covering Local SEO and SQL. It works with Sentry, Model Context Protocol and SQL. The repository describes itself as: Official library of CLIs generated by the CLI Printing Press. Endorsed, tested, and community-contributed. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: check Sentry issues
  • List Sentry projects
  • Debug a Sentry event
  • Audit Sentry releases

Example prompts

  • “/pp-sentry”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and…
  2. Verify: sentry-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0fdcc7a. 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
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • go
    • claude
    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Pp Sentry loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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.

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.

Sentry — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the sentry-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:
    bash
    npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install sentry --cli-only
  2. Verify: sentry-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):

bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/monitoring/sentry/cmd/sentry-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI when an agent or script needs structured access to Sentry organizations, projects, issues, events, releases, monitors, teams, and related observability data. Prefer it over a hosted MCP when you need local binaries, local sync/search/SQL, CSV/JSON output, or direct control over auth and region routing.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Read-only Sentry inventory
  • organizations list — List Sentry organizations available to the authenticated token with structured output.

    Use this first when an agent needs to discover the organization slug for Sentry API work.

    bash
    sentry-pp-cli organizations list --json --select slug,name
  • seer — List the active LLM model names available through Sentry Seer.

    Use this when an agent needs to know which Seer-backed model identifiers Sentry exposes.

    bash
    sentry-pp-cli seer --json

HTTP Transport

This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

bash
sentry-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Discover orgs
bash
sentry-pp-cli organizations list --json --select slug,name

Find organization slugs for scoped Sentry commands.

List projects for an org
bash
sentry-pp-cli organizations projects list-an-organization-s my-org --json --select slug,name

Find project slugs before project-scoped incident queries.

List issues narrowly
bash
sentry-pp-cli organizations issues list-an-organization-s my-org --agent --select shortId,title,count,userCount

Keep agent context focused while triaging current issues.

Export organization inventory
bash
sentry-pp-cli export organizations --format json --output sentry-organizations.json

Create a portable incident handoff file after syncing or listing data.

Inspect CLI capabilities
bash
sentry-pp-cli agent-context --pretty

Give an agent the live command and auth surface before choosing a Sentry operation.

Auth Setup

Set SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN to a Sentry user or organization token with read scopes such as org:read, project:read, and event:read. Set SENTRY_REGION=de for EU-region SaaS organizations, or configure the base URL for self-hosted Sentry if supported by the generated config.

Run sentry-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

  • Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

  • Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

    bash
    sentry-pp-cli organizations list-your --agent --select id,name,status
  • Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

  • Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

  • Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

json
{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

sentry-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
sentry-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
sentry-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at ~/.sentry-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless SENTRY_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or SENTRY_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

SinkEffect
stdoutDefault; write to stdout only
file:<path>Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename)
webhook:<url>POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact)

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

sentry-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
sentry-pp-cli --profile briefing organizations list-your
sentry-pp-cli profile list --json
sentry-pp-cli profile show briefing
sentry-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.

Exit Codes

CodeMeaning
0Success
2Usage error (wrong arguments)
3Resource not found
4Authentication required
5API error (upstream issue)
7Rate limited (wait and retry)
10Config error

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  1. Empty, help, or --help → show sentry-pp-cli --help output
  2. Starts with install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
  3. Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)

MCP Server Installation

  1. Install the MCP server:
    bash
    go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/monitoring/sentry/cmd/sentry-pp-mcp@latest
  2. Register with Claude Code:
    bash
    claude mcp add sentry-pp-mcp -- sentry-pp-mcp
  3. Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

  1. Check if installed: which sentry-pp-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
  2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
  3. Execute with the --agent flag:
    bash
    sentry-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
  4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: sentry-pp-cli <command> --help.
