Sentry Go Sdk

This walks you through the full Sentry setup for Go apps with an opinionated wizard that detects your framework and dependencies first, then recommends exactly which features to enable. It covers net/http, Gin, Echo, Fiber, FastHTTP, Iris, and Negroni, plus automatic integration with common logging libraries like logrus, zap, and zerolog. The guide is structured in phases: detect what's already there, propose a concrete plan instead of asking open-ended questions, then install only what you need. It includes sensible defaults for tracing sample rates and proper middleware configuration for each framework. Good if you want error monitoring, distributed tracing, or cron job monitoring without guessing at the right incantations.

Invoke This Skill When

User asks to "add Sentry to Go" or "setup Sentry" in a Go app
User wants error monitoring, tracing, logging, metrics, or crons in Go
User mentions sentry-go, github.com/getsentry/sentry-go, or Go Sentry SDK
User wants to monitor panics, HTTP handlers, or scheduled jobs in Go

Note: SDK versions and APIs below reflect Sentry docs at time of writing (sentry-go v0.43.0). Always verify against docs.sentry.io/platforms/go/ before implementing.

Phase 1: Detect

Run these commands to understand the project before making any recommendations:

# Check existing Sentry dependency
grep -i sentry go.mod 2>/dev/null

# Detect web framework
grep -E "gin-gonic/gin|labstack/echo|gofiber/fiber|valyala/fasthttp|kataras/iris|urfave/negroni" go.mod 2>/dev/null

# Detect logging libraries
grep -E "sirupsen/logrus|go.uber.org/zap|rs/zerolog|log/slog" go.mod go.sum 2>/dev/null

# Detect cron / scheduler patterns
grep -E "robfig/cron|go-co-op/gocron|jasonlvhit/gocron" go.mod 2>/dev/null
