Sentry Create Alert

This automates Sentry alert creation through their beta workflow engine API, handling the full dance of looking up user and team IDs, building properly structured JSON payloads, and wiring up notifications to email, Slack, PagerDuty, or Discord. It shines when you're setting up priority-based de-escalation alerts or frequency thresholds, since the condition schema is polymorphic and easy to get wrong manually. The skill walks through configuration gathering, ID resolution via curl and Python one-liners, and generates the nested trigger/action filter structure that the API expects. One gotcha: this uses the new workflow engine, so alerts may not show in the legacy UI unless your org has the feature flag enabled.
