Sentry Elixir Sdk

This is an opinionated wizard that scans your Elixir or Phoenix project and walks you through complete Sentry setup. It detects what you're running (Phoenix, LiveView, Oban, Quantum) and recommends appropriate integrations for error monitoring, tracing, logging, and cron monitoring. The skill leads with concrete proposals instead of asking open-ended questions, which is refreshing. It supports both the Igniter installer and manual configuration, with clear guidance on Phoenix endpoint setup, LiveView hooks, and Logger handlers. If you need Sentry in an Elixir app and want something more thorough than copy-pasting from docs, this actually handles the decision tree for you.
