Sentry Go Sdk

This is a complete Sentry setup wizard for Go projects that scans your codebase to detect which framework you're using (Gin, Echo, Fiber, net/http, gRPC, etc.) and builds a tailored integration plan. Instead of dumping config examples, it walks you through detection, makes specific recommendations based on what it finds, then guides you through installing only the relevant sub-packages. It handles the full stack: error monitoring, tracing, logging integrations (logrus, zap, slog), metrics, and cron monitoring. The opinionated approach is helpful because Sentry's Go SDK has a lot of framework-specific packages and middleware options that are easy to misconfigure. It even checks for companion frontends and will link to cross-platform setup. Good for teams who want proper observability without reading 40 pages of docs.

Sentry Go SDK

Opinionated wizard that scans your Go project and guides you through complete Sentry setup.

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+). As of v0.33.0+, the SDK requires Go 1.25 or later (supports the two most recent Go major versions). 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
