Sentry Python Sdk

This is a comprehensive setup wizard for Sentry's Python SDK that actually scans your project first. It detects your framework (Django, Flask, FastAPI, etc.), checks for OpenTelemetry tracing, finds AI libraries like OpenAI or LangChain, and then recommends a specific config instead of asking you twenty questions. The opinionated part is real: it tells you exactly where to put sentry_sdk.init() for each framework, handles the dual-process init pain for Celery, and routes you to OTLP integration if you already have OTel instrumentation running. Use this when you want Sentry installed correctly the first time rather than debugging why your Flask errors aren't showing up because you initialized after creating the app object.

Invoke This Skill When

User asks to "add Sentry to Python" or "setup Sentry" in a Python app
User wants error monitoring, tracing, profiling, logging, metrics, or crons in Python
User mentions sentry-sdk, sentry_sdk, or Sentry + any Python framework
User wants to monitor Django views, Flask routes, FastAPI endpoints, Celery tasks, or scheduled jobs

Phase 1: Detect

Run these commands to understand the project before making recommendations:

# Check existing Sentry
grep -i sentry requirements.txt pyproject.toml setup.cfg setup.py 2>/dev/null

# Detect web framework
grep -rE "django|flask|fastapi|starlette|aiohttp|tornado|quart|falcon|sanic|bottle|pyramid" \
  requirements.txt pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null
