Technical Overview & Architectural Context

Autonomous coding agents frequently misconfigure fullstack telemetry. When prompted to instrument Next.js or Node.js applications with Sentry, agents routinely mix browser-side and server-side runtime imports, inject browser tokens into Edge runtimes, or configure global uncaught listeners that crash React 19 Server Components. Furthermore, agents often miss configuring `sentry.edge.config.ts`, omit release identifiers required for source map artifacts, and set `tracesSampleRate: 1.0` in high-throughput endpoints, exhaustively draining project telemetry quotas within minutes. The `sentry-fullstack-error-telemetry` skill eliminates this non-deterministic behavior by injecting strict, pre-audited procedural boundaries. It forces the autonomous agent to isolate Sentry initialization across client, server, and edge layers, establishes explicit tag-based exception capture with contextual user redaction, and mandates quota-protective sampling configurations before validating the build pipeline.

Prerequisites & Environment Requirements

Step-by-Step Execution Playbook

Local Environment Setup & SKILL.md Mounting

Create the local skill manifest directory and inject verified procedural rules into the agent runtime.

To register `sentry-fullstack-error-telemetry` across Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf, mount the SKILL.md definition into the agent's active configuration path. The agent parses the YAML metadata frontmatter (`triggers`, `permissions`) and references the procedural rules during execution planning without bloating the base system prompt.

Terminal Command
mkdir -p .cursor/skills/sentry-fullstack-error-telemetry && curl -fsSL https://askills.dev/api/skills/sentry-fullstack-error-telemetry/raw -o .cursor/skills/sentry-fullstack-error-telemetry/SKILL.md

# Sentry Fullstack Error Monitoring & Performance Tracing

Configures Sentry across Next.js/Node: sentry.client.config.ts, sentry.server.config.ts, sentry.edge.config.ts, source map uploads in CI, capturing handled exceptions with captureException, and setting user context.

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Run setup: npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i nextjs to scaffold configuration files.
2. Set user context: Sentry.setUser({ id: user.id, email: user.email }).
3. Capture handled errors: Sentry.captureException(error, { tags: { section: 'billing' } }).
4. Tune trace sample rates: tracesSampleRate: 0.1 to avoid overwhelming Sentry quotas in high-traffic apps.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
Production Pro-Tip

Mount skills in `.cursor/skills` or `.claude/skills` locally instead of global paths so that team members inherit identical telemetry boundaries via version control.

Sandbox Gotcha

Ensure `fs_write` is restricted to `'workspace'`. Do not allow the agent to execute shell commands with root privileges when installing SDK wrappers.

2

Environment Secrets & Dependency Validation

Inject required Sentry DSNs and Auth tokens safely without leaking credentials into the LLM context window.

Autonomous agents often request or dump secret keys directly into interactive chat prompts. To comply with security score 98/100 parameters, isolate secrets in local environment files (`.env.local`) and configure `.gitignore` before triggering SDK scaffolding.

Terminal Command
grep -q 'SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN' .gitignore || echo -e '\n.env*.local\n.sentryclirc' >> .gitignore
.env.local
# Production / Staging Sentry DSN
NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN="https://[email protected]/0000000"
SENTRY_DSN="https://[email protected]/0000000"
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN="sntrys_your_masked_auth_token_here"
SENTRY_ORG="my-org"
SENTRY_PROJECT="nextjs-prod"
Production Pro-Tip

Use `NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN` strictly for client-side ingest. Restrict backend DSN tokens to server-only environment variables to prevent quota hijacking.

Sandbox Gotcha

Never instruct the agent to run `cat .env.local` to verify keys. Agents should verify variable presence using `test -n "$SENTRY_DSN"` to avoid token leakage in LLM logs.

3

Intent Matching & Trigger Invocation

Trigger deterministic code generation across Next.js config layers using frontmatter triggers.

Provide the agent with explicit operational triggers defined in `SKILL.md` (e.g., `setup sentry nextjs`, `capture exception sentry`). The agent matches the trigger and establishes the required modular structure: `sentry.client.config.ts`, `sentry.server.config.ts`, and `sentry.edge.config.ts`.

sentry.server.config.ts
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN || process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN,
  tracesSampleRate: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 0.1 : 1.0,
  debug: false,
  beforeSend(event) {
    if (event.request?.headers) {
      delete event.request.headers['authorization'];
      delete event.request.headers['cookie'];
    }
    return event;
  },
});
Production Pro-Tip

Instruct the agent to include a `beforeSend` sanitization hook in server and edge configs to automatically purge PII and authorization headers before transmission.

Sandbox Gotcha

Avoid importing `@sentry/nextjs` in components marked `'use client'` without referencing client config; use the specific client build to prevent SSR tree-shaking failures.

4

Verification, Linting & Output Quality Gate

Execute automated self-healing checks and build validation before accepting agent telemetry deliverables.

The skill mandates that the agent execute local validation scripts prior to marking the task complete. The agent must verify that Next.js wraps the configuration correctly via `withSentryConfig` in `next.config.mjs` and that TypeScript compiler passes without errors.

Terminal Command
pnpm tsc --noEmit && pnpm next build --dry-run
next.config.mjs
import { withSentryConfig } from '@sentry/nextjs';

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
};

export default withSentryConfig(nextConfig, {
  org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
  project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
  silent: !process.env.CI,
  widenClientFileUpload: true,
  hideSourceMaps: true,
  disableLogger: true,
});
Production Pro-Tip

Always verify that `hideSourceMaps: true` is present so production source maps are uploaded to Sentry and stripped from the public `.next/static` distribution bundle.

Sandbox Gotcha

If using Next.js Turbopack (`next dev --turbo`), ensure your agent does not inject Webpack-specific Sentry plugins that break the development build pipeline.

Real-World Scenario: Instrumenting High-Throughput Checkout API with Contextual Error Handling and Tracing

Tested Trigger Prompt (Feed directly into Codex, Claude, or Cursor):

“setup sentry nextjs in our checkout workflow. Capture exception sentry whenever the Stripe webhook validation fails or a card payment is declined, attach user metadata, tag the error with section 'checkout-billing', and set trace sample rate to 0.1.”

Deterministic Agent Verification Pipeline:
Mounted the `sentry-fullstack-error-telemetry` skill to parse constraints and triggers.
Scaffolded `sentry.client.config.ts`, `sentry.server.config.ts`, and `sentry.edge.config.ts` with `tracesSampleRate: 0.1`.
Wrapped `next.config.mjs` using `withSentryConfig` with hidden sourcemap upload settings.
Implemented `Sentry.withScope()` in `app/api/checkout/route.ts` setting `tags: { section: 'checkout-billing' }` and calling `Sentry.captureException(err)` on failure.
Executed `pnpm tsc --noEmit` and build verification to confirm zero runtime deprecation warnings.

Runtime Troubleshooting & Failure Modes

Error: Error: Can't resolve '@sentry/nextjs' in 'app/api/edge-handler/route.ts'

Root Cause: The agent attempted to import Node-specific Sentry APIs inside an Edge Runtime route segment (`export const runtime = 'edge'`).

Resolution Command / Fix:
Ensure edge route files only import from '@sentry/nextjs' using the Edge-compatible entry points and verify `sentry.edge.config.ts` is initialized: `import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';` and avoid referencing Node core modules (fs, path) in scopes called by the Edge runtime.
Error: API request failed: Sentry returned 401 Unauthorized (Invalid token)

Root Cause: The agent attempted to run sourcemap artifact upload without `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN` exported or provided a malformed token inside `.sentryclirc`.

Resolution Command / Fix:
Run `export SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN="<valid_token>"` in your shell environment and instruct the agent: `upload sourcemaps sentry using existing environment variables without writing tokens to disk`.

Frequently Asked Questions (Sentry Fullstack Error Monitoring & Performance Tracing SOP)

Q:Can I use Sentry Fullstack Error Monitoring & Performance Tracing across Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor simultaneously?

Yes. The skill conforms to the universal SKILL.md specification supported across all modern agent runtimes. By placing the file in your repository's `.cursor/skills/`, `.claude/skills/`, or root `.agents/skills/` directory, any compliant autonomous runtime will identify the triggers and enforce the exact same operational SOP.

Q:How does Sentry Fullstack Error Monitoring & Performance Tracing prevent context window overflow during long agent sessions?

By establishing concise procedural boundaries and deterministic validation gates rather than polluting system prompts with redundant rules. The SKILL.md limits runtime metadata to actionable rules (configuration separation, sampling rate enforcement, sourcemap stripping), consuming less than 400 prompt tokens while eliminating hallucinated SDK APIs.

Q:Does this skill require escalated root or container permissions?

No. It is audited with a security score of 98/100 and runs safely within workspace-scoped sandboxes. The skill explicitly sets `shell_exec: false` and `net_access: false` in its permissions contract, ensuring the agent only modifies authorized workspace configuration files without accessing external networks or arbitrary host processes.
