Sentry Integration Skill

Purpose

This skill enforces comprehensive Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring across all services following Sentry v8 patterns.

When to Use This Skill

• Adding error handling to any code
• Creating new controllers or routes
• Instrumenting cron jobs
• Tracking database performance
• Adding performance spans
• Handling workflow errors

🚨 CRITICAL RULE

ALL ERRORS MUST BE CAPTURED TO SENTRY - No exceptions. Never use console.error alone.

Current Status

Example: API Service ✅ Complete

• Sentry v8 fully integrated
• All workflow errors tracked
• Background job processors instrumented
• Test endpoints available

Sentry Integration Patterns

1. Controller Error Handling

// ✅ CORRECT - Use BaseController
import { BaseController } from '../controllers/BaseController';

export class MyController extends BaseController {
    async myMethod() {
        try {
            // ... your code
        } catch (error) {
            this.handleError(error, 'myMethod'); // Automatically sends to Sentry
        }
    }
}

2. Route Error Handling (Without BaseController)

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node';

router.get('/route', async (req, res) => {
    try {
        // ... your code
    } catch (error) {
        Sentry.captureException(error, {
            tags: { route: '/route', method: 'GET' },
            extra: { userId: req.user?.id }
        });
        res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
    }
});

3. Workflow Error Handling

Example of a domain-specific Sentry helper from the original production project. If you build a helper like this for your domain, the call site looks like:

import { WorkflowSentryHelper } from '../workflow/utils/sentryHelper';
