Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: api.github.com, github.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    Hosts contacted

    api.github.comsource hostgithub.comsource host

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned getsentry/agent-skills at 9f54eb0219.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill automates the setup of the Sentry OpenTelemetry (OTEL) exporter. It configures your application to send tracing data to Sentry using the OpenTelemetry protocol, enabling comprehensive performance monitoring and error tracking. The skill streamlines this process by handling configuration and integration details.

When to use it

  • You want to integrate Sentry with an application already using OpenTelemetry for instrumentation.
  • You're deploying a new application and need a quick way to set up distributed tracing in Sentry.
  • You’re migrating from another error tracking solution and want to leverage Sentry's features with existing OTEL data.
  • Your team wants to standardize on OpenTelemetry for observability across multiple services.

Key capabilities

  • Configures the Sentry OpenTelemetry exporter.
  • Handles necessary integrations for sending tracing data.
  • Simplifies setup and reduces manual configuration steps.

Example prompts

  • "Set up the Sentry OTEL exporter with my API key."
  • "Configure the OpenTelemetry exporter to send traces to Sentry."
  • “Integrate my application’s OpenTelemetry data into Sentry.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have an active Sentry account and API key before using this skill.
  • The skill assumes a basic understanding of OpenTelemetry concepts and instrumentation within your application.
