-
-- User asks to "fix Sentry issues" or "resolve Sentry errors"
-- User wants to "debug production bugs" or "investigate exceptions"
-- User mentions issue IDs, error messages, or asks about recent failures
-- User wants to triage or work through their Sentry backlog
+> **On-demand** — point it at a bug, or work through your Sentry queue; it investigates the root cause, fixes it, and optionally opens a draft PR, with a human in the loop. (It fixes one issue at a time, each on its own branch/PR.) Opening a PR needs a clean working tree and `gh` auth.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
 - Sentry MCP server configured and connected
 - Access to the Sentry project/organization
+- `gh` CLI authenticated (`gh auth status`): used in the Phase 1 branch preflight (to check for an existing PR) and required in Phase 7 to open the draft PR (which also needs a clean working tree). If `gh` is unavailable, the preflight degrades gracefully (see Phase 1) and Phase 7 cannot run.
+- Assigning the issue back in Sentry (Phase 7) needs **issue-write enabled**; on a read-only MCP connection that step is skipped and noted, and the draft PR is unaffected.

 |-------------|----------|----------------|
 | Recent unresolved | `search_issues` | `naturalLanguageQuery: "unresolved issues"` |
 | Specific error type | `search_issues` | `naturalLanguageQuery: "unresolved TypeError errors"` |

+| Raw Sentry syntax | `search_issues` | `query: "is:unresolved error.type:TypeError"` (literal syntax) |

+### Scoring candidates for fixability
+
+When selecting from a pool, score each candidate so you recommend one where a fix is actually achievable in *this* repository:
+
+| Signal | Favors fixing | Counts against |
+|--------|---------------|----------------|
+| **Root cause location** | Stack frames point at files that exist in the current repo | Frames are all third-party / vendor / framework code |
+| **Bug class** | A concrete application-logic mistake (wrong key, off-by-one, missing null check on app data) | A broken environment (infra down, DNS, config, data corruption, OOM) — code is correct |
+| **Evidence** | Clear stack trace + reproducible data state | Vague message, no actionable stack trace |
+| **Scope** | Fix looks contained to one or two files | Requires cross-cutting or architectural change |
+
+Assign each candidate a fixability score (1–5) and a `fixable` boolean with one-line reasoning and suspected files. **Read enough of the actual code to judge — a surface read of the message and stack trace is not enough.** Many errors that look environmental (e.g. "file is not a database", "permission denied") turn out to be code bugs once you see how the failing code is called.
+
+**Selection:** recommend the single issue that is `fixable`, scores **≥4**, and has at least one suspected file that exists locally (verify with `test -f`). If none qualify, report why each was skipped — never lower the bar to force a match.
+
+**Branch preflight (before editing any code).** For the chosen issue, let `BRANCH = claude/sentry-fix-<issue-short-id-lowercased>` and check it *before* Phases 4–6 touch the repo, so you never edit files and then abandon the work with a dirty tree:
+
+- `git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/${BRANCH}` — if the branch exists, run `gh pr list --head ${BRANCH} --state all --json url,state` to check for an existing PR. If a PR already exists, the issue is already handled — report the PR and stop. If the branch exists with **no** PR, tell the user it's an orphaned branch and to delete it (`git branch -D ${BRANCH}`) and stop. Never auto-delete a branch.
+- **If `gh` is missing or `gh pr list` errors**, do not infer the branch is orphaned (a failed lookup is not "no PR"). Report that the PR-existence check couldn't run, ask the user to resolve the existing branch manually, and stop — never recommend deleting a branch based on a failed or unavailable check.
+- If the branch does not exist, proceed.

+After the user approves the fix:

+1. **Branch safety.** Create and work on `claude/sentry-fix-<issue-short-id-lowercased>` (the branch preflight in Phase 1 already confirmed it's free). Never commit the fix onto `main`/`master`.
+2. **Commit.** Make a single focused commit for the fix. Never use `git push --force` or `--no-verify`.
+3. **Open a draft PR** with `gh pr create --draft`. The body must include: a link to the Sentry issue, a short root-cause explanation, what changed and why, and the test plan (commands run + result).
+4. **Update Sentry, don't resolve.** Assignment is **best-effort and optional**. `update_issue` needs an explicit user ID (`user:<id>`); it has no `me`/`self` keyword. Only attempt assignment if you can obtain the authenticated user's ID from an available tool (e.g. a `whoami`/user-lookup tool) — **never guess or hallucinate an ID.** If no such tool is available, or the MCP is read-only (no `update_issue`), **skip assignment** and note it in the Phase 8 report. **Never resolve the issue from this skill** — resolution happens when the PR merges. The draft PR is unaffected by skipped assignment since it uses `gh`, not the MCP.
