Discover, analyze, and fix production issues using Sentry's full debugging capabilities.

> **On-demand by default** — point it at a specific bug and it investigates and fixes it. It can *also* run unattended (see Autonomous Mode), but treat scheduled use as a secondary capability; for recurring queue hygiene reach for `sentry-triage-issues` or `sentry-groom-issues` instead. Opening a PR needs a clean working tree and `gh` auth.

## Invoke This Skill When

- 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
- User wants to write a code fix for a specific bug and (optionally) open a PR for it
- A scheduled routine invokes the skill to auto-fix one issue unattended

For *bulk backlog hygiene* — closing stale issues or re-opening regressions without writing code — use `sentry-groom-issues` instead.

## Prerequisites

- Sentry MCP server configured and connected
- Access to the Sentry project/organization
- For opening a pull request (Phase 7): `gh` CLI authenticated (`gh auth status`) and a clean working tree
- The fix and draft PR work on any MCP connection. Assigning the issue back in Sentry (Phase 7) additionally needs **issue-write enabled**; on a read-only connection that step is skipped and noted, and the PR is unaffected.

## Autonomous Mode

The primary, default mode is **interactive**: a human points the skill at a bug and stays in the loop. Autonomous mode is a secondary capability — when invoked from a scheduled routine or cron job (rather than an interactive request), run end-to-end without prompting:

- **Do not** ask the user which issue to fix. Score candidates (Phase 1) and auto-select the single best one.
- Fix exactly **one** issue per run, open a **draft** PR, and stop.
- Skip every confirmation step; if a precondition fails (dirty tree, no `gh` auth, no qualifying issue), exit cleanly with the parseable summary in Phase 8 instead of asking.
- Never widen the selection criteria to force a match. "Nothing qualified" is a valid, safe outcome.

In interactive mode, keep the user in the loop: confirm the issue before fixing and the fix before opening a PR.

### Scoring candidates for fixability

Before committing to a fix — and always in autonomous mode — score each candidate so you spend effort 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:** pick 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 and stop — never lower the bar to force a match.

## Phase 2: Deep Issue Analysis

**Apply the fix:** Prefer input validation > try/catch, graceful degradation > hard failures, specific > generic handling, root cause > symptom fixes. Fix the underlying cause rather than wrapping the symptom in a defensive `try/except` that hides it.

**Stay scoped.** Keep the change contained to the root cause — aim for one or two files. If a clean fix appears to require sprawling edits across many files or a broad refactor, **stop and flag it as too broad** (in autonomous mode, abort this candidate and report) rather than forcing the change.

## Phase 7: Open a Pull Request

When the fix lands as a PR (always in autonomous mode; in interactive mode, after the user approves the fix):

Format:
1. **Branch safety.** Work on a dedicated branch named `claude/sentry-fix-<issue-short-id-lowercased>`. Never commit the fix onto `main`/`master`. Before creating it, check whether the branch already exists (`git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/<branch>`) — if it does, look for an existing PR (`gh pr list --head <branch> --state all`); skip the issue if a PR is already open, and stop with a clear message (never auto-delete) if the branch is orphaned.
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.** Call `update_issue` to assign the issue to yourself (the authenticated user). **Never resolve the issue from this skill** — resolution happens when the PR merges. **If the MCP is read-only** (no `update_issue` tool available), skip this assignment and the marker in step 5, and note in the Phase 8 summary that the issue could not be assigned (read-only MCP). The draft PR itself is unaffected — it uses `gh`, not the MCP.

5. **Record an agent-activity marker.** Leave a compact `sentry-agent-activity/v1` record so later automated runs and humans can audit what the agent did on this issue. Write it as an issue comment with a sentinel block `<!-- sentry-agent-activity:v1 {…} -->` if a comment tool is available, otherwise fold it into the `update_issue` reason. Skip if the MCP is read-only. Fields:

```json
{ "schema": "sentry-agent-activity/v1", "actor_name": "sentry-fix-issues",
"source": "<cron|claude-code|cursor>", "action_type": "fix_pr_opened", "issue": "<short-id>",
"confidence": "<high|medium|low from the fixability score>",
"summary": "<one line root cause>", "linked_artifacts": ["<PR URL>"],
"human_review_required": true, "timestamp": "<ISO 8601>" }
```

| Rule | Detail |
|------|--------|
| **Branch prefix** | Only ever push to a `claude/`-prefixed branch |
| **No force / no verify** | Never `git push --force`, never `--no-verify` |
| **Draft only** | Open PRs as drafts so a human reviews before merge |
| **Assign, never resolve** | `update_issue` to assign; resolution is for the merge |
| **Out-of-repo frames** | If the stack trace references files outside this repo, mark unfixable and stop — never invent file paths |
