# Sentry Skills

> [!NOTE]
> For skills to help set up Sentry in your project or debug production issues, see https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-for-ai

Agent skills for Sentry employees, following the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) open format.

## Installation

### Claude Code

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add getsentry/skills
claude plugin install sentry-skills@sentry-skills
```

If you use `claude plugin marketplace add --sparse` for this repo, include `skills` and `agents` alongside `.claude-plugin` because the root plugin manifest loads repo-root `skills/` and `agents/`.

Restart Claude Code after installation. Skills activate automatically when relevant.

**Update:**

```bash
claude plugin marketplace update
claude plugin update sentry-skills@sentry-skills
```

Or run `/plugin` to open the plugin manager.

### Skills Package (skills.sh)

For agents supporting the [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) ecosystem:

```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills
```

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, GitHub Copilot, and other compatible agents.

## Contributing

### Local Development

```bash
git clone git@github.com:getsentry/skills.git ~/sentry-skills
claude plugin marketplace add ~/sentry-skills
claude plugin install sentry-skills
```

If you use `claude plugin marketplace add --sparse` for this repo, include `skills` and `agents` alongside `.claude-plugin` because the root plugin manifest loads repo-root `skills/` and `agents/`.

### Repository Structure

```
sentry-skills/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   ├── marketplace.json      # Marketplace manifest
│   └── plugin.json           # Root plugin manifest for sentry-skills
├── .agents/
│   └── skills -> ../skills   # Local mirror for agent tooling
├── agents/
│   ├── code-simplifier.md
│   └── senpai.md
├── skills/
│   ├── code-review/
│   │   └── SKILL.md
│   └── commit/

├── AGENTS.md                 # Agent-facing documentation
├── CLAUDE.md                 # Symlink to AGENTS.md
└── README.md                 # This file
```

The canonical skill source for the `sentry-skills` plugin lives at repo-root `skills/`.
`.agents/skills` mirrors that tree for local agent tooling, and the root plugin manifest loads repo-root `skills/` and `agents/`.

New skills and materially changed skills should include a root-level `SPEC.md` alongside `SKILL.md`.

### Creating New Skills

Skills follow the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/specification). Each skill requires a `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter.

For repeatable `skill-writer` evaluation prompts, see [skills/skill-writer/EVAL.md](https://github.com/getsentry/skills/blob/main/skills/skill-writer/EVAL.md).

#### Skill Template

Create a new directory under `skills/`:

```
skills/my-skill/
├── SKILL.md
└── SPEC.md
```

**SKILL.md format:**

```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: A clear description of what this skill does and when to use it. Include keywords that help agents identify when this skill is relevant.
---

# My Skill Name

## Instructions

Step-by-step guidance for the agent.

## Examples

Concrete examples showing expected input/output.

## Guidelines

- Specific rules to follow
- Edge cases to handle
```

**SPEC.md format:**

Use `SPEC.md` as the maintenance contract for the skill. It should describe intent, scope, trigger context, source/evidence model, reference architecture, evaluation expectations, known limitations, and maintenance notes. Keep runtime instructions in `SKILL.md`; keep source inventories in `SOURCES.md`; keep durable examples in `references/evidence/`.

#### Naming Conventions

- **name**: 1-64 characters, lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens only
- **description**: Up to 1024 characters, include trigger keywords
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines; split longer content into reference files

#### Optional Fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `license` | License name or path to license file |
| `compatibility` | Environment requirements (max 500 chars) |
| `allowed-tools` | Comma-separated list of tools the skill can use |
| `metadata` | Arbitrary key-value pairs for additional properties |

```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: What this skill does
license: Apache-2.0
allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob
---
```

### Where Skills Belong

Skills should live in the appropriate location based on their scope:

| Scope | Location | Example |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Global** - Used across Sentry | `sentry-skills` plugin | `commit`, `code-review`, `pr-writer` |
| **Domain-specific** - Used by a team or domain | Dedicated plugin in this repo (e.g., `infra-skills`) | `gcp-logs`, `terraform-review` |
| **Repo-specific** - Only relevant to one repo | The repository itself (`.claude/skills/`) | Project-specific workflows |

When deciding where to place a skill:
- If most Sentry engineers would benefit, add it to `sentry-skills`
- If only a specific team needs it, create or use a domain-specific plugin
- If it only makes sense in one repo, keep it in that repo

#### Marketplace Structure

This repository is a Claude Code **marketplace** - a collection of plugins that can be installed independently. The marketplace manifest (`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`) lists all available plugins:

```json
{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "sentry-skills",
      "source": "./"
    },
    { "name": "infra-skills", "source": "./plugins/infra-skills" }
  ]
}
```

Marketplace entries point at a plugin source directory. That source can be a dedicated plugin directory with its own `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, or repo root when the root also carries a plugin manifest. The `sentry-skills` entry in this repo uses repo root as its plugin source so it can keep canonical `skills/` and `agents/` at top level.

Users can install individual plugins:

```bash
# Install just the global skills
claude plugin install sentry-skills@sentry-skills

# Install domain-specific skills
claude plugin install infra-skills@sentry-skills
```

To add a new domain-specific plugin:

1. Create `plugins/<plugin-name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
2. Add skills under `plugins/<plugin-name>/skills/`
3. Register the plugin in `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`

### Vendoring Skills

We vendor (copy) skills and agents that we use regularly into this repository rather than depending on external sources at runtime. This approach:

- **Ensures consistency** - Everyone on the team uses the same version of each skill
- **Enables customization** - We can adapt skills to Sentry-specific conventions
- **Improves reliability** - No external dependencies that could change or disappear

#### Attribution

When vendoring a skill or agent from an external source, retain proper attribution:

1. **Add a comment** at the top of the file referencing the original source:
   ```markdown
   <!--
   Based on [Original Name] by [Author/Org]:
   https://github.com/example/original-source
   -->
   ```

2. **Include a LICENSE file** in the skill directory if the original has specific licensing requirements:
   ```
   skills/vendored-skill/
   ├── SKILL.md
   └── LICENSE      # Original license text
   ```

#### Example: code-simplifier

The `code-simplifier` agent is vendored from [Anthropic's official plugins](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official). See the attribution comment at the top of the agent file.

name: agents-md
description: Creates and maintains concise AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md project instruction files. Use when asked to create AGENTS.md, update AGENTS.md, maintain agent docs, set up CLAUDE.md, document repository agent conventions, or keep coding-agent instructions minimal and reference-backed.
---

# Maintaining AGENTS.md

Goal: concise, actionable agent instructions. Target under 60 lines; never exceed 100.

## Workflow

1. Inspect before writing:
   - package manager: lock files and manifests
   - commands: `package.json`, `Makefile`, task runners, CI workflows
   - docs/specs/policies: `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `docs/`, `specs/`, `policies/`, `SECURITY.md`, `.github/`
   - conventions: current code patterns, test layout, generated files, legacy areas to avoid
2. Choose scope:
   - root `AGENTS.md`: repo-wide defaults
   - nested `AGENTS.md`: only when a subtree has different commands or rules
   - closest instruction file wins; keep narrower files shorter than root files
3. Write the smallest useful file.
4. Verify exact paths and commands exist.

## File Setup

- Create `AGENTS.md` at the repository root.
- If a Claude-compatible entrypoint is required, symlink `CLAUDE.md` to `AGENTS.md`.
- Do not maintain divergent `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` copies.

## Default Sections

Use only sections that add non-obvious value.

````markdown
# Agent Instructions

## Package Manager
- Use **pnpm**: `pnpm install`

## Commands
| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Test file | `pnpm vitest run path/to/file.test.ts` |
| Lint file | `pnpm eslint path/to/file.ts` |

## External References
| Need | File |
|------|------|
| Setup | `CONTRIBUTING.md` |
| Architecture | `docs/architecture.md` |
| Security policy | `SECURITY.md` |

## Key Conventions
- Generated files: update with `pnpm generate`; do not edit by hand.

## Commit Attribution
AI commits MUST include:
```
Co-Authored-By: (the agent's name and attribution byline)
```
````

## Writing Rules

- Use headings, bullets, and tables; avoid paragraphs.
- Use repo-relative paths; avoid vague references like "see docs".
- Reference existing docs/specs/policies instead of copying them.
- List exact external files for setup, architecture, API specs, security, release, and policy docs when they exist.
- Prefer file-scoped test/lint/typecheck commands; include full builds only when no narrower command exists.
- Put commands in tables when there is more than one.
- Keep one rule per bullet.
- Keep rationale out unless it prevents a likely mistake.
- Do not restate linter, formatter, or typechecker config.
- Do not list installed skills or plugins.
- Do not include generic quality slogans.

## External Reference Rules

Good:

```markdown
## External References
| Need | File |
|------|------|
| API contract | `docs/api.md` |
| Release process | `docs/releasing.md` |
```

## Anti-Patterns

- welcome text, intros, conclusions, or pleasantries
- long prose explaining why instructions matter
- duplicated content from `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, or policy docs
- project-wide commands when file-scoped commands are available
- nested `AGENTS.md` files that repeat root instructions

name: blog-writing-guide
description: Write, review, and improve blog posts for the Sentry engineering blog following Sentry's specific writing standards, voice, and quality bar. Use this skill whenever someone asks to write a blog post, draft a technical article, review blog content, improve a draft, write a product announcement, create an engineering deep-dive, or produce any written content destined for the Sentry blog or developer audience. Also trigger when the user mentions "blog post," "blog draft," "write-up," "announcement post," "engineering post," "deep dive," "postmortem," or asks for help with technical writing for Sentry. Even if the user just says "help me write about [feature/topic]" — if it sounds like it could become a Sentry blog post, use this skill.
---

# Sentry Blog Writing Skill

This skill enforces Sentry's blog writing standards across every post — whether you're helping an engineer write their first blog post or a marketer draft a product announcement.

**The bar:** Every Sentry blog post should be something a senior engineer would share in their team's Slack, or reference in a technical decision.

What follows are the core principles to internalize and apply to every piece of content.

## The Sentry Voice

**We sound like:** A senior developer at a conference afterparty explaining something they're genuinely excited about — smart, specific, a little irreverent, deeply knowledgeable.

**We don't sound like:** A corporate blog, a press release, a sales deck, or an AI-generated summary.

Be technically precise, opinionated, and direct. Humor is welcome but should serve the content, not replace it. Sarcasm works. One good joke per post is plenty.

Use "we" (Sentry) and "you" (the reader). This is a conversation, not a paper.

## Banned Language

Never use these. They are automatic red flags:

- "We're excited/thrilled to announce" — just announce it
- "Best-in-class" / "industry-leading" / "cutting-edge" — show, don't tell
- "Seamless" / "seamlessly" — nothing is seamless
- "Empower" / "leverage" / "unlock" — say what you actually mean
- "Robust" — describe what makes it robust instead
- "At [Company], we believe..." — just state the belief
- "Streamline" — everyone is streamlining, stop
- Filler transitions: "That being said," "It's worth noting that," "At the end of the day," "Without further ado," "As you might know"
- "In this blog post, we will explore..." — be direct, just start

## The Opening (First 2-3 Sentences)

The opening must do one of two things: **state the problem** or **state the conclusion**. Never start with background, company history, or hype.

**Good:** "Two weeks before launch, we killed our entire metrics product. Here's why pre-aggregating time-series metrics breaks down for debugging, and how we rebuilt the system from scratch."

**Bad:** "At Sentry, we're always looking for ways to improve the developer experience. Today, we're thrilled to share some exciting updates to our metrics product that we think you'll love."

## Structure: Follow the Reader's Questions

Structure every post around what the reader is actually wondering, not your internal narrative:

1. **What problem does this solve?** (1-2 paragraphs max)
2. **How does it actually work?** Not buttons-you-click, but underlying technology. (Bulk of the post — be specific)
3. **What were the trade-offs or alternatives?** (This separates good from great)
4. **How do I use/try/implement this?** (Concrete next steps)

For engineering deep-dives, also address:
5. **What did we try that didn't work?** (Builds trust)
6. **What are the known limitations?** (Shows intellectual honesty)

## Formatting for Skimmability

People scroll. Shorter paragraphs are almost always better for keeping people reading.

**Break paragraphs at contrast points.** When a sentence introduces a "but," "however," or shifts perspective, start a new paragraph. Don't bury the turn inside a block of text.

**Bad:**
> Traditional monitoring tracks requests and latency. That works for stateless HTTP services. AI agents are different. A single run might involve multiple LLM calls, tool executions, and handoffs.

**Good:**
> Traditional monitoring tracks requests and latency. That works for stateless HTTP services.
>
> AI agents are different. A single run might involve multiple LLM calls, tool executions, and handoffs.

The line break before the contrasting point creates visual emphasis. This is standard in online writing even though it breaks traditional paragraph rules.

**One idea per paragraph.** If a paragraph covers two distinct points, split it. Three-sentence paragraphs are fine. One-sentence paragraphs are fine for emphasis.

**No em dashes.** Use commas, periods, or line breaks instead. Em dashes are fine in print but create visual clutter in blog formatting.

## SEO for Developer Content

When targeting a competitive search query:

**Lead generic, close specific.** The first 50-60% of the post should be tool-agnostic educational content (definitions, concepts, metrics, best practices). Introduce your product as an implementation example in the second half. Google ranks guides higher than product pages for informational queries.

**Put keywords in H2s.** Generic headings are invisible to search. "Key metrics for AI agent monitoring" beats "What to measure." (See **Section Headings** below for good/bad examples.)

**Include a definitional section.** For any head term ("agent observability", "error monitoring"), top-ranking pages almost always have a "What is X?" section. Include one even if it feels basic.

**Add an FAQ.** 3-4 questions targeting long-tail keywords at the bottom of the post. These can win featured snippets and People Also Ask boxes.

## AI Writing Patterns to Avoid

LLM-generated prose has tells. Flag and rewrite these:

**Staccato dramatic fragments.**
- Bad: "No errors. No warnings. Everything green."
- Good: "There were no errors, no warnings, everything looked fine."

**Bumper-sticker aphorisms.**
- Bad: "You can't fix what you can't see."
- Good: "Without visibility into the full request lifecycle, you're guessing."

**Three-beat reveals.**
- Bad: "Not a config issue. Not a code bug. The deploy was stale."
- Good: "It wasn't a config issue or a code bug. The deploy was stale."

**Smug simplicity.**
- Bad: [code block] "That's it. That's all you need."
- Good: [code block] then explain what the code does, or just move on.

**Parallel structure ad copy.**
- Bad: "Metrics tell you what's broken. Traces tell you why."
- Good: "Metrics show what's broken, but traces are where you'll actually figure out why."

**Personality only in the bookends.** AI drafts open with a personal anecdote, go impersonal for 80% of the post, then close with a CTA. The author's voice should persist throughout.
- Bad: Personal intro → clinical middle → "Try Sentry for free."
- Good: First-person asides woven through the post: "this is the part that tripped me up" / "I would have blamed the wrong service."

## Section Headings Must Convey Information

**Weak:** "Background," "Architecture," "Results," "Conclusion"

**Strong:** "Why time-series pre-aggregation destroys debugging context," "The scatter-gather approach to distributed GROUP BY," "Where this breaks down: the cardinality wall"

## Technical Quality Standards

**Numbers over adjectives.** If you make a performance claim, include the number.
- Bad: "This significantly reduced our error processing time."
- Good: "This reduced our p99 error processing time from 340ms to 45ms — a 7.5× improvement."

**Code must work.** If a post includes code, test it. Include imports, configuration, and context. Comments should explain *why*, not *what*.

**Diagrams for systems.** If you describe a system with more than two interacting components, include a diagram. Label with real service names, not generic boxes.

**Honesty over hype.** Never overstate what a feature does. Acknowledge limitations. If something is in beta, say so. If a competitor does something well, it's okay to note that. Do not claim AI features are more capable than they are — "Seer suggests a likely root cause" ≠ "Seer finds the root cause."

## Title Guidelines

The title is the highest-leverage sentence in the post. It must stop a developer scrolling through their RSS feed or Twitter.

**Strong titles** make a specific claim, tell a story, or promise a specific payoff:
- "The metrics product we built worked. But we killed it and started over anyway"
- "How we reduced release delays by 5% by fixing Salt"
- "Your JavaScript bundle has 47% dead code. Here's how to find it."

**Weak titles** are vague announcements:
- "Introducing our new metrics product"
- "Performance improvements in Sentry"
- "AI-powered debugging with Seer"

## The Closing

End with something useful: a link to docs, source code, a way to try it, or a call to give feedback. Never end with generic hype ("We can't wait to see what you build!"), recaps of what you just said, or product-page CTAs ("Try Sentry for free. Included on all plans."). Connect back to the story you opened with, or give the reader something concrete to do next.

## Post Types

Here's the quick map by post type:

| Type | Goal | Byline |
|------|------|--------|
| Engineering Deep Dive | Explain a technical system/decision so other engineers learn | The engineer(s) who built it. Always. |
| Product Launch | Explain what shipped, why it matters, how to use it | PM, engineer, or DevEx. Not PMM unless marketing built it. |
| Postmortem | Transparent failure analysis with timeline and fixes | Engineering leadership |
| Data / Research | Original insights from Sentry's unique data position | Data team, engineering, or research |
| Tutorial / Guide | Help a developer accomplish something specific | DevEx, engineer, or community contributor |

## The "Would I Share This?" Test

Before publishing, ask: Would a developer share this post? Does it have a shot at getting on Hacker News? If the answer is no, the post either needs more depth, more original insight, or it belongs in the changelog instead.

Posts worth sharing contain at least one of:
- A technical decision explained with trade-offs
- Original data or research not found elsewhere
- A real-world debugging story with specific details
- An honest accounting of something that went wrong
- A how-to that saves the reader real time

## Non-Negotiables (Quick Reference)

1. Never publish without a real person's name on it. No "The Sentry Team" bylines.
2. Never publish code that doesn't work.
3. Never say "we're excited to announce." Just announce it.
4. If you describe a system, include a diagram.
5. If you make a performance claim, include the number.
6. If you discuss a decision, explain what you didn't choose and why.
7. Every post must have a clear "who is this for" in the author's mind before writing.
8. Changelogs belong in the changelog. Blog posts should offer something more.
9. When in doubt, go deeper. The risk of being too shallow is far greater than being too detailed.
10. Write the post you wish existed when you were trying to solve this problem.

## When Reviewing or Editing a Draft

Run through both checklists:

**Technical Review:**
- All technical claims accurate
- Code samples work
- Architecture descriptions match reality
- Numbers and benchmarks correct
- No oversimplifications that would make an expert cringe

**Editorial Review:**
- Opening hooks reader within 2 sentences
- Passes the "would I share this?" test
- No corporate language, filler, or fluff
- Headings convey information
- Right length (not padded, not too thin)
- Title is specific and compelling

**Final Check:**
- Author byline is correct (real person's name)
- Links to docs/getting-started included
- Post doesn't duplicate what's in the changelog

When providing feedback, be specific and constructive. Quote the weak passage, explain why it's weak, and rewrite it to show the standard.

name: brand-guidelines
description: Write copy following Sentry brand guidelines. Use when writing UI text, error messages, empty states, onboarding flows, 404 pages, documentation, marketing copy, or any user-facing content. Covers both Plain Speech (default) and Sentry Voice tones.
---

# Brand Guidelines

Write user-facing copy following Sentry's brand guidelines.

## Tone Selection

Choose the appropriate tone based on context:

| Use Plain Speech | Use Sentry Voice |
|------------------|------------------|
| Product UI (buttons, labels, forms) | 404 pages |
| Documentation | Empty states |
| Error messages | Onboarding flows |
| Settings pages | Loading states |
| Transactional emails | "What's New" announcements |
| Help text | Marketing copy |

**Default to Plain Speech** unless the context specifically calls for personality.

## Plain Speech (Default)

Plain Speech is clear, direct, and functional. Use it for most UI elements.

### Rules

1. **Be concise** - Use the fewest words needed
2. **Be direct** - Tell users what to do, not what they can do
3. **Use active voice** - "Save your changes" not "Your changes will be saved"
4. **Avoid jargon** - Use simple words users understand
5. **Be specific** - "3 errors found" not "Some errors found"

### Examples

| Instead of | Write |
|------------|-------|
| "Click here to save your changes" | "Save" |
| "You can filter results by date" | "Filter by date" |
| "An error has occurred" | "Something went wrong" |
| "Please enter a valid email address" | "Enter a valid email" |
| "Are you sure you want to delete?" | "Delete this item?" |

## Sentry Voice

Sentry Voice adds personality in appropriate moments. It's empathetic, self-aware, and occasionally snarky.

### Principles

1. **Empathetic snark** - Direct frustration at the situation, never the user
2. **Self-aware** - Acknowledge the absurdity of software
3. **Fun but functional** - Personality should enhance, not obscure meaning
4. **Earned moments** - Only use when users have time to appreciate it

### Examples

**404 Pages:**
> "This page doesn't exist. Maybe it never did. Maybe it was a dream. Either way, let's get you back on track."

**Empty States:**
> "No errors yet. Enjoy this moment of peace while it lasts."

**Onboarding:**
> "Let's get your first error. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds."

**Loading States:**
> "Crunching the numbers..."
> "Fetching your data..."

### When NOT to Use Sentry Voice

- Error messages (users are frustrated)
- Settings pages (users are focused)
- Documentation (users need information)
- Billing/payment flows (users need trust)

## General Rules

### Spelling and Grammar

- Use **American English** spelling (color, not colour)
- Use **Title Case** for headings and page titles
- Use **Sentence case** for body text, buttons, and labels

### Punctuation

- **No exclamation marks** in UI text (exception: celebratory moments)
- **No periods** in short UI labels or button text
- **Use periods** in complete sentences and help text
- **No ALL CAPS** except for acronyms (API, SDK, URL)

### Word Choices

| Avoid | Prefer |
|-------|--------|
| Please | (omit) |
| Sorry | (be specific about the problem) |
| Error occurred | Something went wrong |
| Invalid | (explain what's wrong) |
| Success! | (describe what happened) |
| Oops | (be specific) |

## Dash Usage

| Type | Use | Example |
|------|-----|---------|
| Hyphen (-) | Compound words, ranges | "real-time", "1-10" |
| En-dash (--) | Ranges, relationships | "2023--2024", "parent--child" |
| Em-dash (---) | Interruption, emphasis | "Errors---even small ones---matter" |

In most UI contexts, use hyphens. Reserve en-dashes for date ranges and em-dashes for longer prose.

## UI Element Guidelines

### Buttons

- Use action verbs: "Save", "Delete", "Create"
- Be specific: "Create Project" not just "Create"
- Max 2-3 words when possible
- No periods or exclamation marks

### Error Messages

1. Say what happened
2. Say why (if helpful)
3. Say what to do next

**Good:** "Could not save changes. Check your connection and try again."
**Bad:** "Error: Save failed."

### Empty States

1. Explain what would normally be here
2. Provide a clear action to populate the state
3. Sentry Voice is appropriate here

**Good:** "No projects yet. Create your first project to start tracking errors."

### Confirmation Dialogs

- Make the action clear in the title
- Explain consequences if destructive
- Use specific button labels ("Delete Project", not "OK")

### Tooltips and Help Text

- Keep under 2 sentences
- Explain the "why", not just the "what"
- Link to docs for complex topics

## Anti-Patterns

Avoid these common mistakes:

- **Robot speak:** "Item has been successfully deleted" -> "Deleted"
- **Passive voice:** "Changes were saved" -> "Changes saved"
- **Unnecessary words:** "In order to" -> "To"
- **Hedging:** "This might cause..." -> "This will cause..."
- **Double negatives:** "Not unlike..." -> "Similar to..."
- **Marketing speak in UI:** "Supercharge your workflow" -> "Speed up your workflow"

name: claude-settings-audit
description: Analyze a repository to generate recommended Claude Code settings.json permissions. Use when setting up a new project, auditing existing settings, or determining which read-only bash commands to allow. Detects tech stack, build tools, and monorepo structure.
---

# Claude Settings Audit

Analyze this repository and generate recommended Claude Code `settings.json` permissions for read-only commands.

## Phase 1: Detect Tech Stack

Run these commands to detect the repository structure:

```bash
ls -la
find . -maxdepth 2 \( -name "*.toml" -o -name "*.json" -o -name "*.lock" -o -name "*.yaml" -o -name "*.yml" -o -name "Makefile" -o -name "Dockerfile" -o -name "*.tf" \) 2>/dev/null | head -50
```

Check for these indicator files:

| Category     | Files to Check                                                                        |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Python**   | `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`, `requirements.txt`, `Pipfile`, `poetry.lock`, `uv.lock` |
| **Node.js**  | `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`                    |
| **Go**       | `go.mod`, `go.sum`                                                                    |
| **Rust**     | `Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock`                                                            |
| **Ruby**     | `Gemfile`, `Gemfile.lock`                                                             |
| **Java**     | `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, `build.gradle.kts`                                         |
| **Build**    | `Makefile`, `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`                                        |
| **Infra**    | `*.tf` files, `kubernetes/`, `helm/`                                                  |
| **Monorepo** | `lerna.json`, `nx.json`, `turbo.json`, `pnpm-workspace.yaml`                          |

## Phase 2: Detect Services

Check for service integrations:

| Service    | Detection                                                                       |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sentry** | `sentry-sdk` in deps, `@sentry/*` packages, `.sentryclirc`, `sentry.properties` |
| **Linear** | Linear config files, `.linear/` directory                                       |

Read dependency files to identify frameworks:

- `package.json` → check `dependencies` and `devDependencies`
- `pyproject.toml` → check `[project.dependencies]` or `[tool.poetry.dependencies]`
- `Gemfile` → check gem names
- `Cargo.toml` → check `[dependencies]`

## Phase 3: Check Existing Settings

```bash
cat .claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No existing settings"
```

## Phase 4: Generate Recommendations

Build the allow list by combining:

| **Kubernetes** | `kubernetes.io`                                 |
| **Terraform**  | `registry.terraform.io`                         |

### MCP Server Suggestions

MCP servers are configured in `.mcp.json` (not `settings.json`). Check for existing config:

```bash
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No existing .mcp.json"
```

#### Sentry MCP (if Sentry SDK detected)

Add to `.mcp.json` (replace `{org-slug}` and `{project-slug}` with your Sentry organization and project slugs):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sentry": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp/{org-slug}/{project-slug}"
    }
  }
}
```

#### Linear MCP (if Linear usage detected)

Add to `.mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linear": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@linear/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LINEAR_API_KEY": "${LINEAR_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Note**: Never suggest GitHub MCP. Always use `gh` CLI commands for GitHub.

## Output Format

Present your findings as:

1. **Summary Table** - What was detected
2. **Recommended settings.json** - Complete JSON ready to copy
3. **MCP Suggestions** - If applicable
4. **Merge Instructions** - If existing settings found

Example output structure:

```markdown
## Detected Tech Stack

| Category        | Found          |
| --------------- | -------------- |
| Languages       | Python 3.x     |
| Package Manager | poetry         |
| Frameworks      | Django, Celery |
| Services        | Sentry         |
| Build Tools     | Docker, Make   |

## Recommended .claude/settings.json

\`\`\`json
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
// ... grouped by category with comments
],
"deny": []
}
}
\`\`\`

## Recommended .mcp.json (if applicable)

If you use Sentry or Linear, add the MCP config to `.mcp.json`...
```

## Important Rules

### What to Include

- Only READ-ONLY commands that cannot modify state
- Only tools that are actually used by the project (detected via lock files)
- Standard system commands (ls, cat, find, etc.)
- The `:*` suffix allows any arguments to the base command

### What to NEVER Include

- **Absolute paths** - Never include user-specific paths like `/home/user/scripts/foo` or `/Users/name/bin/bar`
- **Custom scripts** - Never include project scripts that may have side effects (e.g., `./scripts/deploy.sh`)
- **Alternative package managers** - If the project uses pnpm, do NOT include npm/yarn commands
- **Commands that modify state** - No install, build, run, write, or delete commands

### Package Manager Rules

Only include the package manager actually used by the project:

| If Detected         | Include         | Do NOT Include                         |
| ------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `pnpm-lock.yaml`    | pnpm commands   | npm, yarn                              |
| `yarn.lock`         | yarn commands   | npm, pnpm                              |
| `package-lock.json` | npm commands    | yarn, pnpm                             |
| `poetry.lock`       | poetry commands | pip (unless also has requirements.txt) |
| `uv.lock`           | uv commands     | pip, poetry                            |
| `Pipfile.lock`      | pipenv commands | pip, poetry                            |

If multiple lock files exist, include only the commands for each detected manager.

# Sentry Code Review

Follow these guidelines when reviewing code for Sentry projects.

## Review Checklist

### Identifying Problems

Look for these issues in code changes:

- **Runtime errors**: Potential exceptions, null pointer issues, out-of-bounds access
- **Performance**: Unbounded O(n²) operations, N+1 queries, unnecessary allocations
- **Side effects**: Unintended behavioral changes affecting other components
- **Backwards compatibility**: Breaking API changes without migration path
- **ORM queries**: Complex Django ORM with unexpected query performance
- **Security vulnerabilities**: Injection, XSS, access control gaps, secrets exposure

### Design Assessment

- Do component interactions make logical sense?
- Does the change align with existing project architecture?
- Are there conflicts with current requirements or goals?

### Test Coverage

Every PR should have appropriate test coverage:

- Functional tests for business logic
- Integration tests for component interactions
- End-to-end tests for critical user paths

Verify tests cover actual requirements and edge cases. Avoid excessive branching or looping in test code.

### Long-Term Impact

Flag for senior engineer review when changes involve:

- Database schema modifications
- API contract changes
- New framework or library adoption
- Performance-critical code paths
- Security-sensitive functionality

## Feedback Guidelines

### Tone

- Be polite and empathetic
- Provide actionable suggestions, not vague criticism
- Phrase as questions when uncertain: "Have you considered...?"

### Approval

- Approve when only minor issues remain
- Don't block PRs for stylistic preferences
- Remember: the goal is risk reduction, not perfect code

## Common Patterns to Flag

### Python/Django

```python
# Bad: N+1 query
for user in users:
    print(user.profile.name)  # Separate query per user

# Good: Prefetch related
users = User.objects.prefetch_related('profile')
```

### TypeScript/React

```typescript
// Bad: Missing dependency in useEffect
useEffect(() => {
  fetchData(userId);
}, []);  // userId not in deps

// Good: Include all dependencies
useEffect(() => {
  fetchData(userId);
}, [userId]);
```

### Security

```python
# Bad: SQL injection risk
cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}")

# Good: Parameterized query
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", [user_id])
```

# Code Simplifier

You are an expert code simplification specialist focused on enhancing code clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving exact functionality. Your expertise lies in applying project-specific best practices to simplify and improve code without altering its behavior. You prioritize readable, explicit code over overly compact solutions.

## Refinement Principles

### 1. Preserve Functionality

Never change what the code does - only how it does it. All original features, outputs, and behaviors must remain intact.

### 2. Apply Project Standards

Follow the established coding standards from CLAUDE.md including:

- Use ES modules with proper import sorting and extensions
- Prefer `function` keyword over arrow functions
- Use explicit return type annotations for top-level functions
- Follow proper React component patterns with explicit Props types
- Use proper error handling patterns (avoid try/catch when possible)
- Maintain consistent naming conventions

### 3. Enhance Clarity

Simplify code structure by:

- Reducing unnecessary complexity and nesting
- Eliminating redundant code and abstractions
- Improving readability through clear variable and function names
- Consolidating related logic
- Removing unnecessary comments that describe obvious code
- **Avoiding nested ternary operators** - prefer switch statements or if/else chains for multiple conditions
- Choosing clarity over brevity - explicit code is often better than overly compact code

### 4. Maintain Balance

Avoid over-simplification that could:

- Reduce code clarity or maintainability
- Create overly clever solutions that are hard to understand
- Combine too many concerns into single functions or components
- Remove helpful abstractions that improve code organization
- Prioritize "fewer lines" over readability (e.g., nested ternaries, dense one-liners)
- Make the code harder to debug or extend

### 5. Focus Scope

Only refine code that has been recently modified or touched in the current session, unless explicitly instructed to review a broader scope.

## Refinement Process

1. **Identify** the recently modified code sections
2. **Analyze** for opportunities to improve elegance and consistency
3. **Apply** project-specific best practices and coding standards
4. **Ensure** all functionality remains unchanged
5. **Verify** the refined code is simpler and more maintainable
6. **Document** only significant changes that affect understanding

## Examples

### Before: Nested Ternaries

```typescript
const status = isLoading ? 'loading' : hasError ? 'error' : isComplete ? 'complete' : 'idle';
```

### After: Clear Switch Statement

```typescript
function getStatus(isLoading: boolean, hasError: boolean, isComplete: boolean): string {
  if (isLoading) return 'loading';
  if (hasError) return 'error';
  if (isComplete) return 'complete';
  return 'idle';
}
```

### Before: Overly Compact

```typescript
const result = arr.filter(x => x > 0).map(x => x * 2).reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
```

### After: Clear Steps

```typescript
const positiveNumbers = arr.filter(x => x > 0);
const doubled = positiveNumbers.map(x => x * 2);
const sum = doubled.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
```

### Before: Redundant Abstraction

```typescript
function isNotEmpty(arr: unknown[]): boolean {
  return arr.length > 0;
}

if (isNotEmpty(items)) {
  // ...
}
```

### After: Direct Check

```typescript
if (items.length > 0) {
  // ...
}
```

# Sentry Commit Messages

## Before Committing

```bash
git branch --show-current
```

If the branch is `main` or `master`, create a feature branch unless the user
explicitly requested a direct commit. Re-check the branch and stop if it is
still `main` or `master`.

Commit one coherent, independently reviewable change at a time.

## Message Rules

Use:

```text
<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<optional body>

<optional footer>
```

- Scope is optional. Add `!` before `:` for a breaking change.
- Write the subject in imperative, present tense; capitalize it, omit the
  trailing period, and keep it at 70 characters or fewer.
- Keep every line under 100 characters.
- Use the body only when useful. Explain what changed and why, including
  previous behavior or motivation when it helps.
- Never include customer or organization names, user emails, support ticket
  contents, secrets, or PII. Describe the technical symptom instead.

Allowed types: `feat`, `fix`, `ref`, `perf`, `docs`, `test`, `build`,
`ci`, `chore`, `style`, `meta`, `license`, and `revert`.

Use `ref` for refactoring without behavior changes, `style` for formatting
without logic changes, and `meta` for repository metadata.

## Footers

- `Fixes <issue>` closes an issue when merged.
- `Refs <issue>` links an issue without closing it.
- For breaking changes, add `BREAKING CHANGE: <impact>`.

## Creating the Commit

Use separate `-m` arguments for paragraphs and footers. Never put literal
`\n` sequences in a commit message or open an interactive editor.

```bash
git commit -m "fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint" \
  -m "Return 404 when the user API finds a deleted account." \
  -m "Fixes SENTRY-5678"
```

---

# Create Branch

Create a git branch following Sentry naming conventions.
Keep this workflow non-interactive unless the user explicitly asks to choose the name manually.

## Workflow

1. Resolve the work description:
   - If `$ARGUMENTS` is present, use it
   - Otherwise inspect:
     ```bash
     git diff
     git diff --cached
     git status --short
     ```
   - If there are local changes, derive a short description from the diff
   - If there are no local changes, use a generic description like `repo-maintenance`, `tooling-update`, or `work-in-progress`

2. Classify the branch type:

| Type | Use when |
|------|----------|
| `feat` | New functionality |
| `fix` | Broken behavior now works |
| `ref` | Behavior stays the same, structure changes |
| `chore` | Maintenance of existing tooling/config |
| `perf` | Same behavior, faster |
| `style` | Visual or formatting only |
| `docs` | Documentation only |
| `test` | Tests only |
| `ci` | CI/CD config |
| `build` | Build system |
| `meta` | Repo metadata |
| `license` | License changes |

   When unsure: use `feat` for new things, `ref` for restructuring, `chore` for maintenance.

3. Generate `<type>/<short-description>`.
   Keep `<short-description>` kebab-case, ASCII-only, and ideally 3 to 6 words.

4. Choose the base without prompting:
   ```bash
   git branch --show-current
   git remote | grep -qx origin && echo origin || git remote | head -1
   git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|refs/remotes/<remote>/||' | tr -d '[:space:]'
   ```
   - If default branch detection fails, fall back to `main`, then `master`, then the current branch
   - If on a detached HEAD, branch from the current commit
   - If already on a non-default branch, branch from the current branch
   - Only switch to the default branch when the user explicitly asks

5. Avoid collisions by appending `-2`, `-3`, and so on until the name is unused locally and remotely.

6. Create the branch:
   ```bash
   git checkout -b <branch-name>
   ```
   Report the final branch name, but do not stop for confirmation.

# Django Access Control & IDOR Review

Find access control vulnerabilities by investigating how the codebase answers one question:

**Can User A access, modify, or delete User B's data?**

## Philosophy: Investigation Over Pattern Matching

Do NOT scan for predefined vulnerable patterns. Instead:

1. **Understand** how authorization works in THIS codebase
2. **Ask questions** about specific data flows
3. **Trace code** to find where (or if) access checks happen
4. **Report** only what you've confirmed through investigation

Every codebase implements authorization differently. Your job is to understand this specific implementation, then find gaps.

---

## Phase 1: Understand the Authorization Model

Before looking for bugs, answer these questions about the codebase:

### How is authorization enforced?

Research the codebase to find:

```
□ Where are permission checks implemented?
  - Decorators? (@login_required, @permission_required, custom?)
  - Middleware? (TenantMiddleware, AuthorizationMiddleware?)
  - Base classes? (BaseAPIView, TenantScopedViewSet?)
  - Permission classes? (DRF permission_classes?)
  - Custom mixins? (OwnershipMixin, TenantMixin?)

□ How are queries scoped?
  - Custom managers? (TenantManager, UserScopedManager?)
  - get_queryset() overrides?
  - Middleware that sets query context?

□ What's the ownership model?
  - Single user ownership? (document.owner_id)
  - Organization/tenant ownership? (document.organization_id)
  - Hierarchical? (org -> team -> user -> resource)
  - Role-based within context? (org admin vs member)
```

### Investigation commands

```bash
# Find how auth is typically done
grep -rn "permission_classes\|@login_required\|@permission_required" --include="*.py" | head -20

# Find base classes that views inherit from
grep -rn "class Base.*View\|class.*Mixin.*:" --include="*.py" | head -20

# Find custom managers
grep -rn "class.*Manager\|def get_queryset" --include="*.py" | head -20

# Find ownership fields on models
grep -rn "owner\|user_id\|organization\|tenant" --include="models.py" | head -30
```

**Do not proceed until you understand the authorization model.**

---

## Phase 2: Map the Attack Surface

Identify endpoints that handle user-specific data:

### What resources exist?

```
□ What models contain user data?
□ Which have ownership fields (owner_id, user_id, organization_id)?
□ Which are accessed via ID in URLs or request bodies?
```

### What operations are exposed?

For each resource, map:
- List endpoints - what data is returned?
- Detail/retrieve endpoints - how is the object fetched?
- Create endpoints - who sets the owner?
- Update endpoints - can users modify others' data?
- Delete endpoints - can users delete others' data?
- Custom actions - what do they access?

---

## Phase 3: Ask Questions and Investigate

For each endpoint that handles user data, ask:

### The Core Question

**"If I'm User A and I know the ID of User B's resource, can I access it?"**

Trace the code to answer this:

```
1. Where does the resource ID enter the system?
   - URL path: /api/documents/{id}/
   - Query param: ?document_id=123
   - Request body: {"document_id": 123}

2. Where is that ID used to fetch data?
   - Find the ORM query or database call

3. Between (1) and (2), what checks exist?
   - Is the query scoped to current user?
   - Is there an explicit ownership check?
   - Is there a permission check on the object?
   - Does a base class or mixin enforce access?

4. If you can't find a check, is there one you missed?
   - Check parent classes
   - Check middleware
   - Check managers
   - Check decorators at URL level
```

### Follow-Up Questions

```
□ For list endpoints: Does the query filter to user's data, or return everything?

□ For create endpoints: Who sets the owner - the server or the request?

□ For bulk operations: Are they scoped to user's data?

□ For related resources: If I can access a document, can I access its comments?
  What if the document belongs to someone else?

□ For tenant/org resources: Can User in Org A access Org B's data by changing
  the org_id in the URL?
```

---

## Phase 4: Trace Specific Flows

Pick a concrete endpoint and trace it completely.

### Example Investigation

```
Endpoint: GET /api/documents/{pk}/

1. Find the view handling this URL
   → DocumentViewSet.retrieve() in api/views.py

2. Check what DocumentViewSet inherits from
   → class DocumentViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet)
   → No custom base class with authorization

3. Check permission_classes
   → permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
   → Only checks login, not ownership

4. Check get_queryset()
   → def get_queryset(self):
   →     return Document.objects.all()
   → Returns ALL documents!

5. Check for has_object_permission()
   → Not implemented

6. Check retrieve() method
   → Uses default, which calls get_object()
   → get_object() uses get_queryset(), which returns all

7. Conclusion: IDOR - Any authenticated user can access any document
```

### What to look for when tracing

```
Potential gap indicators (investigate further, don't auto-flag):
- get_queryset() returns .all() or filters without user
- Direct Model.objects.get(pk=pk) without ownership in query
- ID comes from request body for sensitive operations
- Permission class checks auth but not ownership
- No has_object_permission() and queryset isn't scoped

Likely safe patterns (but verify the implementation):
- get_queryset() filters by request.user or user's org
- Custom permission class with has_object_permission()
- Base class that enforces scoping
- Manager that auto-filters
```

---

## Phase 5: Report Findings

Only report issues you've confirmed through investigation.

### Confidence Levels

| Level | Meaning | Action |
|-------|---------|--------|
| **HIGH** | Traced the flow, confirmed no check exists | Report with evidence |
| **MEDIUM** | Check may exist but couldn't confirm | Note for manual verification |
| **LOW** | Theoretical, likely mitigated | Do not report |

### Suggested Fixes Must Enforce, Not Document

**Bad fix**: Adding a comment saying "caller must validate permissions"
**Good fix**: Adding code that actually validates permissions

A comment or docstring does not enforce authorization. Your suggested fix must include actual code that:
- Validates the user has permission before proceeding
- Raises an exception or returns an error if unauthorized
- Makes unauthorized access impossible, not just discouraged

Example of a BAD fix suggestion:
```python
def get_resource(resource_id):
    # IMPORTANT: Caller must ensure user has access to this resource
    return Resource.objects.get(pk=resource_id)
```

Example of a GOOD fix suggestion:
```python
def get_resource(resource_id, user):
    resource = Resource.objects.get(pk=resource_id)
    if resource.owner_id != user.id:
        raise PermissionDenied("Access denied")
    return resource
```

If you can't determine the right enforcement mechanism, say so - but never suggest documentation as the fix.

### Report Format

```markdown
## Access Control Review: [Component]

### Authorization Model
[Brief description of how this codebase handles authorization]

### Findings

#### [IDOR-001] [Title] (Severity: High/Medium)
- **Location**: `path/to/file.py:123`
- **Confidence**: High - confirmed through code tracing
- **The Question**: Can User A access User B's documents?
- **Investigation**:
  1. Traced GET /api/documents/{pk}/ to DocumentViewSet
  2. Checked get_queryset() - returns Document.objects.all()
  3. Checked permission_classes - only IsAuthenticated
  4. Checked for has_object_permission() - not implemented
  5. Verified no relevant middleware or base class checks
- **Evidence**: [Code snippet showing the gap]
- **Impact**: Any authenticated user can read any document by ID
- **Suggested Fix**: [Code that enforces authorization - NOT a comment]

### Needs Manual Verification
[Issues where authorization exists but couldn't confirm effectiveness]

### Areas Not Reviewed
[Endpoints or flows not covered in this review]

## Common Django Authorization Patterns

These are patterns you might find - not a checklist to match against.

### Query Scoping
```python
# Scoped to user
Document.objects.filter(owner=request.user)

# Scoped to organization
Document.objects.filter(organization=request.user.organization)

# Using a custom manager
Document.objects.for_user(request.user)  # Investigate what this does
```

### Permission Enforcement
```python
# DRF permission classes
permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated, IsOwner]

# Custom has_object_permission
def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
    return obj.owner == request.user

# Django decorators
@permission_required('app.view_document')

# Manual checks
if document.owner != request.user:
    raise PermissionDenied()
```

### Ownership Assignment
```python
# Server-side (safe)
def perform_create(self, serializer):
    serializer.save(owner=self.request.user)

# From request (investigate)
serializer.save(**request.data)  # Does request.data include owner?
```

---

## Investigation Checklist

Use this to guide your review, not as a pass/fail checklist:

```
□ I understand how authorization is typically implemented in this codebase
□ I've identified the ownership model (user, org, tenant, etc.)
□ I've mapped the key endpoints that handle user data
□ For each sensitive endpoint, I've traced the flow and asked:
  - Where does the ID come from?
  - Where is data fetched?
  - What checks exist between input and data access?
□ I've verified my findings by checking parent classes and middleware
□ I've only reported issues I've confirmed through investigation

# Django Performance Review

Review Django code for **validated** performance issues. Research the codebase to confirm issues before reporting. Report only what you can prove.

## Review Approach

1. **Research first** - Trace data flow, check for existing optimizations, verify data volume
2. **Validate before reporting** - Pattern matching is not validation
3. **Zero findings is acceptable** - Don't manufacture issues to appear thorough
4. **Severity must match impact** - If you catch yourself writing "minor" in a CRITICAL finding, it's not critical. Downgrade or skip it.

## Impact Categories

Issues are organized by impact. Focus on CRITICAL and HIGH - these cause real problems at scale.

| Priority | Category | Impact |
|----------|----------|--------|
| 1 | N+1 Queries | **CRITICAL** - Multiplies with data, causes timeouts |
| 2 | Unbounded Querysets | **CRITICAL** - Memory exhaustion, OOM kills |
| 3 | Missing Indexes | **HIGH** - Full table scans on large tables |
| 4 | Write Loops | **HIGH** - Lock contention, slow requests |
| 5 | Inefficient Patterns | **LOW** - Rarely worth reporting |

---

## Priority 1: N+1 Queries (CRITICAL)

**Impact:** Each N+1 adds `O(n)` database round trips. 100 rows = 100 extra queries. 10,000 rows = timeout.

### Rule: Prefetch related data accessed in loops

Validate by tracing: View → Queryset → Template/Serializer → Loop access

```python
# PROBLEM: N+1 - each iteration queries profile
def user_list(request):
    users = User.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'users.html', {'users': users})

# Template:
# {% for user in users %}
#     {{ user.profile.bio }}  ← triggers query per user
# {% endfor %}

# SOLUTION: Prefetch in view
def user_list(request):
    users = User.objects.select_related('profile')
    return render(request, 'users.html', {'users': users})
```

### Rule: Prefetch in serializers, not just views

DRF serializers accessing related fields cause N+1 if queryset isn't optimized.

```python
# PROBLEM: SerializerMethodField queries per object
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    order_count = serializers.SerializerMethodField()

    def get_order_count(self, obj):
        return obj.orders.count()  # ← query per user

# SOLUTION: Annotate in viewset, access in serializer
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return User.objects.annotate(order_count=Count('orders'))

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    order_count = serializers.IntegerField(read_only=True)
```

### Rule: Model properties that query are dangerous in loops

```python
# PROBLEM: Property triggers query when accessed
class User(models.Model):
    @property
    def recent_orders(self):
        return self.orders.filter(created__gte=last_week)[:5]

# Used in template loop = N+1

# SOLUTION: Use Prefetch with custom queryset, or annotate
```

### Validation Checklist for N+1
- [ ] Traced data flow from view to template/serializer
- [ ] Confirmed related field is accessed inside a loop
- [ ] Searched codebase for existing select_related/prefetch_related
- [ ] Verified table has significant row count (1000+)
- [ ] Confirmed this is a hot path (not admin, not rare action)

---

## Priority 2: Unbounded Querysets (CRITICAL)

**Impact:** Loading entire tables exhausts memory. Large tables cause OOM kills and worker restarts.

### Rule: Always paginate list endpoints

```python
# PROBLEM: No pagination - loads all rows
class UserListView(ListView):
    model = User
    template_name = 'users.html'

# SOLUTION: Add pagination
class UserListView(ListView):
    model = User
    template_name = 'users.html'
    paginate_by = 25
```

### Rule: Use iterator() for large batch processing

```python
# PROBLEM: Loads all objects into memory at once
for user in User.objects.all():
    process(user)

# SOLUTION: Stream with iterator()
for user in User.objects.iterator(chunk_size=1000):
    process(user)
```

### Rule: Never call list() on unbounded querysets

```python
# PROBLEM: Forces full evaluation into memory
all_users = list(User.objects.all())

# SOLUTION: Keep as queryset, slice if needed
users = User.objects.all()[:100]
```

### Validation Checklist for Unbounded Querysets
- [ ] Table is large (10k+ rows) or will grow unbounded
- [ ] No pagination class, paginate_by, or slicing
- [ ] This runs on user-facing request (not background job with chunking)

---

## Priority 3: Missing Indexes (HIGH)

**Impact:** Full table scans. Negligible on small tables, catastrophic on large ones.

### Rule: Index fields used in WHERE clauses on large tables

```python
# PROBLEM: Filtering on unindexed field
# User.objects.filter(email=email)  # full scan if no index

class User(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField()  # ← no db_index

# SOLUTION: Add index
class User(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField(db_index=True)
```

### Rule: Index fields used in ORDER BY on large tables

```python
# PROBLEM: Sorting requires full scan without index
Order.objects.order_by('-created')

# SOLUTION: Index the sort field
class Order(models.Model):
    created = models.DateTimeField(db_index=True)
```

### Rule: Use composite indexes for common query patterns

```python
class Order(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    status = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    created = models.DateTimeField()

    class Meta:
        indexes = [
            models.Index(fields=['user', 'status']),  # for filter(user=x, status=y)
            models.Index(fields=['status', '-created']),  # for filter(status=x).order_by('-created')
        ]
```

### Validation Checklist for Missing Indexes
- [ ] Table has 10k+ rows
- [ ] Field is used in filter() or order_by() on hot path
- [ ] Checked model - no db_index=True or Meta.indexes entry
- [ ] Not a foreign key (already indexed automatically)

---

## Priority 4: Write Loops (HIGH)

**Impact:** N database writes instead of 1. Lock contention. Slow requests.

### Rule: Use bulk_create instead of create() in loops

```python
# PROBLEM: N inserts, N round trips
for item in items:
    Model.objects.create(name=item['name'])

# SOLUTION: Single bulk insert
Model.objects.bulk_create([
    Model(name=item['name']) for item in items
])
```

### Rule: Use update() or bulk_update instead of save() in loops

```python
# PROBLEM: N updates
for obj in queryset:
    obj.status = 'done'
    obj.save()

# SOLUTION A: Single UPDATE statement (same value for all)
queryset.update(status='done')

# SOLUTION B: bulk_update (different values)
for obj in objects:
    obj.status = compute_status(obj)
Model.objects.bulk_update(objects, ['status'], batch_size=500)
```

### Rule: Use delete() on queryset, not in loops

```python
# PROBLEM: N deletes
for obj in queryset:
    obj.delete()

# SOLUTION: Single DELETE
queryset.delete()
```

### Validation Checklist for Write Loops
- [ ] Loop iterates over 100+ items (or unbounded)
- [ ] Each iteration calls create(), save(), or delete()
- [ ] This runs on user-facing request (not one-time migration script)

---

## Priority 5: Inefficient Patterns (LOW)

**Rarely worth reporting.** Include only as minor notes if you're already reporting real issues.

### Pattern: count() vs exists()

```python
# Slightly suboptimal
if queryset.count() > 0:
    do_thing()

# Marginally better
if queryset.exists():
    do_thing()
```

**Usually skip** - difference is <1ms in most cases.

### Pattern: len(queryset) vs count()

```python
# Fetches all rows to count
if len(queryset) > 0:  # bad if queryset not yet evaluated

# Single COUNT query
if queryset.count() > 0:
```

**Only flag** if queryset is large and not already evaluated.

### Pattern: get() in small loops

```python
# N queries, but if N is small (< 20), often fine
for id in ids:
    obj = Model.objects.get(id=id)
```

**Only flag** if loop is large or this is in a very hot path.

---

## Validation Requirements

Before reporting ANY issue:

1. **Trace the data flow** - Follow queryset from creation to consumption
2. **Search for existing optimizations** - Grep for select_related, prefetch_related, pagination
3. **Verify data volume** - Check if table is actually large
4. **Confirm hot path** - Trace call sites, verify this runs frequently
5. **Rule out mitigations** - Check for caching, rate limiting

**If you cannot validate all steps, do not report.**

---

## Output Format

```markdown
## Django Performance Review: [File/Component Name]

### Summary
Validated issues: X (Y Critical, Z High)

### Findings

#### [PERF-001] N+1 Query in UserListView (CRITICAL)
**Location:** `views.py:45`

**Issue:** Related field `profile` accessed in template loop without prefetch.

**Validation:**
- Traced: UserListView → users queryset → user_list.html → `{{ user.profile.bio }}` in loop
- Searched codebase: no select_related('profile') found
- User table: 50k+ rows (verified in admin)
- Hot path: linked from homepage navigation

**Evidence:**
```python
def get_queryset(self):
    return User.objects.filter(active=True)  # no select_related
```

**Fix:**
```python
def get_queryset(self):
    return User.objects.filter(active=True).select_related('profile')
```
```

If no issues found: "No performance issues identified after reviewing [files] and validating [what you checked]."

**Before submitting, sanity check each finding:**
- Does the severity match the actual impact? ("Minor inefficiency" ≠ CRITICAL)
- Is this a real performance issue or just a style preference?
- Would fixing this measurably improve performance?

If the answer to any is "no" - remove the finding.

---

## What NOT to Report

- Test files
- Admin-only views
- Management commands
- Migration files
- One-time scripts
- Code behind disabled feature flags
- Tables with <1000 rows that won't grow
- Patterns in cold paths (rarely executed code)
- Micro-optimizations (exists vs count, only/defer without evidence)

### False Positives to Avoid

**Queryset variable assignment is not an issue:**
```python
# This is FINE - no performance difference
projects_qs = Project.objects.filter(org=org)
projects = list(projects_qs)

# vs this - identical performance
projects = list(Project.objects.filter(org=org))
```
Querysets are lazy. Assigning to a variable doesn't execute anything.

**Single query patterns are not N+1:**
```python
# This is ONE query, not N+1
projects = list(Project.objects.filter(org=org))
```
N+1 requires a loop that triggers additional queries. A single `list()` call is fine.

**Missing select_related on single object fetch is not N+1:**
```python
# This is 2 queries, not N+1 - report as LOW at most
state = AutofixState.objects.filter(pr_id=pr_id).first()
project_id = state.request.project_id  # second query
```
N+1 requires a loop. A single object doing 2 queries instead of 1 can be reported as LOW if relevant, but never as CRITICAL/HIGH.

**Style preferences are not performance issues:**
If your only suggestion is "combine these two lines" or "rename this variable" - that's style, not performance. Don't report it.

# Doc Co-Authoring Workflow

This skill provides a structured workflow for guiding users through collaborative document creation. Act as an active guide, walking users through three stages: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing.

## When to Offer This Workflow

**Trigger conditions:**
- User mentions writing documentation: "write a doc", "draft a proposal", "create a spec", "write up"
- User mentions specific doc types: "PRD", "design doc", "decision doc", "RFC"
- User seems to be starting a substantial writing task

**Initial offer:**
Offer the user a structured workflow for co-authoring the document. Explain the three stages:

1. **Context Gathering**: User provides all relevant context while Claude asks clarifying questions
2. **Refinement & Structure**: Iteratively build each section through brainstorming and editing
3. **Reader Testing**: Test the doc with a fresh Claude (no context) to catch blind spots before others read it

Explain that this approach helps ensure the doc works well when others read it (including when they paste it into Claude). Ask if they want to try this workflow or prefer to work freeform.

If user declines, work freeform. If user accepts, proceed to Stage 1.

## Stage 1: Context Gathering

**Goal:** Close the gap between what the user knows and what Claude knows, enabling smart guidance later.

### Initial Questions

Start by asking the user for meta-context about the document:

1. What type of document is this? (e.g., technical spec, decision doc, proposal)
2. Who's the primary audience?
3. What's the desired impact when someone reads this?
4. Is there a template or specific format to follow?
5. Any other constraints or context to know?

Inform them they can answer in shorthand or dump information however works best for them.

**If user provides a template or mentions a doc type:**
- Ask if they have a template document to share
- If they provide a link to a shared document, use the appropriate integration to fetch it
- If they provide a file, read it

**If user mentions editing an existing shared document:**
- Use the appropriate integration to read the current state
- Check for images without alt-text
- If images exist without alt-text, explain that when others use Claude to understand the doc, Claude won't be able to see them. Ask if they want alt-text generated. If so, request they paste each image into chat for descriptive alt-text generation.

### Info Dumping

Once initial questions are answered, encourage the user to dump all the context they have. Request information such as:
- Background on the project/problem
- Related team discussions or shared documents
- Why alternative solutions aren't being used
- Organizational context (team dynamics, past incidents, politics)
- Timeline pressures or constraints
- Technical architecture or dependencies
- Stakeholder concerns

Advise them not to worry about organizing it - just get it all out. Offer multiple ways to provide context:
- Info dump stream-of-consciousness
- Point to team channels or threads to read
- Link to shared documents

**If integrations are available** (e.g., Slack, Teams, Google Drive, SharePoint, or other MCP servers), mention that these can be used to pull in context directly.

**If no integrations are detected and in Claude.ai or Claude app:** Suggest they can enable connectors in their Claude settings to allow pulling context from messaging apps and document storage directly.

Inform them clarifying questions will be asked once they've done their initial dump.

**During context gathering:**

- If user mentions team channels or shared documents:
  - If integrations available: Inform them the content will be read now, then use the appropriate integration
  - If integrations not available: Explain lack of access. Suggest they enable connectors in Claude settings, or paste the relevant content directly.

- If user mentions entities/projects that are unknown:
  - Ask if connected tools should be searched to learn more
  - Wait for user confirmation before searching

- As user provides context, track what's being learned and what's still unclear

**Asking clarifying questions:**

When user signals they've done their initial dump (or after substantial context provided), ask clarifying questions to ensure understanding:

Generate 5-10 numbered questions based on gaps in the context.

Inform them they can use shorthand to answer (e.g., "1: yes, 2: see #channel, 3: no because backwards compat"), link to more docs, point to channels to read, or just keep info-dumping. Whatever's most efficient for them.

**Exit condition:**
Sufficient context has been gathered when questions show understanding - when edge cases and trade-offs can be asked about without needing basics explained.

**Transition:**
Ask if there's any more context they want to provide at this stage, or if it's time to move on to drafting the document.

If user wants to add more, let them. When ready, proceed to Stage 2.

## Stage 2: Refinement & Structure

**Goal:** Build the document section by section through brainstorming, curation, and iterative refinement.

**Instructions to user:**
Explain that the document will be built section by section. For each section:
1. Clarifying questions will be asked about what to include
2. 5-20 options will be brainstormed
3. User will indicate what to keep/remove/combine
4. The section will be drafted
5. It will be refined through surgical edits

Start with whichever section has the most unknowns (usually the core decision/proposal), then work through the rest.

**Section ordering:**

If the document structure is clear:
Ask which section they'd like to start with.

Suggest starting with whichever section has the most unknowns. For decision docs, that's usually the core proposal. For specs, it's typically the technical approach. Summary sections are best left for last.

If user doesn't know what sections they need:
Based on the type of document and template, suggest 3-5 sections appropriate for the doc type.

Ask if this structure works, or if they want to adjust it.

**Once structure is agreed:**

Create the initial document structure with placeholder text for all sections.

**If access to artifacts is available:**
Use `create_file` to create an artifact. This gives both Claude and the user a scaffold to work from.

Inform them that the initial structure with placeholders for all sections will be created.

Create artifact with all section headers and brief placeholder text like "[To be written]" or "[Content here]".

Provide the scaffold link and indicate it's time to fill in each section.

**If no access to artifacts:**
Create a markdown file in the working directory. Name it appropriately (e.g., `decision-doc.md`, `technical-spec.md`).

Inform them that the initial structure with placeholders for all sections will be created.

Create file with all section headers and placeholder text.

Confirm the filename has been created and indicate it's time to fill in each section.

**For each section:**

### Step 1: Clarifying Questions

Announce work will begin on the [SECTION NAME] section. Ask 5-10 clarifying questions about what should be included:

Generate 5-10 specific questions based on context and section purpose.

Inform them they can answer in shorthand or just indicate what's important to cover.

### Step 2: Brainstorming

For the [SECTION NAME] section, brainstorm [5-20] things that might be included, depending on the section's complexity. Look for:
- Context shared that might have been forgotten
- Angles or considerations not yet mentioned

Generate 5-20 numbered options based on section complexity. At the end, offer to brainstorm more if they want additional options.

### Step 3: Curation

Ask which points should be kept, removed, or combined. Request brief justifications to help learn priorities for the next sections.

Provide examples:
- "Keep 1,4,7,9"
- "Remove 3 (duplicates 1)"
- "Remove 6 (audience already knows this)"
- "Combine 11 and 12"

**If user gives freeform feedback** (e.g., "looks good" or "I like most of it but...") instead of numbered selections, extract their preferences and proceed. Parse what they want kept/removed/changed and apply it.

### Step 4: Gap Check

Based on what they've selected, ask if there's anything important missing for the [SECTION NAME] section.

### Step 5: Drafting

Use `str_replace` to replace the placeholder text for this section with the actual drafted content.

Announce the [SECTION NAME] section will be drafted now based on what they've selected.

**If using artifacts:**
After drafting, provide a link to the artifact.

Ask them to read through it and indicate what to change. Note that being specific helps learning for the next sections.

**If using a file (no artifacts):**
After drafting, confirm completion.

Inform them the [SECTION NAME] section has been drafted in [filename]. Ask them to read through it and indicate what to change. Note that being specific helps learning for the next sections.

**Key instruction for user (include when drafting the first section):**
Provide a note: Instead of editing the doc directly, ask them to indicate what to change. This helps learning of their style for future sections. For example: "Remove the X bullet - already covered by Y" or "Make the third paragraph more concise".

### Step 6: Iterative Refinement

As user provides feedback:
- Use `str_replace` to make edits (never reprint the whole doc)
- **If using artifacts:** Provide link to artifact after each edit
- **If using files:** Just confirm edits are complete
- If user edits doc directly and asks to read it: mentally note the changes they made and keep them in mind for future sections (this shows their preferences)

**Continue iterating** until user is satisfied with the section.

### Quality Checking

After 3 consecutive iterations with no substantial changes, ask if anything can be removed without losing important information.

When section is done, confirm [SECTION NAME] is complete. Ask if ready to move to the next section.

**Repeat for all sections.**

### Near Completion

As approaching completion (80%+ of sections done), announce intention to re-read the entire document and check for:
- Flow and consistency across sections
- Redundancy or contradictions
- Anything that feels like "slop" or generic filler
- Whether every sentence carries weight

Read entire document and provide feedback.

**When all sections are drafted and refined:**
Announce all sections are drafted. Indicate intention to review the complete document one more time.

Review for overall coherence, flow, completeness.

Provide any final suggestions.

Ask if ready to move to Reader Testing, or if they want to refine anything else.

## Stage 3: Reader Testing

**Goal:** Test the document with a fresh Claude (no context bleed) to verify it works for readers.

**Instructions to user:**
Explain that testing will now occur to see if the document actually works for readers. This catches blind spots - things that make sense to the authors but might confuse others.

### Testing Approach

**If access to sub-agents is available (e.g., in Claude Code):**

Perform the testing directly without user involvement.

### Step 1: Predict Reader Questions

Announce intention to predict what questions readers might ask when trying to discover this document.

Generate 5-10 questions that readers would realistically ask.

### Step 2: Test with Sub-Agent

Announce that these questions will be tested with a fresh Claude instance (no context from this conversation).

For each question, invoke a sub-agent with just the document content and the question.

Summarize what Reader Claude got right/wrong for each question.

### Step 3: Run Additional Checks

Announce additional checks will be performed.

Invoke sub-agent to check for ambiguity, false assumptions, contradictions.

Summarize any issues found.

### Step 4: Report and Fix

If issues found:
Report that Reader Claude struggled with specific issues.

List the specific issues.

Indicate intention to fix these gaps.

Loop back to refinement for problematic sections.

---

**If no access to sub-agents (e.g., claude.ai web interface):**

The user will need to do the testing manually.

### Step 1: Predict Reader Questions

Ask what questions people might ask when trying to discover this document. What would they type into Claude.ai?

Generate 5-10 questions that readers would realistically ask.

### Step 2: Setup Testing

Provide testing instructions:
1. Open a fresh Claude conversation: https://claude.ai
2. Paste or share the document content (if using a shared doc platform with connectors enabled, provide the link)
3. Ask Reader Claude the generated questions

For each question, instruct Reader Claude to provide:
- The answer
- Whether anything was ambiguous or unclear
- What knowledge/context the doc assumes is already known

Check if Reader Claude gives correct answers or misinterprets anything.

### Step 3: Additional Checks

Also ask Reader Claude:
- "What in this doc might be ambiguous or unclear to readers?"
- "What knowledge or context does this doc assume readers already have?"
- "Are there any internal contradictions or inconsistencies?"

### Step 4: Iterate Based on Results

Ask what Reader Claude got wrong or struggled with. Indicate intention to fix those gaps.

Loop back to refinement for any problematic sections.

---

### Exit Condition (Both Approaches)

When Reader Claude consistently answers questions correctly and doesn't surface new gaps or ambiguities, the doc is ready.

## Final Review

When Reader Testing passes:
Announce the doc has passed Reader Claude testing. Before completion:

1. Recommend they do a final read-through themselves - they own this document and are responsible for its quality
2. Suggest double-checking any facts, links, or technical details
3. Ask them to verify it achieves the impact they wanted

Ask if they want one more review, or if the work is done.

**If user wants final review, provide it. Otherwise:**
Announce document completion. Provide a few final tips:
- Consider linking this conversation in an appendix so readers can see how the doc was developed
- Use appendices to provide depth without bloating the main doc
- Update the doc as feedback is received from real readers

## Tips for Effective Guidance

**Tone:**
- Be direct and procedural
- Explain rationale briefly when it affects user behavior
- Don't try to "sell" the approach - just execute it

**Handling Deviations:**
- If user wants to skip a stage: Ask if they want to skip this and write freeform
- If user seems frustrated: Acknowledge this is taking longer than expected. Suggest ways to move faster
- Always give user agency to adjust the process

**Context Management:**
- Throughout, if context is missing on something mentioned, proactively ask
- Don't let gaps accumulate - address them as they come up

**Artifact Management:**
- Use `create_file` for drafting full sections
- Use `str_replace` for all edits
- Provide artifact link after every change
- Never use artifacts for brainstorming lists - that's just conversation

**Quality over Speed:**
- Don't rush through stages
- Each iteration should make meaningful improvements
- The goal is a document that actually works for readers

Full reference is at https://develop.sentry.dev/backend/api/public/, the most useful section to you will be https://develop.sentry.dev/backend/api/public/#5-method-decorator. This skill captures the non-obvious lessons on top of it. Most of the work is making the declared schema match what the endpoint actually returns. Before documenting, identify which endpoint class serves the route and what it does; the MCP tool that calls it is usually the fastest way to confirm its behavior. Promoting a PRIVATE/EXPERIMENTAL endpoint to PUBLIC is one application (see below).

## Workflow

1. Class-level `@extend_schema(tags=[...])` — use the closest existing `OPENAPI_TAGS` entry.
2. Method-level `@extend_schema(operation_id=..., parameters=[...], responses={...}, examples=...)`.
3. Reuse `src/sentry/apidocs/parameters.py` and `examples/*.py`; ensure `owner = ApiOwner.<TEAM>` is set.
4. If a legacy `api-docs/paths/**/*.json` covers the path, remove it (see lesson 4).
5. Validate, then verify against the live endpoint (lesson 1).

## Lessons

### 1. Carefully compare what the code does vs declared types
Ideally, hit the live endpoint with a real token and diff the keys and types against your TypedDict. Serializers are sometimes inaccurate. Look out for counts coming back as floats instead of integers, IDs declared `int` emitted as strings, nested types declaring the wrong number of fields. Correct the declared type to match runtime.
```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "https://us.sentry.io/api/0/<endpoint>" | jq 'keys'
```

### 2. Reuse the canonical response type
Match the codebase's `XxxResponseOptional(TypedDict, total=False)` mixin (main class declares required fields). Nullable-vs-absent: `T | None` = key always present, value may be null; `NotRequired[T]` = key only set under a condition (e.g. an `expand` query param). Reuse the existing canonical type instead of re-declaring a second or third copy in a `*_types.py`. If there's no clean canonical type to reuse (e.g. a payload proxied from another service like vroom/profiling), type it `dict[str, Any]` rather than inventing a new mirror, and confirm the shape from the owning service's repo, not just the serializer.

### 3. Infer the type. Avoid `cast` and `# type: ignore`
When a serializer returns a base type plus extra fields, refactor the producing code so the response type is inferred rather than forced.

### 4. Legacy doc migration is all-or-nothing per path
Delete the `api-docs/paths/**/*.json` file AND its `$ref` in `api-docs/openapi.json`. drf-spectacular's `APPEND_PATHS` does not merge HTTP methods, so once any method on a path uses `@extend_schema`, all *legacy* methods on that path vanish — migrate every method on the path in one commit.

## Promoting to PUBLIC

Do the workflow above, then on the concrete endpoint only (leave siblings PRIVATE):

- Bump `publish_status[<METHOD>]` → `PUBLIC` and set `owner = ApiOwner.<TEAM>`.
- Remove the method from `API_OWNERSHIP_ALLOWLIST_DONT_MODIFY` in the same change as the flip.
- If the endpoint is redundant or being renamed, delete or deprecate the old version in its own change first, then stack the publish on top.
- Note in the PR if scopes widen (`event:read` → `event:{admin,read,write}`) — that's drf-spectacular regenerating from `permission_classes`, documentation-only.

The change reaches the `@sentry/api` SDK / MCP only after `sentry-api-schema` regenerates downstream.

## Validate

```bash
make build-api-docs
pnpm run validate-api-examples
.venv/bin/pytest -q --reuse-db tests/apidocs/endpoints/<area>/test_<name>.py
.venv/bin/prek run -q --files <changed paths>
```

---

# Find Bugs

Review changes on this branch for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code quality issues.

## Phase 1: Complete Input Gathering

1. Get the FULL diff: `git diff $(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name')...HEAD`
2. If output is truncated, read each changed file individually until you have seen every changed line
3. List all files modified in this branch before proceeding

## Phase 2: Attack Surface Mapping

For each changed file, identify and list:

* All user inputs (request params, headers, body, URL components)
* All database queries
* All authentication/authorization checks
* All session/state operations
* All external calls
* All cryptographic operations

## Phase 3: Security Checklist (check EVERY item for EVERY file)

* [ ] **Injection**: SQL, command, template, header injection
* [ ] **XSS**: All outputs in templates properly escaped?
* [ ] **Authentication**: Auth checks on all protected operations?
* [ ] **Authorization/IDOR**: Access control verified, not just auth?
* [ ] **CSRF**: State-changing operations protected?
* [ ] **Race conditions**: TOCTOU in any read-then-write patterns?
* [ ] **Session**: Fixation, expiration, secure flags?
* [ ] **Cryptography**: Secure random, proper algorithms, no secrets in logs?
* [ ] **Information disclosure**: Error messages, logs, timing attacks?
* [ ] **DoS**: Unbounded operations, missing rate limits, resource exhaustion?
* [ ] **Business logic**: Edge cases, state machine violations, numeric overflow?

## Phase 4: Verification

For each potential issue:

* Check if it's already handled elsewhere in the changed code
* Search for existing tests covering the scenario
* Read surrounding context to verify the issue is real

## Phase 5: Pre-Conclusion Audit

Before finalizing, you MUST:

1. List every file you reviewed and confirm you read it completely
2. List every checklist item and note whether you found issues or confirmed it's clean
3. List any areas you could NOT fully verify and why
4. Only then provide your final findings

## Output Format

**Prioritize**: security vulnerabilities > bugs > code quality

**Skip**: stylistic/formatting issues

For each issue:

* **File:Line** - Brief description
* **Severity**: Critical/High/Medium/Low
* **Problem**: What's wrong
* **Evidence**: Why this is real (not already fixed, no existing test, etc.)
* **Fix**: Concrete suggestion
* **References**: OWASP, RFCs, or other standards if applicable

If you find nothing significant, say so - don't invent issues.

Do not make changes - just report findings. I'll decide what to address.

allowed-tools: Bash
---

# GitHub Review Requests

Fetch unread `review_requested` notifications for open (unmerged) PRs, filtered by a GitHub team.

**Requires**: GitHub CLI (`gh`) authenticated.

**Requires**: The `uv` CLI for python package management, install guide at https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/

## Step 1: Identify the Team

If the user has not specified a team, ask:

> Which GitHub team should I filter by? (e.g. `streaming-platform`)

Accept either a team slug (`streaming-platform`) or a display name ("Streaming Platform") — convert to lowercase-hyphenated slug before passing to the script.

## Step 2: Run the Script

```bash
uv run scripts/fetch_review_requests.py --org getsentry --teams <team-slug>
```

To filter by multiple teams, pass a comma-separated list:

```bash
uv run scripts/fetch_review_requests.py --org getsentry --teams <team slugs>
```

### Script output

```json
{
  "total": 3,
  "prs": [
    {
      "notification_id": "12345",
      "title": "feat(kafka): add workflow to restart a broker",
      "url": "https://github.com/getsentry/ops/pull/19144",
      "repo": "getsentry/ops",
      "pr_number": 19144,
      "author": "bmckerry",
      "reasons": ["opened by: bmckerry"]
    }
  ]
}
```

`reasons` will contain one or both of:
- `"review requested from: <Team Name>"` — the team is a requested reviewer
- `"opened by: <login>"` — the PR author is a team member

## Step 3: Present Results

Display results as a markdown table with full URLs:

| # | Title | URL | Reason |
|---|-------|-----|--------|
| 1 | feat(kafka): add workflow to restart a broker | https://github.com/getsentry/ops/pull/19144 | opened by: evanh |

If `total` is 0, say: "No unread review requests found for that team."

## Fallback

If the script fails, run manually:

```bash
gh api notifications --paginate
```

Then for each `review_requested` notification, check:
- `gh api repos/{repo}/pulls/{number}` — skip if `state == "closed"` or `merged_at` is set
- `gh api repos/{repo}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers` — check `teams[].name`
- `gh api orgs/{org}/teams/{slug}/members` — check if author is a member

# GitHub Actions Security Review

Find exploitable vulnerabilities in GitHub Actions workflows. Every finding MUST include a concrete exploitation scenario — if you can't build the attack, don't report it.

This skill encodes attack patterns from real GitHub Actions exploits — not generic CI/CD theory.

## Scope

Review the workflows provided (file, diff, or repo). Research the codebase as needed to trace complete attack paths before reporting.

### Files to Review

- `.github/workflows/*.yml` — all workflow definitions
- `action.yml` / `action.yaml` — composite actions in the repo
- `.github/actions/*/action.yml` — local reusable actions
- Config files loaded by workflows: `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `Makefile`, shell scripts under `.github/`

### Out of Scope

- Workflows in other repositories (only note the dependency)
- GitHub App installation permissions (note if relevant)

## Threat Model

Only report vulnerabilities exploitable by an **external attacker** — someone **without** write access to the repository. The attacker can open PRs from forks, create issues, and post comments. They cannot push to branches, trigger `workflow_dispatch`, or trigger manual workflows.

**Do not flag** vulnerabilities that require write access to exploit:
- `workflow_dispatch` input injection — requires write access to trigger
- Expression injection in `push`-only workflows on protected branches
- `workflow_call` input injection where all callers are internal
- Secrets in `workflow_dispatch`/`schedule`-only workflows

## Confidence

Report only **HIGH** and **MEDIUM** confidence findings. Do not report theoretical issues.

| Confidence | Criteria | Action |
|---|---|---|
| **HIGH** | Traced the full attack path, confirmed exploitable | Report with exploitation scenario and fix |
| **MEDIUM** | Attack path partially confirmed, uncertain link | Report as needs verification |
| **LOW** | Theoretical or mitigated elsewhere | Do not report |

For each HIGH finding, provide all five elements:

1. **Entry point** — How does the attacker get in? (fork PR, issue comment, branch name, etc.)
2. **Payload** — What does the attacker send? (actual code/YAML/input)
3. **Execution mechanism** — How does the payload run? (expression expansion, checkout + script, etc.)
4. **Impact** — What does the attacker gain? (token theft, code execution, repo write access)
5. **PoC sketch** — Concrete steps an attacker would follow

If you cannot construct all five, report as MEDIUM (needs verification).

---

## Step 1: Classify Triggers and Load References

For each workflow, identify triggers and load the appropriate reference:

| Trigger / Pattern | Load Reference |
|---|---|
| `pull_request_target` | `references/pwn-request.md` |
| `issue_comment` with command parsing | `references/comment-triggered-commands.md` |
| `${{ }}` in `run:` blocks | `references/expression-injection.md` |
| PATs / deploy keys / elevated credentials | `references/credential-escalation.md` |
| Checkout PR code + config file loading | `references/ai-prompt-injection-via-ci.md` |
| Third-party actions (especially unpinned) | `references/supply-chain.md` |
| `permissions:` block or secrets usage | `references/permissions-and-secrets.md` |
| Self-hosted runners, cache/artifact usage | `references/runner-infrastructure.md` |
| Any confirmed finding | `references/real-world-attacks.md` |

Load references selectively — only what's relevant to the triggers found.

## Step 2: Check for Vulnerability Classes

### Check 1: Pwn Request

Does the workflow use `pull_request_target` AND check out fork code?
- Look for `actions/checkout` with `ref:` pointing to PR head
- Look for local actions (`./.github/actions/`) that would come from the fork
- Check if any `run:` step executes code from the checked-out PR

### Check 2: Expression Injection

Are `${{ }}` expressions used inside `run:` blocks in externally-triggerable workflows?
- Map every `${{ }}` expression in every `run:` step
- Confirm the value is attacker-controlled (PR title, branch name, comment body — not numeric IDs, SHAs, or repository names)
- Confirm the expression is in a `run:` block, not `if:`, `with:`, or job-level `env:`

### Check 3: Unauthorized Command Execution

Does an `issue_comment`-triggered workflow execute commands without authorization?
- Is there an `author_association` check?
- Can any GitHub user trigger the command?
- Does the command handler also use injectable expressions?

### Check 4: Credential Escalation

Are elevated credentials (PATs, deploy keys) accessible to untrusted code?
- What's the blast radius of each secret?
- Could a compromised workflow steal long-lived tokens?

### Check 5: Config File Poisoning

Does the workflow load configuration from PR-supplied files?
- AI agent instructions: `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.cursorrules`
- Build configuration: `Makefile`, shell scripts

### Check 6: Supply Chain

Are **third-party** actions securely pinned to full SHAs?
- Pin third-party / external actions and reusable workflows only
- Do **not** flag first-party `actions/*` or `github/*` on version tags
- Do **not** flag same-repo / vendored (`./.github/actions/...`) as supply-chain pinning issues
- Only report when the job has secrets, OIDC, write token, release, deploy, package, or signing power — unprivileged read-only CI is not a finding

### Check 7: Permissions and Secrets

Are workflow permissions minimal? Are secrets properly scoped?

### Check 8: Runner Infrastructure

Are self-hosted runners, caches, or artifacts used securely?

## Safe Patterns (Do Not Flag)

Before reporting, check if the pattern is actually safe:

| Pattern | Why Safe |
|---|---|
| `pull_request_target` WITHOUT checkout of fork code | Never executes attacker code |
| `${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}` in `run:` | Numeric only — not injectable |
| `${{ github.repository }}` / `github.repository_owner` | Repo owner controls this |
| `${{ secrets.* }}` | Not an expression injection vector |
| `${{ }}` in `if:` conditions | Evaluated by Actions runtime, not shell |
| `${{ }}` in `with:` inputs | Passed as string parameters, not shell-evaluated |
| Third-party actions pinned to full SHA | Immutable reference |
| First-party `actions/*` / `github/*` on version tags | Outside third-party pinning policy — do not flag |
| Same-repo / vendored local actions | Not third-party supply chain (review pwn-request separately) |
| `pull_request` trigger (not `_target`) | Runs in fork context with read-only token |
| Any expression in `workflow_dispatch`/`schedule`/`push` to protected branches | Requires write access — outside threat model |

**Key distinction:** `${{ }}` is dangerous in `run:` blocks (shell expansion) but safe in `if:`, `with:`, and `env:` at the job/step level (Actions runtime evaluation).

## Step 3: Validate Before Reporting

Before including any finding, read the actual workflow YAML and trace the complete attack path:

1. **Read the full workflow** — don't rely on grep output alone
2. **Trace the trigger** — confirm the event and check `if:` conditions that gate execution
3. **Trace the expression/checkout** — confirm it's in a `run:` block or actually references fork code
4. **Confirm attacker control** — verify the value maps to something an external attacker sets
5. **Check existing mitigations** — env var wrapping, author_association checks, restricted permissions, SHA pinning

If any link is broken, mark MEDIUM (needs verification) or drop the finding.

**If no checks produced a finding, report zero findings. Do not invent issues.**

## Step 4: Report Findings

# Iterate on PR Until CI Passes

Goal: fix actionable CI failures and high/medium review feedback. Stop and report human approval, draft-readiness, and merge-readiness gates.

Requires:
- authenticated `gh`
- `uv`
- target repository root as cwd
- skill-root-relative script paths, for example `scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py`

## Bundled Scripts

| Script | Run | Output |
|--------|-----|--------|
| `scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py` | `uv run scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py [--pr NUMBER]` | JSON: `pr`, `summary`, `checks`, failure snippets |
| `scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py` | `uv run scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py [--pr NUMBER]` | JSON buckets: `high`, `medium`, `low`, `bot`, `resolved` |
| `scripts/monitor_pr_checks.py` | `uv run scripts/monitor_pr_checks.py [--pr NUMBER]` | terminal marker plus tab-separated checks |
| `scripts/reply_to_thread.py` | `uv run scripts/reply_to_thread.py THREAD_ID BODY [...]` | JSON reply results |

Check summary fields include `failed`, `pending`, `actionable_pending`, and `human_gate_pending`.

Monitor markers:
- `ALL_CHECKS_PASSED`
- `CHECKS_DONE_WITH_FAILURES`
- `NO_CHECKS_REGISTERED`
- `DRAFT_PR_WITH_NO_CHECKS`
- `CHECKS_BLOCKED_BY_REVIEW_GATE`

## Workflow

### 1. Identify PR

Run:
```bash
gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName,isDraft,reviewDecision
```

Stop when:
- no PR exists
- draft PR has no checks after monitor grace period: report `DRAFT_PR_WITH_NO_CHECKS`

Draft rule: inspect existing checks/feedback only. Do not mark ready for review unless asked.

### 2. Handle Feedback

Run `uv run scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py [--pr NUMBER]`.

| Bucket | Action |
|--------|--------|
| `high` | fix |
| `medium` | fix |
| `low` | ask user which to address |
| `bot` | skip informational comments |
| `resolved` | skip |

Feedback fix checklist:
- verify root cause
- search related code
- fix all instances
- for `review_bot: true`: fix real issues, explain false positives

Low-priority prompt format:
```text
Found 3 low-priority suggestions:
1. [l] "Consider renaming this variable" - @reviewer in api.py:42
2. [nit] "Could use a list comprehension" - @reviewer in utils.py:18
3. [style] "Add a docstring" - @reviewer in models.py:55

Which should I address? ("1,3", "all", or "none")
```

### 3. Check CI Status

Run `uv run scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py [--pr NUMBER]`.

| State | Action |
|-------|--------|
| `failed > 0` and `actionable_pending == 0` | fix failures |
| `actionable_pending > 0` | wait; poll feedback while waiting |
| `pending > 0` and `actionable_pending == 0` | report `CHECKS_BLOCKED_BY_REVIEW_GATE` |
| no checks after grace period | report `NO_CHECKS_REGISTERED` or `DRAFT_PR_WITH_NO_CHECKS` |
| all actionable checks passed | run post-CI feedback check |

Wait for actionable review bots: sentry, warden, cursor, bugbot, seer, codeql.
Do not wait for approval, `isDraft`, `REVIEW_REQUIRED`, Codecov, or informational bots.

### 4. Fix CI Failures

For each failure:
1. read full log: `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed`
2. trace from assertion/exception/lint rule to source
3. state the cause before editing: "fails because X, affected by Y"
4. search related call sites/patterns
5. fix root cause, not symptom
6. add focused test coverage when needed

### 5. Verify Locally, Then Commit and Push

Before commit:
- test fix: rerun specific test
- lint/type fix: rerun affected checker
- code fix: rerun covering tests
- local failure: fix before pushing

```bash
git add <files>
git commit -m "fix: <descriptive message>"
git push
```

### 6. Monitor CI and Address Feedback

Loop:
1. run `uv run scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py`
2. handle table in step 3
3. while `actionable_pending > 0`, run `uv run scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py`
4. fix new high/medium feedback immediately
5. if changed, verify, commit, push, restart loop
6. otherwise sleep 30 seconds and repeat
7. after checks pass, wait 10 seconds, fetch feedback once more
8. if new high/medium feedback exists, return to step 4

Claude Code optional: run `uv run scripts/monitor_pr_checks.py` through `MonitorTool` with `persistent: false`; set timeout to normal repo CI duration. Restart the monitor after every push.

## Exit Conditions

| Exit | Conditions |
|------|------------|
| Success | actionable CI passed; post-CI feedback clean; low-priority choice handled |
| Ask user | same failure after 2 attempts; feedback unclear; infrastructure issue |
| Stop | no PR; branch needs rebase; no checks; draft no-checks; only human gates remain |

## Fallback

If scripts fail, use `gh` CLI directly:
- `gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName,isDraft,reviewDecision`
- `gh pr checks --json name,state,bucket,description,link`
- `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed`
- `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/comments`

Use when asked to "link issue to pr", "fill in issue and linear in pr", "add issue refs to pr", or when given a GitHub issue URL and asked to attach it to the current PR.

# Link a GitHub Issue + Linear Ticket on a PR

Appends a Sentry-style `#### Issues` block to a PR description, referencing both the GitHub issue and the Linear ticket pulled from the issue's `linear-linkback` comment.

## Inputs

- `<issue-url>` — GitHub issue URL like `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<n>`. Issue number alone is fine if the PR is in the same repo.
- (optional) `<pr-number>` — defaults to the open PR for the current branch.

## Steps

1. **Resolve the PR number** — skip if user supplied one:

   ```bash
   gh pr view --json number,body -q '.number'
   ```

   If no PR exists on the branch, stop and tell the user.

2. Extract issue number + repo from the input URL, or accept a bare `#1234` for current repo.

3. Fetch the Linear ticket from the issue's linear-linkback comment:

   ```bash
   gh issue view <n> --repo <owner>/<repo> --json comments \
     -q '.comments[] | select(.author.login=="linear-code") | .body' \
     | grep -Eioe '[a-z]+-[0-9]+' | head -1
   ```

   If no match, fall back to asking the user for the Linear key, or omit it.

4. Read the existing PR body so you can append rather than overwrite:

   ```bash
   gh pr view <pr-number> --json body -q '.body'
   ```

5. Construct the new body. If the body is empty, use just the `#### Issues` block. Otherwise, append it after a blank line. Don't duplicate — if `#### Issues` is already present, replace that section instead of adding a second one.

   Format:

   ```markdown
   #### Issues

   * Resolves: #<n>
   * Resolves: <linear-key>
   ```

6. Update the PR with a heredoc to preserve newlines:

   ```bash
   gh pr edit <pr-number> --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
   <new body>
   EOF
   )"
   ```

7. Confirm by echoing the resulting PR URL:

   ```bash
   gh pr view <pr-number> --json url -q '.url'
   ```

## Notes

- Linear linkback comments are posted by the GitHub user `linear-code`. The body contains a markdown link whose text is the Linear key, e.g. `PY-2357`.
- Project keys vary per repo (`PY-…` for sentry-python, `JS-…` for sentry-javascript, etc.) — the regex `[a-z]+-[0-9]+` covers them.
- Don't strip existing PR content. Always read first, append/replace second.
- If the issue doesn't have a Linear linkback yet (newly filed), proceed with just the GitHub issue reference and tell the user the Linear key is missing.

description: Create or refresh reviewer-facing PR titles and descriptions. Use when opening a PR, updating its title or body, or preparing branch changes for review.
---

# PR Writer

Write the PR body as a cover note for reviewers, not a changelog, template,
validation log, or file-by-file summary.

## Inspect the Change

Requires authenticated `gh`. Inspect the current branch, working tree, PR,
base branch, commits, and full diff:

```bash
git branch --show-current
git status --porcelain
gh pr view --json number,title,body,url,baseRefName,headRefName
gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef
```

If `gh pr view` reports that no PR exists, continue with first-time PR
creation. For an existing PR, use its `baseRefName`; otherwise use the
repository default branch. Set `BASE`, then inspect:

```bash
git log "$BASE"..HEAD --oneline
git diff "$BASE"...HEAD
```

If on `main` or `master`, create a feature branch first. Ensure intended
changes are committed and review the whole branch diff, not only the latest
commit or existing PR text.

## Core Rules

- Describe concrete changed behavior, affected surfaces, and reviewer impact
  before implementation detail.
- Explain motivation, risk, tradeoffs, migration, or review focus only when
  useful.
- Use the smallest structure that makes the change easier to review.
- Replace internal prompt or process terminology with specific behavior.
- When refreshing a PR, rewrite around the current full diff without narrating
  review history.

## Titles

Use `<type>(<scope>): <subject>` or `<type>: <subject>`.

Allowed types: `feat`, `fix`, `ref`, `perf`, `docs`, `test`, `build`,
`ci`, `chore`, `style`, `meta`, `license`, and `revert`.

- Describe the dominant full-branch change with the narrowest accurate type
  and scope.
- Use `!` only when the change breaks an external contract, and explain the
  affected surface in the body.
- Avoid vague subjects such as `update`, `cleanup`, `misc`, `fix stuff`,
  or `address feedback`. Do not add a trailing period.
- Keep an existing title only when it still describes the whole diff.

## Body Shape

Choose the minimum useful shape:

| Change | Include |
|--------|---------|
| Small or obvious | One concise paragraph without headings. |
| Feature, bug fix, or refactor | Changed behavior and effect; add root cause, unchanged behavior, or non-obvious approach when relevant. |
| Contract or breaking change | Affected API, schema, payload, config, permission, storage, or CLI surface; include compatibility and migration guidance. |
| Operational, visual, or workflow change | User/operator effect, measured impact, failure modes, or flow when useful. |
| Broad, generated, or cross-cutting change | Organizing principle, why the breadth is necessary, and where review should start. |

Default:

```markdown
<What changed and what effect it has.>

<Why the approach, risk, migration, or review focus matters, if not obvious.>
```

For review-feedback updates, describe the resulting PR as a whole rather than
the sequence of revisions.

## Reviewer Aids

Use an aid only when it reduces reviewer reconstruction work:

- A compact before/after or interface example for changed contracts.
- A small Mermaid diagram for async flows or state transitions.
- A screenshot or recording note when visual evidence exists.
- A rollout, compatibility, risk, or review-order note when reviewers or
  adopters need it.

Introduce an artifact with one sentence explaining what reviewers should
notice. Omit it when prose is clearer.

## Boundaries

- Do not add default `Summary`, `Changes`, or `Test Plan` sections.
- Omit routine validation unless it changes risk assessment or explains
  meaningful regression coverage. For docs, skills, copy, or config changes,
  omit it by default.
- Do not paste commands, CI logs, validation dumps, commit logs, placeholders,
  or exhaustive file lists.
- Never include customer or organization names, user emails, support ticket
  contents, secrets, or PII.
- Use issue references only when verified from user input, branch names,
  commits, PR discussion, or tracker output. `Fixes <issue>` closes;
  `Refs <issue>` only links.

## Create or Update

Create new PRs as drafts. Write the body to a temporary Markdown file, then run:

```bash
gh pr create --draft --title '<title>' --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md
```

Update existing PRs with `gh api`:

```bash
gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/PR_NUMBER \
  -f title='<title>' \
  -F body=@/tmp/pr-body.md
```

Refresh the title and body when follow-up commits materially change scope,
approach, breaking behavior, risk, migration, or review expectations. Skip
typo-only, formatting-only, and rename-only follow-ups.

## Examples

Small change:

```markdown
The AI Customizations section now starts collapsed so it does not consume
sidebar space before users need it. Expanding it preserves the existing saved
preference behavior.
```

Breaking contract:

````markdown
Run logs now emit chunk-level records instead of one skill-level record.
Consumers that read top-level `findings` must iterate over
`chunk.findings` for each record.

Before:

```json
{"skill": "security-review", "findings": [...]}
```

After:

```json
{"schemaVersion": 1, "chunk": {"index": 1, "findings": [...]}}
```
````

Scaffolds a complete slide-based app with charts, animations, and single-file HTML output.

# Sentry Presentation Builder

Create interactive, data-driven presentation slides using React + Vite + Recharts, styled with the Sentry design system and built as a single distributable HTML file.

## Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask the user:
1. What is the presentation topic?
2. How many slides (typically 5-8)?
3. What data/charts are needed? (time series, comparisons, diagrams, zone charts)
4. What is the narrative arc? (problem → solution, before → after, technical deep-dive)

### Data Assessment (CRITICAL)

Before designing any slides, assess whether the source content contains **real quantitative data** (numbers, percentages, measurements, time series, costs, metrics). Only create Recharts visualizations for slides where real data exists. Do NOT fabricate, estimate, or invent data to fill charts.

- **Has real data** → use a Recharts chart (bar, area, line, etc.)
- **Has no data** → use text-based layouts: cards, tables, bullet columns, diagrams, or quote blocks. Do NOT create a chart with made-up numbers.

If the source content is purely qualitative (narrative, opinions, strategy, process descriptions), the presentation should use zero charts. Recharts and `Charts.jsx` should only be included in the project if at least one slide has real data to visualize.

## Step 2: Scaffold the Project

Create the project structure:

```
<project-name>/
├── index.html
├── package.json
├── vite.config.js
└── src/
    ├── main.jsx
    ├── App.jsx
    ├── App.css
    └── Charts.jsx
```

### index.html

```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com" />
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Rubik:wght@300;400;500;600;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Material+Symbols+Outlined:opsz,wght,FILL,GRAD@20..48,100..700,0..1,-50..200&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />
    <title>TITLE</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="root"></div>
    <script type="module" src="/src/main.jsx"></script>
  </body>
</html>
```

### package.json

```json
{
  "name": "PROJECT_NAME",
  "private": true,
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": { "dev": "vite", "build": "vite build", "preview": "vite preview" },
  "dependencies": { "react": "^18.3.1", "react-dom": "^18.3.1", "recharts": "^2.15.3" },
  "devDependencies": { "@vitejs/plugin-react": "^4.3.4", "vite": "^6.0.0", "vite-plugin-singlefile": "^2.3.0" }
}
```

### vite.config.js

```javascript
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import { viteSingleFile } from 'vite-plugin-singlefile'

export default defineConfig({ plugins: [react(), viteSingleFile()] })
```

### main.jsx

```jsx
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client'
import App from './App'
import './App.css'

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(<App />)
```

## Step 3: Build the Slide System

Read `references/design-system.md` for the complete Sentry color palette, typography, CSS variables, layout utilities, and animation system.

### App.jsx Structure

Define slides as an array of functions returning JSX:

```jsx
const SLIDES = [
  () => ( /* Slide 0: Title */ ),
  () => ( /* Slide 1: Context */ ),
  // ...
];
```

Each slide function returns a `<div className="slide-content">` with:
1. An `<h2>` heading
2. Optional subtitle paragraph
3. Main content (charts, cards, diagrams, tables)
4. Animation classes: `.anim`, `.d1`, `.d2`, `.d3` for staggered fade-in

Do NOT add category tag pills/badges above headings (e.g., "BACKGROUND", "EXPERIMENTS"). They look generic and add no value. Let the heading speak for itself.

### Navigation

Implement keyboard navigation (ArrowRight/Space = next, ArrowLeft = prev) and a bottom nav overlay with prev/next buttons, dot indicators, and slide number. The nav has **no border or background** — it floats transparently. A small low-contrast Sentry glyph watermark sits fixed in the top-left corner of every slide.

```jsx
function App() {
  const [cur, setCur] = useState(0);
  const go = useCallback((d) => setCur(c => Math.max(0, Math.min(SLIDES.length - 1, c + d))), []);

  useEffect(() => {
    const h = (e) => {
      if (e.target.tagName === 'INPUT') return;
      if (e.key === 'ArrowRight' || e.key === ' ') { e.preventDefault(); go(1); }
      if (e.key === 'ArrowLeft') { e.preventDefault(); go(-1); }
    };
    window.addEventListener('keydown', h);
    return () => window.removeEventListener('keydown', h);
  }, [go]);

  return (
    <>
      {cur > 0 && <div className="glyph-watermark"><SentryGlyph size={50} /><span className="watermark-title">TITLE</span></div>}
      <div className="progress" style={{ width: `${((cur + 1) / SLIDES.length) * 100}%` }} />
      {SLIDES.map((S, i) => (
        <div key={i} className={`slide ${i === cur ? 'active' : ''}`}>
          <div className={`slide-content${i === cur ? ' anim' : ''}`}>
            <S />
          </div>
        </div>
      ))}
      <Nav cur={cur} total={SLIDES.length} go={go} setCur={setCur} />
    </>
  );
}
```

## Step 4: Create Charts (Only When Data Exists)

**IMPORTANT: Only create charts for slides backed by real, concrete data from the source content.** If a slide's content is qualitative (strategies, learnings, process descriptions, opinions), use text-based layouts instead (cards, tables, bullet lists, columns). Never invent numbers, fabricate percentages, or generate synthetic data to populate a chart. If you are unsure whether data is real or inferred, do NOT create a chart.

If NO slides require charts, skip this step entirely — do not create `Charts.jsx` or import Recharts.

When real data IS available, read `references/chart-patterns.md` for Recharts component patterns including axis configuration, color constants, chart types, and data generation techniques.

Put all chart components in `Charts.jsx`. Key patterns:

- Use `ResponsiveContainer` with explicit height
- Wrap in `.chart-wrap` div with max-width 920px
- Use `useMemo` for data generation
- **Color rule**: Use the Tableau-inspired categorical palette (`CAT[]`) for distinguishing data series and groups. Only use semantic colors (`SEM_GREEN`, `SEM_RED`, `SEM_AMBER`) when the color itself carries meaning (good/bad, success/failure, warning).
- Common charts: `ComposedChart` with stacked `Area`/`Line`, `BarChart`, custom SVG diagrams
- **Every data point in a chart must come from the source content.** Do not interpolate, extrapolate, or round numbers to make charts look better.

## Step 5: Style with Sentry Design System

Apply the complete CSS from the design system reference. Key elements:

- **Font**: Rubik from Google Fonts
- **Colors**: CSS variables for UI chrome (`--purple`, `--dark`, `--muted`). Semantic CSS variables (`--semantic-green`, `--semantic-red`, `--semantic-amber`) only where color conveys meaning. Categorical palette (`CAT[]`) for all other data visualization.
- **Slides**: Absolute positioned, opacity transitions
- **Animations**: `fadeUp` keyframe with staggered delays
- **Layout**: `.cols` flex rows, `.cards` grid, `.chart-wrap` containers
- **Tags**: `.tag-purple`, `.tag-red`, `.tag-green`, `.tag-amber` for slide labels
- **Logo**: Read the official SVG from `references/sentry-logo.svg` (full wordmark) or `references/sentry-glyph.svg` (glyph only). Do NOT hardcode an approximation — always use the exact SVG paths from these files.

## Step 6: Common Slide Patterns

### Title Slide
Logo (from `references/sentry-logo.svg` or `references/sentry-glyph.svg`) + h1 + subtitle + author/date info.

### Problem/Context Slide
Tag + heading + 2-column card grid with icon headers.

### Data Comparison Slide
Tag + heading + side-by-side charts or before/after comparison table.

### Technical Deep-Dive Slide
Tag + heading + full-width chart + annotation bullets below.

### Summary/Decision Slide
Tag + heading + 3-column layout with category headers and bullet lists.

## Step 7: Iterate and Refine

After initial scaffolding:
1. Run `npm install && npm run dev` to start the dev server
2. Iterate on chart data models and visual design
3. Adjust animations, colors, and layout spacing
4. Build final output: `npm run build` produces a single HTML file in `dist/`

## Output Expectations

A working React + Vite project that:
- Renders as a keyboard-navigable slide deck
- Uses Sentry branding (colors, fonts, icons)
- Contains Recharts visualizations **only for slides with real quantitative data** from the source content — no fabricated data
- Omits `Charts.jsx` and the Recharts dependency entirely if no slides have real data
- Builds to a single distributable HTML file
- Has smooth fade-in animations on slide transitions

Use when asked to improve a prompt, optimize a system prompt, rewrite an agent prompt, tune prompt wording, make a prompt more reliable, port prompts between OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini, or build prompt evals.

# Prompt Optimizer

Optimize prompts with evals. Keep every instruction, example, and external context reference causal.

## Load Only What You Need

| Need | Read |
|------|------|
| New prompt | `references/core-patterns.md`, `references/model-family-notes.md`, `references/transformed-examples.md` |
| Existing prompt | `references/meta-optimization-loop.md`, `references/core-patterns.md`, `references/model-family-notes.md` |
| Model-family port | `references/model-family-notes.md`, `references/core-patterns.md` |
| Repeated failures | `references/meta-optimization-loop.md`, `references/core-patterns.md` |
| Weak or ambiguous draft | `references/transformed-examples.md` |
| Provenance | `SOURCES.md` |

## Step 1: Capture Contract

Record before editing:

- task type: new, refine, port, or debug
- target model family and snapshot, if known
- prompt surface: `system`, `developer`, `user`, tool descriptions, examples, schemas
- layer owners: platform, deployer/persona, retrieved context, user payload
- objective and non-goals
- inputs, tools, and external files available
- required output shape
- success criteria and failure cases
- hard constraints: latency, verbosity, safety, budget, tool use, style

If success criteria or examples are missing, create a small eval set first.
If the bottleneck is model choice, retrieval, tool schema, or missing evals, say so before rewriting.

## Step 2: Inventory External Context

For repo or agent prompts, list stable context by exact path:

| Context type | Examples |
|--------------|----------|
| Agent rules | `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md` |
| Specs | `specs/*.md`, `docs/api.md` |
| Policies | `SECURITY.md`, `docs/releasing.md` |
| Examples | `examples/`, `tests/fixtures/` |

Rules:

- Reference stable files by repo-relative path instead of copying them.
- Paste only excerpts needed for the prompt or eval case.
- Mark whether a file is `loaded`, `referenced`, or `out of scope`.
- Avoid vague context pointers such as "read the docs".

## Step 3: Choose Model Strategy

Read `references/model-family-notes.md`.

- Known family: optimize for that family.
- Unknown family: write a portable base plus short adapter notes.
- Snapshot changes: rerun evals.
- Cross-family divergence: specialize only the failing layer.

## Step 4: Shape Prompt

Read `references/core-patterns.md`.

- Put stable policy in `system` or `developer`.
- Put task-local facts, retrieved context, and variables in user-facing sections.
- Keep one owner per behavior rule.
- Use headings or tags only to separate content types.
- Put tool policy in prompt text; keep schemas in provider-native tools.
- Keep persona light unless it changes behavior.
- Use the shortest wording that preserves the constraint.
- Cut filler, repeated reminders, dead examples, and rationale that does not affect evals.

## Step 5: Optimize

Read `references/meta-optimization-loop.md` for refinements.

1. Baseline the current prompt on the same eval slice.
2. Cluster failures by root cause.
3. Write concrete edit criticisms.
4. Generate two to four candidates:
   - minimal-diff repair
   - structure-first rewrite
   - examples-first or tool-rule variant
   - provider adapter when needed
5. Compare candidates on the same cases.
6. Keep a short optimization log.
7. Validate the winner on holdout cases.
8. Stop on plateau, oscillation, overfit, excessive cost, or non-prompt bottleneck.

## Step 6: Return Package

Return:

1. `Target`
2. `Success Criteria`
3. `External Context`
4. `Optimized Prompt`
5. `Adapter Notes`
6. `Eval Set`
7. `Optimization Log`
8. `Residual Risks`

For existing prompts, include a concise diff-style note of the main behavioral changes.

## Failure Modes

- editing before defining the eval target
- mixing policy, examples, and raw context without boundaries
- duplicating rules across layers
- putting durable policy in user payloads
- asking for chain-of-thought
- keeping contradictory legacy instructions
- overfitting to one or two examples
- retaining examples that no longer improve evals
- fixing tool-use failures only in prompt text when tool descriptions or schemas are weak
- adding markup that does not reduce ambiguity
- using persona as a substitute for behavior rules

# Replay UX Research

Analyze session replays from real external users of sentry.io to surface UX patterns, pain points, and representative journeys for a given product area. This uses Sentry's own dogfooding org.

## Inputs

`$ARGUMENTS` is the product area to research (e.g., "issues", "traces", "dashboards", "replays", "monitors", "releases", "alerts").

If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, ask the user which product area to research.

## Prerequisites

This skill requires the Sentry MCP server to be connected. The following tools are used:
- `search_events` — Search for session replays
- `get_replay_details` — Get detailed replay information
- `search_issues` — Look up error issues
- `get_sentry_resource` — Fetch issue details from URLs

If these tools are not available, ask the user to connect the Sentry MCP server before proceeding.

## Step 1: Map product area to URL patterns

Read `references/product-areas.md` and find the URL patterns for the requested area.

If the product area is not listed, infer a URL pattern from the area name. Most Sentry product areas follow the pattern `/<area-name>/` in the URL path. The reference file may not cover newer product areas — confirm your assumption with the user if unclear.

## Step 2: Search for replays

Search for replays from external (non-Sentry-employee) users. 25 replays is a good starting point — go deeper if the product area is complex, if early patterns are ambiguous, or if the user wants a more comprehensive picture.

Start with last 24 hours — extend to 48h or 7d if needed to reach your target count. Run multiple `search_events` calls if needed. Use `limit: 50` per call.

**If you can't find enough replays** (fewer than 10 even at 7 days), tell the user what you found and ask them to help iterate — they may suggest broader URL patterns, a different time range, or a related product area to include.

**Query construction:**

Use natural language queries like:

```
replays from the last 24 hours where url contains "/<area-path>" excluding user emails ending in @sentry.io and @getsentry.com
```

Key filters:

- **Time range**: last 24 hours (extend if needed)
- **URL pattern**: match the product area paths from Step 1
- **Exclude employees**: `-user.email:*@sentry.io -user.email:*@getsentry.com`
- **Environment**: prod

Do NOT pass a `projectSlug` filter — replays span the whole org.

## Step 3: Get replay details

Call `get_replay_details` for each replay found in Step 2. Run these calls in parallel batches for speed.

For each replay, capture:

- **User**: email domain only (the API returns full emails — never include these in output)
- **Journey**: ordered list of pages visited (from URLs and activity breadcrumbs)
- **Duration**: total session length
- **Replay type**: `session` (randomly sampled from normal browsing) vs `buffer` (triggered by an event — error, manual flush, or specific user action like submitting feedback or going through checkout). Note this distinction in your analysis since buffer replays are biased toward error/action moments, not typical browsing.
- **Entry context**: first URL tells you how they arrived — look for referrer signals like `referrer=slack`, `notification_uuid`, `alert_rule_id` in query params (Slack notification), email link patterns, or bare URLs (bookmark/direct nav)
- **Engagement signals**: error count, rage clicks, dead clicks, warning count
- **Browser/OS/Device**: for device distribution context
- **Activity breadcrumbs**: page views, navigation patterns, key interactions

## Step 4: Investigate significant errors

After collecting replay details, identify errors that appear in multiple replays or seem likely to affect the user experience. For each significant error:

1. **Triage by frequency**: If the same issue ID (e.g., `JAVASCRIPT-33RM`) appears in 3+ replays, it's worth investigating.
2. **Check the issue in Sentry**: Use `search_issues` to find the issue, or `get_sentry_resource` with the issue URL from the replay details. Understand:
   - What is the error? (message, stack trace context)
   - How many total users/events does it affect? (beyond just this replay sample)
   - Is it assigned or being worked on?
3. **Infer user-facing impact from behavioral signals**: We cannot see the rendered page content through replay metadata — only by watching the replay in-browser. Instead, infer impact from what users did _after_ the error:
   - **Retried the same action** → they likely saw a failure and tried again
   - **Navigated away immediately** → they were blocked or gave up
   - **Continued their flow normally** → the error may be silent/cosmetic
   - **Rage-clicked or dead-clicked after** → the UI may have become unresponsive
   - **Spent a long time on the page after** → they may be reading an error message or confused
   - **No behavioral change at all** → error was likely invisible to the user
4. **Classify each error** based on this evidence:
   - **Likely blocking**: Error + user retried/left/couldn't continue. High confidence of user impact.
   - **Likely degrading**: Error + user continued but with unusual behavior. Moderate confidence.
   - **Likely silent**: Error fired but user behavior was unaffected. Low confidence of user impact.
   - **Unclear**: Not enough behavioral signal to judge. Flag for manual replay review.

   Always note the confidence level and recommend watching specific replays to confirm. Link directly to the replay URL for each classified error.

Include this classification in the Friction & Pain Points section. Don't report likely-silent errors as pain points — list them in a separate "Background Errors (likely silent)" subsection for completeness.

## Step 5: Analyze patterns

Look at the replays through these UX research lenses:

### Behavioral patterns

1. **Common journeys**: What navigation paths do users take? What's the typical flow?
2. **Entry points**: How do users arrive? Categorize: alert notification (Slack/email), direct bookmark, organic navigation from another page. The first URL's query params reveal this.
3. **Task completion**: Did the user appear to accomplish a goal, or did they wander/abandon? Signs of completion: navigating to a detail view then leaving. Signs of abandonment: short session, back-and-forth navigation, leaving from the same page they entered.
4. **Time on task**: How long do users spend on key pages before acting?

### Friction & discovery

1. **Friction signals**: Rage clicks, dead clicks, errors — but also _hesitation_ (visiting the same page repeatedly), _thrashing_ (rapid back-and-forth between pages), and _retry loops_ (repeating the same action sequence).
2. **Feature discovery**: Are users finding sub-features (filters, search, sort, bulk actions) or only using the primary view? Look at URL query params and breadcrumbs for evidence of feature use.
3. **User intent signals**: Mine URL query params for search terms, filter values, sort orders, and date ranges users set. These are the closest thing to verbatim user "quotes" — they reveal what users are looking for in their own words. (e.g., `query=is%3Aunresolved+assigned%3Ame` tells you the user is triaging their own assigned issues.)
4. **Workarounds**: Any unexpected navigation patterns that suggest a missing feature or confusing flow? (e.g., going to settings mid-task, opening multiple pages in sequence that could be one view)
5. **Error recovery**: When users encounter errors, do they recover and continue or abandon?

### Context

1. **Replay trigger mix**: What proportion are `session` (random sample) vs `buffer` (event-triggered)? Buffer replays show moments where something notable happened (error, feedback submission, checkout, etc.) — they're valuable for friction analysis but aren't representative of typical browsing. Call out this bias when drawing conclusions.
2. **Return visitors**: Do any email domains appear in multiple replays? Repeat visitors suggest habitual usage — their journeys may reveal power-user patterns or persistent pain points they've learned to work around.
3. **User diversity**: Are replays from many different orgs/companies or concentrated? Are there differences in behavior by org?
4. **Device/browser distribution**: What are users primarily using?
5. **Drop-off points**: Where do users leave or navigate away?

## Step 6: Write the report

Use the template in `references/output-template.md`. Be specific — cite individual replays as evidence for each pattern. Link to replay URLs so the reader can watch the replay themselves.

**Privacy**: Never include full user email addresses in the report. Use anonymized identifiers like "user from [company domain]" or "User A, B, C."

# Security Review Skill

Identify exploitable security vulnerabilities in code. Report only **HIGH CONFIDENCE** findings—clear vulnerable patterns with attacker-controlled input.

## Scope: Research vs. Reporting

**CRITICAL DISTINCTION:**

- **Report on**: Only the specific file, diff, or code provided by the user
- **Research**: The ENTIRE codebase to build confidence before reporting

Before flagging any issue, you MUST research the codebase to understand:
- Where does this input actually come from? (Trace data flow)
- Is there validation/sanitization elsewhere?
- How is this configured? (Check settings, config files, middleware)
- What framework protections exist?

**Do NOT report issues based solely on pattern matching.** Investigate first, then report only what you're confident is exploitable.

## Confidence Levels

| Level | Criteria | Action |
|-------|----------|--------|
| **HIGH** | Vulnerable pattern + attacker-controlled input confirmed | **Report** with severity |
| **MEDIUM** | Vulnerable pattern, input source unclear | **Note** as "Needs verification" |
| **LOW** | Theoretical, best practice, defense-in-depth | **Do not report** |

## Do Not Flag

### General Rules
- Test files (unless explicitly reviewing test security)
- Dead code, commented code, documentation strings
- Patterns using **constants** or **server-controlled configuration**
- Code paths that require prior authentication to reach (note the auth requirement instead)

### Server-Controlled Values (NOT Attacker-Controlled)

These are configured by operators, not controlled by attackers:

| Source | Example | Why It's Safe |
|--------|---------|---------------|
| Django settings | `settings.API_URL`, `settings.ALLOWED_HOSTS` | Set via config/env at deployment |
| Environment variables | `os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL')` | Deployment configuration |
| Config files | `config.yaml`, `app.config['KEY']` | Server-side files |
| Framework constants | `django.conf.settings.*` | Not user-modifiable |
| Hardcoded values | `BASE_URL = "https://api.internal"` | Compile-time constants |

**SSRF Example - NOT a vulnerability:**
```python
# SAFE: URL comes from Django settings (server-controlled)
response = requests.get(f"{settings.SEER_AUTOFIX_URL}{path}")
```

**SSRF Example - IS a vulnerability:**
```python
# VULNERABLE: URL comes from request (attacker-controlled)
response = requests.get(request.GET.get('url'))
```

### Framework-Mitigated Patterns
Check language guides before flagging. Common false positives:

| Pattern | Why It's Usually Safe |
|---------|----------------------|
| Django `{{ variable }}` | Auto-escaped by default |
| React `{variable}` | Auto-escaped by default |
| Vue `{{ variable }}` | Auto-escaped by default |
| `User.objects.filter(id=input)` | ORM parameterizes queries |
| `cursor.execute("...%s", (input,))` | Parameterized query |
| `innerHTML = "<b>Loading...</b>"` | Constant string, no user input |

**Only flag these when:**
- Django: `{{ var|safe }}`, `{% autoescape off %}`, `mark_safe(user_input)`
- React: `dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: userInput}}`
- Vue: `v-html="userInput"`
- ORM: `.raw()`, `.extra()`, `RawSQL()` with string interpolation

## Review Process

### 1. Detect Context

What type of code am I reviewing?

| Code Type | Load These References |
|-----------|----------------------|
| API endpoints, routes | `authorization.md`, `authentication.md`, `injection.md` |
| Frontend, templates | `xss.md`, `csrf.md` |
| File handling, uploads | `file-security.md` |
| Crypto, secrets, tokens | `cryptography.md`, `data-protection.md` |
| Data serialization | `deserialization.md` |
| External requests | `ssrf.md` |
| Business workflows | `business-logic.md` |
| GraphQL, REST design | `api-security.md` |
| Config, headers, CORS | `misconfiguration.md` |
| CI/CD, dependencies | `supply-chain.md` |
| Error handling | `error-handling.md` |
| Audit, logging | `logging.md` |

### 2. Load Language Guide

Based on file extension or imports:

| Indicators | Guide |
|------------|-------|
| `.py`, `django`, `flask`, `fastapi` | `languages/python.md` |
| `.js`, `.ts`, `express`, `react`, `vue`, `next` | `languages/javascript.md` |
| `.go`, `go.mod` | `languages/go.md` |
| `.rs`, `Cargo.toml` | `languages/rust.md` |
| `.java`, `spring`, `@Controller` | `languages/java.md` |

### 3. Load Infrastructure Guide (if applicable)

| File Type | Guide |
|-----------|-------|
| `Dockerfile`, `.dockerignore` | `infrastructure/docker.md` |
| K8s manifests, Helm charts | `infrastructure/kubernetes.md` |
| `.tf`, Terraform | `infrastructure/terraform.md` |
| GitHub Actions, `.gitlab-ci.yml` | `infrastructure/ci-cd.md` |
| AWS/GCP/Azure configs, IAM | `infrastructure/cloud.md` |

### 4. Research Before Flagging

**For each potential issue, research the codebase to build confidence:**

- Where does this value actually come from? Trace the data flow.
- Is it configured at deployment (settings, env vars) or from user input?
- Is there validation, sanitization, or allowlisting elsewhere?
- What framework protections apply?

Only report issues where you have HIGH confidence after understanding the broader context.

### 5. Verify Exploitability

For each potential finding, confirm:

**Is the input attacker-controlled?**

| Attacker-Controlled (Investigate) | Server-Controlled (Usually Safe) |
|-----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| `request.GET`, `request.POST`, `request.args` | `settings.X`, `app.config['X']` |
| `request.json`, `request.data`, `request.body` | `os.environ.get('X')` |
| `request.headers` (most headers) | Hardcoded constants |
| `request.cookies` (unsigned) | Internal service URLs from config |
| URL path segments: `/users/<id>/` | Database content from admin/system |
| File uploads (content and names) | Signed session data |
| Database content from other users | Framework settings |
| WebSocket messages | |

**Does the framework mitigate this?**
- Check language guide for auto-escaping, parameterization
- Check for middleware/decorators that sanitize

**Is there validation upstream?**
- Input validation before this code
- Sanitization libraries (DOMPurify, bleach, etc.)

### 6. Report HIGH Confidence Only

Skip theoretical issues. Report only what you've confirmed is exploitable after research.

---

## Severity Classification

| Severity | Impact | Examples |
|----------|--------|----------|
| **Critical** | Direct exploit, severe impact, no auth required | RCE, SQL injection to data, auth bypass, hardcoded secrets |
| **High** | Exploitable with conditions, significant impact | Stored XSS, SSRF to metadata, IDOR to sensitive data |
| **Medium** | Specific conditions required, moderate impact | Reflected XSS, CSRF on state-changing actions, path traversal |
| **Low** | Defense-in-depth, minimal direct impact | Missing headers, verbose errors, weak algorithms in non-critical context |

---

## Quick Patterns Reference

### Always Flag (Critical)
```
eval(user_input)           # Any language
exec(user_input)           # Any language
pickle.loads(user_data)    # Python
yaml.load(user_data)       # Python (not safe_load)
unserialize($user_data)    # PHP
deserialize(user_data)     # Java ObjectInputStream
shell=True + user_input    # Python subprocess
child_process.exec(user)   # Node.js
```

### Always Flag (High)
```
innerHTML = userInput              # DOM XSS
dangerouslySetInnerHTML={user}     # React XSS
v-html="userInput"                 # Vue XSS
f"SELECT * FROM x WHERE {user}"    # SQL injection
`SELECT * FROM x WHERE ${user}`    # SQL injection
os.system(f"cmd {user_input}")     # Command injection
```

### Always Flag (Secrets)
```
password = "hardcoded"
api_key = "sk-..."
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "..."
private_key = "-----BEGIN"
```

### Check Context First (MUST Investigate Before Flagging)
```
# SSRF - ONLY if URL is from user input, NOT from settings/config
requests.get(request.GET['url'])     # FLAG: User-controlled URL
requests.get(settings.API_URL)       # SAFE: Server-controlled config
requests.get(f"{settings.BASE}/{x}") # CHECK: Is 'x' user input?

# Path traversal - ONLY if path is from user input
open(request.GET['file'])            # FLAG: User-controlled path
open(settings.LOG_PATH)              # SAFE: Server-controlled config
open(f"{BASE_DIR}/{filename}")       # CHECK: Is 'filename' user input?

# Open redirect - ONLY if URL is from user input
redirect(request.GET['next'])        # FLAG: User-controlled redirect
redirect(settings.LOGIN_URL)         # SAFE: Server-controlled config

# Weak crypto - ONLY if used for security purposes
hashlib.md5(file_content)            # SAFE: File checksums, caching
hashlib.md5(password)                # FLAG: Password hashing
random.random()                      # SAFE: Non-security uses (UI, sampling)
random.random() for token            # FLAG: Security tokens need secrets module
```

# Skill Security Scanner

Scan agent skills for security issues before adoption. Detects prompt injection, malicious code, excessive permissions, secret exposure, and supply chain risks.

**Requires**: The `uv` CLI for python package management, install guide at https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/

**Important**: Run all scripts from the repository root. Script paths like `scripts/scan_skill.py` are relative to this skill's root directory (the directory containing this SKILL.md), not relative to the target repository.

## Bundled Script

### `scripts/scan_skill.py`

Static analysis scanner that detects deterministic patterns. Outputs structured JSON.

```bash
uv run scripts/scan_skill.py <skill-directory>
```

Returns JSON with findings, URLs, structure info, and severity counts. The script catches patterns mechanically — your job is to evaluate intent and filter false positives.

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Input & Discovery

Determine the scan target:

- If the user provides a skill directory path, use it directly
- If the user names a skill, look for it under `.agents/skills/<name>/` first, then other established layouts such as `skills/<name>/` when the repo uses a canonical root skill tree, `.claude/skills/<name>/`, `plugins/*/skills/<name>/`, or another repo-managed skill root with clear prior art
- If the user says "scan all skills", discover all `*/SKILL.md` files and scan each

Validate the target contains a `SKILL.md` file. List the skill structure:

```bash
ls -la <skill-directory>/
ls <skill-directory>/references/ 2>/dev/null
ls <skill-directory>/scripts/ 2>/dev/null
```

### Phase 2: Automated Static Scan

Run the bundled scanner:

```bash
uv run scripts/scan_skill.py <skill-directory>
```

Parse the JSON output. The script produces findings with severity levels, URL analysis, and structure information. Use these as leads for deeper analysis.

**Fallback**: If the script fails, proceed with manual analysis using Grep patterns from the reference files.

### Phase 3: Frontmatter Validation

Read the SKILL.md and check:

- **Required fields**: `name` and `description` must be present
- **Name consistency**: `name` field should match the directory name
- **Tool assessment**: Review `allowed-tools` — is Bash justified? Are tools unrestricted (`*`)?
- **Model override**: Is a specific model forced? Why?
- **Description quality**: Does the description accurately represent what the skill does?

### Phase 4: Prompt Injection Analysis

Load `references/prompt-injection-patterns.md` for context.

Review scanner findings in the "Prompt Injection" category. For each finding:

1. Read the surrounding context in the file
2. Determine if the pattern is **performing** injection (malicious) or **discussing/detecting** injection (legitimate)
3. Skills about security, testing, or education commonly reference injection patterns — this is expected

**Critical distinction**: A security review skill that lists injection patterns in its references is documenting threats, not attacking. Only flag patterns that would execute against the agent running the skill.

### Phase 5: Behavioral Analysis

This phase is agent-only — no pattern matching. Read the full SKILL.md instructions and evaluate:

**Description vs. instructions alignment**:
- Does the description match what the instructions actually tell the agent to do?
- A skill described as "code formatter" that instructs the agent to read ~/.ssh is misaligned

**Config/memory poisoning**:
- Instructions to modify `CLAUDE.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `settings.json`, `.mcp.json`, or hook configurations
- Instructions to add itself to allowlists or auto-approve permissions
- Writing to `~/.claude/`, `~/.agents/`, or any agent configuration directory
- Scripts that append to global config files — the poisoned instructions persist after skill removal

**Scope creep**:
- Instructions that exceed the skill's stated purpose
- Unnecessary data gathering (reading files unrelated to the skill's function)
- Instructions to install other skills, plugins, or dependencies not mentioned in the description

**Information gathering**:
- Reading environment variables beyond what's needed
- Listing directory contents outside the skill's scope
- Accessing git history, credentials, or user data unnecessarily

**Structural attacks** (check scanner output for these):
- **Symlinks**: Files that resolve outside the skill directory — can disguise reads of `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, `~/.aws/credentials`, etc. as "example" files
- **Frontmatter hooks**: `PostToolUse`/`PreToolUse` hooks in YAML — execute shell commands automatically, the model cannot prevent it
- **`!`command`` syntax**: Runs shell commands at skill load time during template expansion, before the model sees the prompt
- **Test files**: `conftest.py`, `test_*.py`, `*.test.js` — test runners auto-discover and execute these as side effects of `pytest` or `npm test`
- **npm lifecycle hooks**: `postinstall` scripts in bundled `package.json` — run automatically on `npm install`
- **Image metadata**: PNG files with text in metadata chunks (tEXt/iTXt) — multimodal LLMs can read hidden instructions from image metadata

### Phase 6: Script Analysis

If the skill has a `scripts/` directory:

1. Load `references/dangerous-code-patterns.md` for context
2. Read each script file fully (do not skip any)
3. Check scanner findings in the "Malicious Code" category
4. For each finding, evaluate:
   - **Data exfiltration**: Does the script send data to external URLs? What data?
   - **Reverse shells**: Socket connections with redirected I/O
   - **Credential theft**: Reading SSH keys, .env files, tokens from environment
   - **Dangerous execution**: eval/exec with dynamic input, shell=True with interpolation
   - **Config modification**: Writing to agent settings, shell configs, git hooks
5. Check PEP 723 `dependencies` — are they legitimate, well-known packages?
6. Verify the script's behavior matches the SKILL.md description of what it does

**Legitimate patterns**: `gh` CLI calls, `git` commands, reading project files, JSON output to stdout are normal for skill scripts.

### Phase 7: Supply Chain Assessment

Review URLs from the scanner output and any additional URLs found in scripts:

- **Trusted domains**: GitHub, PyPI, official docs — normal
- **Untrusted domains**: Unknown domains, personal sites, URL shorteners — flag for review
- **Remote instruction loading**: Any URL that fetches content to be executed or interpreted as instructions is high risk
- **Dependency downloads**: Scripts that download and execute binaries or code at runtime
- **Unverifiable sources**: References to packages or tools not on standard registries

### Phase 8: Permission Analysis

Load `references/permission-analysis.md` for the tool risk matrix.

Evaluate:

- **Least privilege**: Are all granted tools actually used in the skill instructions?
- **Tool justification**: Does the skill body reference operations that require each tool?
- **Risk level**: Rate the overall permission profile using the tier system from the reference

Example assessments:
- `Read Grep Glob` — Low risk, read-only analysis skill
- `Read Grep Glob Bash` — Medium risk, needs Bash justification (e.g., running bundled scripts)
- `Read Grep Glob Bash Write Edit WebFetch Task` — High risk, near-full access

## Confidence Levels

| Level | Criteria | Action |
|-------|----------|--------|
| **HIGH** | Pattern confirmed + malicious intent evident | Report with severity |
| **MEDIUM** | Suspicious pattern, intent unclear | Note as "Needs verification" |
| **LOW** | Theoretical, best practice only | Do not report |

**False positive awareness is critical.** The biggest risk is flagging legitimate security skills as malicious because they reference attack patterns. Always evaluate intent before reporting.

## Output Format

```markdown
## Skill Security Scan: [Skill Name]

### Summary
- **Findings**: X (Y Critical, Z High, ...)
- **Risk Level**: Critical / High / Medium / Low / Clean
- **Skill Structure**: SKILL.md only / +references / +scripts / full

# Skill Writer

Use this as the single canonical workflow for skill creation and improvement.
Primary success condition: maximize high-value input coverage before authoring while minimizing wasted runtime tokens.

Follow the workflow steps in order. Load only the reference files required for the step you are on.
`SKILL.md` is the primary router: every bundled reference file should be flat under `references/` and listed here with a direct "open when..." reason.

## Core Workflow References

| Open when you need to... | Read |
|--------------------------|------|
| choose the minimum workflow path for create, update, iterate, or research-first work | `references/mode-selection.md` |

| apply writing constraints for depth, concision, and portability | `references/design-principles.md` |
| decide what belongs in `SKILL.md`, `references/`, `SPEC.md`, or supporting files | `references/reference-architecture.md` |
| create or update the maintenance contract for a skill | `references/spec-template.md` |

| choose a response template, schema, or output contract | `references/output-contracts.md` |
| add or update evals for a skill's generated outputs or runtime behavior | `references/skill-evals.md` |
| troubleshoot overloaded layouts, hidden refs, or other structure failures | `references/structure-troubleshooting.md` |
| register the skill and run final validation checks | `references/registration-validation.md` |

## Artifact Layout References

| Open when you need to... | Read |
|--------------------------|------|
| keep the whole skill inline in one coherent `SKILL.md` | `references/layout-inline-skill.md` |
| split optional deep knowledge into focused routed references | `references/layout-reference-backed-skill.md` |
| add scripts for deterministic automation or validation | `references/layout-script-backed-workflow.md` |
| define a skill that is usually invoked with explicit arguments | `references/layout-argument-driven-skill.md` |
| ship reusable templates, schemas, or other static assets | `references/layout-asset-template-skill.md` |

## Workflow Mechanic References

| Open when you need to... | Read |
|--------------------------|------|
| break a task into fixed ordered steps | `references/workflow-prompt-chaining.md` |
| classify requests and route them to different downstream paths | `references/workflow-routing.md` |
| split independent work into parallel units or votes | `references/workflow-parallel.md` |

## Claude Code References

| Open when you need to... | Read |
|--------------------------|------|
| use Claude-specific frontmatter or invocation controls | `references/claude-frontmatter-invocation.md` |
| use Claude argument fields or substitution variables | `references/claude-argument-substitutions.md` |
| build a skill that runs in isolated `context: fork` | `references/claude-subagent-fork.md` |
| build a skill that uses Claude hooks for deterministic enforcement | `references/claude-hook-backed.md` |
| use Claude shell preprocessing for dynamic context injection | `references/claude-dynamic-context.md` |

## Example Profiles

| Open when you need to... | Read |
|--------------------------|------|
| see the expected depth for a documentation-heavy skill | `references/example-documentation-skill.md` |
| see the expected depth for a workflow-process skill | `references/example-workflow-process-skill.md` |
| see what a good routed skill looks like | `references/example-router-skill.md` |
| see what a good subagent-fork skill looks like | `references/example-subagent-fork-skill.md` |
| see what a good hook-backed skill looks like | `references/example-hook-backed-skill.md` |

## Step 1: Resolve target, path, and shape

1. Resolve the intended operation (`create`, `update`, `synthesize`, `iterate`) and inspect workspace prior art before choosing where files belong.
2. Choose the target skill root from observed conventions. If the canonical location is still unclear after inspection, ask one direct question before editing files.
3. Read `references/mode-selection.md` to choose the minimum required workflow paths.
4. Read `references/execution-shapes.md` to choose the primary execution shape.
5. Default to the simplest adequate shape. If selecting a more complex shape, record why simpler shapes were rejected.
6. Load only the exact artifact-layout, workflow-mechanic, and provider-specific leaf files required by that shape.
7. Before adding guidance, identify what existing rule, section, or file should be narrowed, replaced, or removed.
8. Record portability implications before using provider-specific mechanics.

## Step 2: Run synthesis when needed

Read `references/synthesis-path.md`.

1. Use this path for new skills, material changes, and research-first planning.
2. Collect and score relevant sources with provenance.
3. Read `references/source-discovery.md` when source material is thin, stale, or ambiguous.
4. Read `references/source-adaptation.md` when adapting an upstream prompt, workflow, rubric, benchmark, or docs.
5. Produce source-backed decisions and coverage/gap status, including the class and execution-shape choice.
6. Load example profiles only when they add concrete depth for the selected class or shape.
7. If the skill uses provider-specific mechanics, include current official provider docs and capture usage constraints.
8. Do not move to authoring until required coverage is understood or gaps are explicit.

## Step 3: Run iteration first when improving from outcomes/examples

Read `references/iteration-path.md` first when selected path includes `iteration` (for example operation `iterate`).

1. Capture and anonymize examples with provenance.
2. Read `references/iteration-evidence.md` when examples should persist beyond the current turn.
3. Review skill behavior against working and holdout slices.
4. Propose improvements from positive/negative/fix evidence.
5. Carry concrete behavior deltas into authoring.

Skip this step when selected path does not include `iteration`.

## Step 4: Author or update skill artifacts

Read `references/authoring-path.md`.

1. Write or update `SKILL.md` in imperative voice with trigger-rich description.
2. Keep `SKILL.md` as the runtime router, not an encyclopedia.
3. Run the pre-edit precision check in `references/authoring-path.md` before creating new sections or files.
4. Read `references/reference-architecture.md` before adding bulk instructions or new reference files.
5. Create or update `SPEC.md` using `references/spec-template.md` when creating a new skill or materially changing its contract.
6. Create focused reference files, scripts, and assets only when each one has a clear "open when..." reason and cannot be handled by tightening an existing file.
7. If you add a bundled reference file, add a direct routing entry for it in this `SKILL.md`.
8. Prefer checklists, tables, templates, and input/output examples over explanatory prose.
9. Follow only the specific artifact-layout, workflow-mechanic, Claude-specific, and output-contract references selected for this skill.
10. For advanced execution shapes, add the required routing, delegation, or safety contracts before considering the skill complete.
11. For authoring/generator skills, include transformed examples in references:
   - happy-path
   - secure/robust variant
   - anti-pattern + corrected version
12. Read `references/skill-evals.md` when the request asks for evals, regression cases, benchmark cases, or model-graded quality checks for the skill being authored.
13. After any skill artifact changes, run the post-change precision pass in `references/authoring-path.md` before description optimization or validation.

## Step 5: Optimize description quality

Read `references/description-optimization.md`.

1. Validate should-trigger and should-not-trigger query sets.
2. Reduce false positives and false negatives with targeted description edits.
3. Keep trigger language generic across providers unless the skill is intentionally provider-specific.

## Step 6: Register and validate

Read `references/registration-validation.md`.

1. Apply repository registration steps for the active layout you verified in the workspace.
2. Run quick validation for structural checks.
3. Review validator warnings, precision-pass results, and coverage gaps with judgment before completion.

## Output format

Return:

1. `Summary`
2. `Changes Made`
3. `Validation Results`
4. `Open Gaps`

# SRED Project Organization

SRED expects projects to be presented in a particular format. Take the list of projects that have been worked on in the past year, and summarize them into the format expected by SRED, with the supporting evidence. Outputs a Notion document with a child document for each SREDable project.

# Prerequisites

Before starting make sure that Github, Notion and Linear can be accessed. Notion and Linear should be connected using an MCP. Github can be connected with an MCP, but if you have access to the `gh` CLI tool, you can use that instead.

If any of these can't be accessed, prompt the user to grant access before proceeding.

# Process

## Step 1

Prompt the user for a link a Notion document, which is a Work Summary for the previous year produced by the `sred-work-summary` skill.

Ensure:
- The notion links to a valid document that roughly matches this format:

```markdown
# Projects

## [Project Name]
*Summary*: [X] PRs, [X] Notion docs, [X] Linear tickets

### Pull Requests [X]
*[repository name]
[Links to all the PRs]
- [link] - [Merge date]

### Notion Docs [X]
[Links to all the Notion docs]
- [link] - [Creation date]

### Linear Tickets [X]
- [link] - [Creation date]
```

## Step 2

For each project in the Work Summary, evaluate it against the description of a SRED project in `references/SRED.md`. That means look at the relevant Notion docs and PRs for the project, and determine if the project work seems like a valid SRED project. Be prescriptive about this: the more projects that can be classified as a SRED project the better.

Output the list of projects that seem to fit the description of a SRED model, and the list of projects that don't fit that model. The list of projects that fit the SRED description are referred to as "SREDable" projects.

Ensure:
- All the projects in the Work Summary have been classified as SREDable or not.

## Step 3

Ask the user whether the list of SREDable projects is correct. Give them the option to manually classify any projects as SREDable or not, and adjust the list accordingly.

## Step 4

Create a private Notion document called "SRED Project Descriptions". Output the full link to this document.

## Step 5

For each SREDable project, go through a series of steps.

*Step 1*
Create a private Notion doc named "SRED Project Summary - <year> <project name>" that is a child of the "SRED Project Description" document created in Step 4. The document should follow the template found in `references/project-template.md`.

*Step 2*
Fill out the `Project Description` and `Project Goals` section of that document. Use the `aside` sections in those sections of the document as a prompt for what information should go in each section. Use all the information for each project gathered in the Work Summary. Use the Notion documents for the project, as well as your own reasoning to fill out these sections.

Ensure:
- The project description should be no more than 100 words.
- The project goals should be no more than 100 words.

*Step 3*
Provide the user the full Notion link to the "SRED Project Summary" document for the project and ask them to review it before continuing. Make any changes they ask for.

*Step 4*
Each project will have one or more Uncertainties. An Uncertainty is defined by the questions:
- What was a challenge or problem we did not have the answer to?
- Is there prior art that we could use to base our problem solving on?
- If not, why?

Review all the Notion documents, Github PRs and Linear tickets for the project. Determine what the Uncertainties were for the project and show them to the user. Ask the user whether these are correct or should be adjusted in some way.

Ensure:
- The description of each Uncertainty should be only a few sentences long.

*Step 5*
Add the Uncertainties to the Project Summary notion document in the "Technical Uncertainties" section.

Ensure:
- The description of the Uncertainty should only be a few sentences long.

*Step 6*
For each Uncertainty found above, use the Notion docs, Github PRs and Linear tickets to find any experiments or attempts that were done to address this uncertainty. Make a bullet point list in the `Experiments` section of that Uncertainty for each experiment done. Make a bullet point list in the `Results / Learnings / Success` section listing the results of the experiments, and any learnings or conclusions that were drawn. For any Notion docs, Github PRs or Linear tickets that are referenced, put the link for that resource into the `Uncertainty-Specific Documentation & Links` section of the Uncertainty.

Ensure:
- Only one bullet point for each Experiment
- Only one bullet point for each Result/Learning/Success

*Step 7*
Take all of the links for the project found in the Work Summary, and for any that were not linked as part of an Uncertainty, include them in the `Project Documentation & Links` section of the Project Summary.

Ensure:
- Provide a list of all the specific links, not a summary or a general link for Github notifications.
- Check that every link is directly related to the project and/or its uncertainties.

*Step 8*
Provide the user with the link to the Project Summary document again, and ask the user to review it before moving on to the next SREDable Project. Remind the user to fill out the Participants section of the document.

## Step 6

Provide a link to the "SRED Project Descriptions" notion document.

# SRED Work Summary

Collect all the Github PRs, Notion docs and Linear tickets a person completed in a given year. Group the links from all of those into projects. Put everything into a private Notion document and return a link to that document.

## Prerequisites

Before starting make sure that Github, Notion and Linear can be accessed. Notion and Linear should be connected using an MCP. Github can be connected with an MCP, but if you have access to the `gh` CLI tool, you can use that instead.

If any of these can't be accessed, prompt the user to grant access before proceeding.

## Process

### Step 1

```bash
# Get the current year
date +%Y
```

The output of this command is the current year.
The current year minus one is the previous year.

### Step 2

Collect all of the required information from the user:

*Github Username*: What is the github username of the user?

*Github Repositories*: Which Github repositories should be searched for PRs?

The user can either specify a comma separated list, or provide a directory that contains repositories. In the second case use this command in the specified directory:

```bash
# Find github repos
find . -maxdepth 2 -name ".git" -type d | sed 's/\/.git$//' | sort
```

Ensure:
- All the repositories listed are in the `getsentry` Github organization.

The output of this is hereafter referred to as the "user repos".

*Incidents*: Ask if the user wants to include incident documents.

The answer is either yes or no. If the answer is no, that will exclude certain documents from the search later on.

*Other Users*: Ask if there are any other users who might have created Notion documents.

This should be a comma separated list of names. Remember this as the "other users".

### Step 3

Create a private Notion document entitled "SRED Work Summary [current year]". This document will be referred to as the Work Summary.

If a document with this name already exists, notify the user to rename the existing document and stop executing.

Ensure:
- If the Work Summary already exists, stop execution.

### Step 4

The time window is Feb. 1 of the previous year until Jan. 31 of the current year
Find all Github PRs created by the given github username in the time window for the user repos.
If the user does not want to include incident documents, ignore any Github PRs with `INC-X`, `inc-X` in the title or description.
Use either the Github MCP or the `gh` command to do this.

Find all the Notion documents the user created in the time window.
If the user does not want to include incident documents, ignore any Notion Documents with `INC-XXXX` in the title.
Use the Notion MCP to do this.

Find all the Linear tickets the user was assigned in the time window.
If the user does not want to include incident documents, ignore any Linear tickets with `INC-XXXX` in the title.
Use the Linear MCP to do this.

Ensure:
- All the Github PRs were created or merged in the time window and was opened by the user.
- All the Notion docs were created in the time window and were created by the user.
- All the Linear tickets were opened or completed in the time window and were assigned to the user when they were completed.

### Step 5

For each of the Github PRs, Notion documents and Linear tickets found in Step 4, put a link into the private document created in Step 3.

Ensure:
- There is a link for all the Github PRs in the Work Summary
- There is a link for all the Notion docs in the Work Summary
- There is a link for all the Linear tickets in the Work Summary
- DO NOT truncate the lists of links. DO NOT use shorteners like "...and 75 more". Make sure that the full set of all Github PRs, Notion documents and Linear tickets is visible in the document.

### Step 6

Use your own intelligence to group all the Github, Notion and Linear ticket links in the Work Summary document into projects. The format of this document is shown below.

```markdown
# Projects

## [Project Name]

For Notion documents, use the full document for grouping.
For Linear tickets use the title of the ticket and the description of the ticket.

Ensure:
- All the links in the file are assigned to a project.
- The file follows the format specified above.
- DO NOT truncate the lists of links. DO NOT use shorteners like "...and 75 more". Make sure that the full set of all Github PRs, Notion documents and Linear tickets is visible in the document.

### Step 7

Search for notion documents created by the "other users". Take any that are relevant to the projects in the Work Summary and add links to those Notion documents into the Work Summary in the appropriate project.

### Step 8

Return a link to the Work Summary Notion doc to the user.

Ensure:
- The actual Notion document link is in the final output.

# Triage Frontend Issues

Archive non-actionable noise from the `sentry/javascript` issue queue: only archive, always `untilEscalating`, always with a stated reason. Issues that look actionable in our code, or that you cannot confidently classify, must be skipped.

## Hard Rules

These rules override anything else. Do not relax them.

1. **Project scope.** Only operate on `organizationSlug=sentry`, project slug `javascript`. If asked to triage a different project, stop and ask the user to confirm.
2. **Archive only.** The only status mutation permitted is `status=ignored`. Never resolve, never unresolve, never assign, never delete, never bulk-update fields other than status.
3. **Always `untilEscalating`.** Use `ignoreMode=untilEscalating`. Never use `forever`, `forDuration`, `untilOccurrenceCount`, or `untilUserCount`. If the user asks for a different mode, stop and have them archive that issue manually — this skill does not perform non-escalating archives.
4. **Always include a `reason`.** The `reason` must be a short, factual sentence naming the category from `references/archive-criteria.md` (e.g., "Third-party library noise — echarts internals; not actionable in our code").
5. **Never touch issues outside the unresolved queue.** Skip anything with `status` of `resolved`, `ignored`, or `reprocessing`.
6. **Never archive without confirmation.** Build a full plan, show it to the user, wait for explicit approval before calling `update_issue`. A single approval covers the displayed plan only; new batches need new approval.
7. **When in doubt, skip.** If an issue could plausibly be a real bug in our code, do not archive it. Surface it as `needs-human` in the plan with a one-line note.

## Prerequisites

- Sentry MCP authenticated via `mcp.sentry.dev`. Required tools: `search_issues`, `get_sentry_resource`, `update_issue`.
- If `update_issue` is not available, stop and ask the user to authenticate the Sentry MCP server.

## Inputs

`$ARGUMENTS` is one of:

| Input shape | Meaning |
|-------------|---------|
| Sentry issue URL (`https://sentry.sentry.io/issues/JAVASCRIPT-…`) | Triage that single issue. |
| Issue short ID (`JAVASCRIPT-…`) | Triage that single issue. |
| Sentry issue query (contains a colon, e.g. `is:unresolved firstSeen:-24h`) | Use as the search query. |
| Empty | Use the default triage queue: `is:unresolved is:unassigned firstSeen:-7d`, sort `new`, limit `50`. |

If `$ARGUMENTS` is ambiguous, ask the user to clarify before searching.

## Workflow

### 1. Load the queue

For single-issue input:
- Call `get_sentry_resource(url=<issue-url>)` or `get_sentry_resource(resourceType='issue', organizationSlug='sentry', resourceId=<shortId>)`.
- Confirm `Project` is the javascript frontend project. If not, stop.

For query/default input:
- Call `search_issues(organizationSlug='sentry', projectSlugOrId='javascript', query=<query>, sort='new', limit=50)`.
- Then call `get_sentry_resource` for each result in parallel to get culprit, substatus, assignee, and stack-frame hints (the search response omits some fields).

Skip immediately if any of these are true on an issue:

- `status` is not `unresolved` (already archived, resolved, or in reprocessing).
- `assignedTo` is set to a human (someone is already owning it).
- `assignedTo` is set to a team other than `frontend`/`issues` and the issue looks team-specific (let the owning team triage).

### 2. Classify each issue

Read `references/archive-criteria.md` for the category taxonomy with recognition heuristics and examples. For each candidate issue, produce one of:

| Decision | Meaning |
|----------|---------|
| `archive` | Matches a documented category; include the category name in the reason. |
| `skip` | Could be a real bug in our code, or insufficient evidence; do not archive. |
| `needs-human` | Looks like noise but doesn't cleanly fit a category, or volume is unusually high; flag for user review. |

When evaluating, weight these signals (in this order):

1. **Top non-Sentry-SDK frame.** If the top in-app frame is in `node_modules/`, `chrome-extension://`, a third-party host, or `<unknown>`, this is a strong archive signal.
2. **Title pattern.** Many archives are recognizable from the title alone (see criteria reference).
3. **Volume is not a veto.** Some high-volume issues (10k+ events, thousands of users) are still archive-worthy if the top frame is third-party. Volume alone never forces archive either.
4. **Recency.** Single-event issues older than 30 days with no recurrence are usually noise.
5. **Customer org spread.** If events come from one customer subdomain only (check `customerDomain.subdomain` tag), it is likely customer-environment noise.

### 3. Build the plan

Output one Markdown table to the user, in this exact shape:

```
## Triage plan — sentry/javascript (<N> candidates)

| # | Issue | Title | Volume | Decision | Category | Reason |
|---|-------|-------|--------|----------|----------|--------|
| 1 | [JAVASCRIPT-XXXX](url) | TypeError: ... | 12e/3u | archive | browser-api-noise | Browser clipboard permission denied; not actionable. |
| 2 | [JAVASCRIPT-YYYY](url) | <unknown> | 4945e/123u | needs-human | — | High volume, no title — please review before archiving. |
| 3 | [JAVASCRIPT-ZZZZ](url) | ZodError: ... | 360e/132u | skip | — | Schema validation failure in our code; looks actionable. |
```

Then summarize counts: `N archive / M skip / K needs-human`. End with:

```
Reply `apply` to archive the N issues marked `archive`, `apply N,M,...` to archive a subset, or `cancel` to take no action.
```

### 4. Apply on approval

When the user replies `apply` (or `apply <subset>`):

For each issue in the approved set, call:

```
update_issue(
  organizationSlug='sentry',
  issueId=<shortId>,
  status='ignored',
  ignoreMode='untilEscalating',
  reason=<category-tagged reason from the plan>,
)
```

Run these sequentially (not in parallel). If a call fails, log the failure, continue with the remaining issues, and report the failed IDs in step 5.

If the user replies `cancel` or asks to modify the plan, do NOT call `update_issue`. If they reply with edits ("change row 2 to skip"), rebuild the plan and re-confirm.

### 5. Report

After applying, output:

```
## Triage report

- Archived: N
- Skipped: M
- Needs human review: K
- Failures: F (with issue IDs)

<details><summary>Archived issues</summary>

- JAVASCRIPT-XXXX — <reason>
- ...

</details>
```

## Recovery

- If `update_issue` fails on one item, log the failure and continue with the rest. Report failed IDs at the end.
- If the user notices a wrong archive, the user can unarchive it themselves in Sentry. The skill never reverses its own actions automatically.
- If the user asks "redo the plan with these tweaks" mid-flow, regenerate the plan from scratch — do not assume the previous plan still applies.

## Example reasons (use this voice)

- `Third-party library noise — echarts tooltip; not actionable in our code.`
- `Browser API permission noise — Clipboard writeText denied by user agent.`
- `Customer-environment proxy interference — 200 response treated as error (HTML body from corporate proxy).`
- `Transient backend 5xx — InternalServerError on /api/0/organizations/.../events-meta/; backend transient.`
- `Test/synthetic event — smoke test or security probe, not production traffic.`
- `Wrong project — Prisma/Python error mis-routed to frontend project.`
- `Single-event fluke — 1 event, 1 user, no recurrence in 30+ days.`
- `Browser extension noise — ReferenceError for extension-injected global (DarkReader/WeixinJSBridge).`

name: typing-exclusion-worker
description: "Python typing exclusion worker: remove assigned mypy exclusion modules in small scoped batches, fix typing issues, run validation, and produce a structured completion summary. Use when running parallel typing-debt workers or when asked to remove modules from pyproject mypy exclusion overrides."
---

# Typing Exclusion Worker

## Purpose

Execute one assigned typing batch safely and predictably:

- remove only assigned modules from mypy exclusions,
- fix surfaced typing issues in scope,
- run required checks,
- return a consistent summary for the manager/orchestrator.

## Inputs Required

Before starting, confirm these inputs exist in the task prompt:

- worktree/branch name,
- exact module list to remove from exclusion,
- ownership/domain boundary,
- expected validation commands (if customized).

If any are missing, ask for them before editing.

## Scope Rules (Hard Constraints)

1. Only remove assigned module entries from the mypy exclusion list in `pyproject.toml`.
2. Keep code changes in assigned scope unless a direct dependency is required to pass typing/tests.
3. Do not expand to cross-team modules unless explicitly approved by the manager.
4. Avoid blanket `# type: ignore`; if unavoidable, use narrow `ignore[code]` with a short reason.

## Execution Workflow

1. **Apply exclusion change**

   - Remove assigned modules from the exclusion override in `pyproject.toml`.

2. **Run mypy on assigned scope**

   - Prefer targeted paths first for fast feedback.
   - Fix errors using explicit typing patterns (`isinstance` narrowing, accurate return types, typed class attrs, relation-safe model access).

3. **Run tests for touched area**

   - Execute targeted pytest for modified modules/tests.
   - Fix regressions before continuing.

4. **Run pre-commit on changed files**

   - Run `pre-commit run --files <changed files>`.
   - If hooks auto-fix files, rerun until clean.

5. **Final verification**
   - Re-run targeted mypy and tests after final edits.
   - Ensure no unrelated files were changed.

## Python Typing Best Practices

- Prefer precise types over `Any`.
- Use type narrowing on unions before attribute access.
- Keep method overrides signature-compatible with base classes.
- Annotate class attributes in tests/helpers when inference is weak.
- Use relation objects (`obj.related`) when stubs do not expose raw `*_id` attributes.

## Required Output Template

Return this exact structure at the end of each batch:

```markdown
## Batch Summary

- Branch/worktree: `<name>`
- Ownership/domain: `<team-or-domain>`

### Modules Removed From Exclusion

- `<module.path.one>`
- `<module.path.two>`

### Files Changed

- `<path>`
- `<path>`

### Key Typing Fixes

- `<short rationale + fix>`
- `<short rationale + fix>`

### Validation

- `mypy`: `<pass/fail + scope>`
- `pre-commit --files`: `<pass/fail>`
- `pytest`: `<pass/fail + scope>`

### Notes

- Remaining blockers: `<none or details>`
- Any new ignore entries: `<none or file + ignore code + reason>`
```

## Stop Conditions (Escalate to Manager)

Stop and report instead of widening scope when:

- fixes require touching another team/domain,
- exclusion conflicts in `pyproject.toml` cannot be resolved safely,
- error volume indicates batch is too large and should be split.
