sentry-sdk-patterns

Execute best practices for using Sentry SDK in TypeScript and Python. Use when implementing error handling patterns, structuring Sentry code, or optimizing SDK usage. Trigger with phrases like "sentry best practices", "sentry patterns", "sentry sdk usage", "sentry code structure".

Sentry Sdk Patterns

Prerequisites

Sentry SDK installed and configured
Understanding of error handling concepts
Familiarity with async/await patterns

Instructions

Create a centralized error handler module for consistent error capture
Implement scoped context for transactions and operations
Add structured breadcrumbs for debugging context
Configure error boundaries in frameworks (React, Vue, etc.)
Use custom fingerprinting for better issue grouping
Implement async error handling with proper scope propagation
Add performance tracing for critical paths
Configure sampling rates based on traffic volume

See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

Clean, maintainable error handling code
Consistent error context across application
Efficient Sentry SDK usage
