# Sentry Incident Runbook
## Prerequisites
- Sentry account with access to project issues
- Alert rules configured for critical errors
- Team notification channels set up (Slack, PagerDuty)
- Understanding of error severity classification
## Instructions
1. Check Sentry dashboard for active incidents and error spikes
2. Classify incident severity using P0-P3 framework based on error rate and user impact
3. Complete initial triage checklist to assess scope and gather context
4. Use Sentry API commands to retrieve issue details and recent events
5. Identify error pattern (deployment-related, third-party failure, data corruption, resource exhaustion)
6. Apply appropriate resolution steps based on identified pattern
7. Communicate status using incident templates (initial alert, updates, resolution)
8. Document findings and complete postmortem checklist after resolution
## Output
- Incident severity classification
- Triage checklists completed
- Root cause documented
- Resolution timeline recorded
- Postmortem report generated
## Error Handling
See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.

This skill helps manage incident response procedures using Sentry to investigate production errors, triage issues, and run repeatable runbooks. It guides severity classification, initial triage, pattern identification, remediation steps, and documentation for post-incident reviews. Use it to streamline communication and ensure consistent, auditable incident handling.
The skill inspects active Sentry issues and recent events, pulling metadata via Sentry API commands to build context. It walks through a P0–P3 severity classification, runs a checklist to assess scope and user impact, identifies common error patterns, and suggests resolution steps. It produces structured outputs: severity, completed checklists, root-cause notes, a resolution timeline, and a postmortem template.
What prerequisites are required?
You need Sentry access to project issues, configured alert rules, notification channels (Slack, PagerDuty), and a shared severity framework.
What outputs will I get from running the runbook?
A classified incident severity, completed triage checklist, documented root cause, a resolution timeline, and a postmortem report template.
