Sentry Ruby SDK

Opinionated wizard that scans the project and guides through complete Sentry setup.

Invoke This Skill When

• User asks to "add Sentry to Ruby" or "set up Sentry" in a Ruby app
• User wants error monitoring, tracing, logging, metrics, profiling, or crons in Ruby
• User mentions sentry-ruby, sentry-rails, or the Ruby Sentry SDK
• User is migrating from AppSignal, Honeybadger, Bugsnag, Rollbar, or Airbrake to Sentry
• User wants to monitor exceptions, HTTP requests, or background jobs in Rails/Sinatra

Note: SDK APIs below reflect sentry-ruby v6.6.2. Always verify against docs.sentry.io/platforms/ruby/ before implementing.
