How do I trigger this skill in Claude Code?

You can activate it using natural language phrases like 'sentry performance', 'sentry tracing', 'sentry APM', or 'monitor performance with sentry'.

What does the Sentry Performance Tracing skill do?

It automates the setup of Sentry's performance monitoring tools, allowing you to track transactions and trace requests throughout your application stack.

What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

You need the Sentry SDK installed in your project, an active Sentry account with a performance plan enabled, and a basic understanding of tracing concepts.

Does it provide visualization for code bottlenecks?

Yes, it configures span breakdowns that allow you to see exactly which parts of a transaction—such as middleware, database calls, or external APIs—are causing delays.

Can this skill help with microservices?

Yes, it specifically supports distributed tracing, which helps you visualize and debug how requests move between different services in your architecture.
