AI AGENTS

Sentry Error-Cluster Root-Cause Agent to Linear Bug

When a Sentry issue crosses an event threshold, an agent reads the stack trace, pulls the offending source from GitHub, diagnoses the likely cause.

What it does

Turns a noisy Sentry issue into an actionable, well-scoped Linear bug. When an issue spikes past a chosen event count, an agent inspects the stack trace, fetches the implicated source files from GitHub, reasons about the probable root cause, and files a Linear ticket that includes a hypothesis and a step-by-step reproduction plan.

When to use it

Use it when on-call engineers waste time triaging raw Sentry alerts that arrive without context. It is best for teams that route bugs through Linear and want each ticket to land with a repro plan already drafted, not just a stack trace pasted in.

How it works

  1. 1A Sentry issue alert fires once its event count crosses the configured threshold.
  2. 2A filter drops issues already linked to a ticket or below the severity bar.
  3. 3The agent fetches the full event payload, stack trace, and breadcrumbs from Sentry.
  4. 4It pulls the referenced source files and recent commits from GitHub for context.
  5. 5An OpenAI model ranks likely causes and drafts a numbered reproduction plan.
  6. 6A Linear bug is created with the diagnosis, repro steps, and a back-link to Sentry.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect SentryErrors, performance, releases.
  2. 2
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
