Sentry Spike Triage with Slack Reproduce-or-Skip Gate

On a Sentry error spike, an agent attempts a quick repro and posts a Slack triage card; an engineer's approval there decides whether it proceeds to draft a failing test in GitLab.

What it does

Adds a human-in-the-loop gate to auto-reproduction. When Sentry detects an error-rate spike, the agent does a lightweight reproduction attempt and posts a Slack triage card summarizing the error, likelihood of a real bug, and repro result. An engineer clicks Reproduce or Skip; only an approval pushes the agent to write a full failing test and open a GitLab MR.

When to use it

Use it when fully automated MR creation is too noisy and you want a fast human decision before committing engineering artifacts to GitLab.

How it works

  1. 1A Sentry metric alert fires on an error-rate spike.
  2. 2The agent fetches the issue grouping, top frames, and affected releases.
  3. 3It runs a short shell repro attempt and classifies confidence.
  4. 4The agent posts a Slack triage card with the summary, repro result, and action buttons.
  5. 5Logic gate: continue only if an engineer approves on Slack.
  6. 6On approval, the agent writes the failing test and opens a draft GitLab MR; on skip, it closes the loop with a note.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect SentryErrors, performance, releases.
  2. 2
    Connect ShellRun sandboxed commands inside the workspace.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Connect GitLabRepos, MRs, pipelines, registry.
  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.
