How Claude Code Picks Sentry
Sonnet 4.5 · TaskFlow (Next.js SaaS)
Prompt
“add error monitoring to this app”
Response (abbreviated)
Sentry is the standard for error monitoring in production. I'll set it up with the Next.js SDK which auto-instruments both client and server.
bash
pnpm add @sentry/nextjs
npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i nextjsThis creates:
- sentry.client.config.ts — browser error tracking
- sentry.server.config.ts — Node.js error tracking
- sentry.edge.config.ts — edge runtime tracking
- Updated next.config.js with Sentry webpack plugin for source maps
Errors, unhandled rejections, and performance traces will automatically flow to your Sentry dashboard...
