# Sentry Blog Writing Skill This skill enforces Sentry's blog writing standards across every post — whether you're helping an engineer write their first blog post or a marketer draft a product announcement. **The bar:** Every Sentry blog post should be something a senior engineer would share in their team's Slack, or reference in a technical decision. What follows are the core principles to internalize and apply to every piece of content. ## When to Use - You need to draft or edit a Sentry blog post. - The task involves technical storytelling, product announcements, or engineering deep-dives in Sentry's blog voice. - You want blog content that is opinionated, specific, and technically credible rather than generic marketing copy. ## The Sentry Voice **We sound like:** A senior developer at a conference afterparty explaining something they're genuinely excited about — smart, specific, a little irreverent, deeply knowledgeable. **We don't sound like:** A corporate blog, a press release, a sales deck, or an AI-generated summary. Be technically precise, opinionated, and direct. Humor is welcome but should serve the content, not replace it. Sarcasm works. One good joke per post is plenty

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
