Manage agent skill dependencies declared in agents.toml. dotagents resolves, installs, and symlinks skills so multiple agent tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, OpenCode) discover them from .agents/skills/.
Running dotagents
If dotagents is not available as a direct command, use npx @sentry/dotagents instead. For example: npx @sentry/dotagents sync. All commands and flags work the same way.

Key Concepts
.agents/skills/ is the canonical home for all installed skillsagents.toml declares dependencies; agents.lock pins exact commits and integrity hashes- Symlinks:
.claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/ point to .agents/skills/
- Wildcards:
name = "*" installs all skills from a source, with optional exclude list
- Trust: Optional
[trust] section restricts which sources are allowed
- Hooks:
[[hooks]] declarations write tool-event hooks to each agent's config
- Gitignore: When
gitignore = true, managed skills are gitignored; custom in-place skills are tracked
- User scope:
--user flag manages skills in ~/.agents/ shared across all projects
