peepshow sink / sentry

SentrySend the run as a Sentry event with full context.

Frames as attachments, metadata as tags, peepshow run ID as fingerprint.

What it does

Fire a peepshow run into Sentry as a single event: tags are populated from video metadata (title, director, duration), frames are attached as screenshots, the fingerprint keeps related runs grouped.

When to reach for it

  • Agent crash on a specific video → surface the exact frames in Sentry
  • Automated soak-tests of media pipelines with video evidence in error reports
  • Environment-specific debugging: tag events by `which video made the agent fail`

Install

npm i -g peepshow

Use it

peepshow ./trigger.mp4 --sink sentry \
  --sink-arg dsn=https://...ingest.sentry.io/...

Make it automatic

Register the sink once — every run fires it afterward. Scope by --when so it only runs for matching videos.

peepshow sinks add sentry
peepshow sinks add sentry --when extension=mp4,mov
peepshow sinks add sentry --when path=/Volumes/Work/

Configuration

  • PEEPSHOW_SENTRY_DSN Sentry DSN. required
  • PEEPSHOW_SENTRY_ENV Environment tag. Default `peepshow`.

Use with an LLM agent

Every peepshow sink reads its config from env vars and receives a single JSON payload on stdin. An LLM agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, Codex) can drive the Sentry sink automatically when three things are true:

  • the env vars below are exported in the agent's shell (or a project .env it can load),
  • the peepshow CLI is on PATH — install with npm i -g peepshow,
  • a peepshow auto-sink is registered for the run (optional but recommended — makes invocation zero-argument).

1. Set the environment

# Add to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or a project .env the agent can load
export PEEPSHOW_SENTRY_DSN="..."

2. Register as an auto-sink

peepshow sinks add sentry
peepshow sinks add sentry --when extension=mp4,mov

3. Example LLM session

You → drop a .mov into Claude Code.

Claude → auto-invokes /peepshow:slides ./clip.mov. peepshow extracts frames + audio, the Sentry sink forwards the run to the alert / incident stream. Claude replies with a summary and a link to the created record.

Transcript metadata (language, duration, silence ratio) tags each event.

Write your own

A sink is any executable that reads the --emit json payload on stdin. Shell, Node, Python, Go — the spec's in docs/PLUGINS.md. Register persistent ones with peepshow sinks add-cmd 'your-command'.
