jira-comment-blockers

jira-comment-blockers is a command for Claude Code from james-prodopen/emcmd. It costs 0 tokens per session (542 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that finds and summarises blockers in unfinished work items in the current Jira sprint.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing open sprint tasks, reading their comments, identifying blocker-related language, and reporting the affected items with Jira links.
Why use it?
It searches task comments for signs that work cannot proceed, so impediments are easier to spot in one report.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

jira-comment-blockers scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 31 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Summarize work item blockers in the current sprint. Optionally provide a PROJECT_KEY here: $ARGUMENTS.

Workflow

Follow these instructions explicitly:

  1. If a PROJECT_KEY is provided in $ARGUMENTS, use acli jira workitem search --json --jql "project = {PROJECT_KEY} AND sprint IN openSprints() and status != Done ORDER BY updated ASC" --fields "summary" --limit 50 to search for work items in that project
  2. Otherwise, use acli jira workitem search --json --jql "sprint IN openSprints() and status != Done ORDER BY updated ASC" --fields "summary" --limit 50 to find work items in the current sprint that aren't done
  3. For each work item found, use acli jira workitem comment list --key {KEY} to fetch all comments on the work item
  4. Analyze each work item's comments for mentions of blockers
  5. Use acli jira auth status to get the "Site" value, which will be used to generate URLs later (to fill in {jira_site})
  6. Report all blocked work items with concise blocker summaries

Blocker Detection

Check for these common blocker indicators in comments:

  • Explicit blocker mentions - Comments containing words like "blocked", "blocker", "blocking", "can't proceed"
  • Dependency issues - Waiting on other teams, external dependencies, or upstream work
  • Technical blockers - Infrastructure issues, environment problems, access issues
  • Resource blockers - Waiting for design, waiting for requirements, waiting for product management, waiting for approval
  • Third-party blockers - Vendor delays, API issues, external service problems
  • Review blockers - Waiting on any sort of review, e.g. waiting for code review, waiting for QA, waiting for stakeholder approval

Output

Report only blocked work items (do not include unblocked items in the summary). For each blocked item: work item key, summary, URL (generated using format: https://{jira_site}/browse/{key}) and concise blocker summary extracted from comments (e.g., "Blocked by: waiting on API access from Platform team", "Blocked by: infrastructure issues in staging environment", "Blocked by: pending design approval from Product")

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
