batch-categorize-activity-types

batch-categorize-activity-types is a command for coding agents from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 16 tokens per session (739 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Jira command that uses AI to assign missing Activity Type labels to many issues in a project. It checks the suggestions and can update Jira after approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify Jira Epics, Stories, Tasks, Bugs, or other issue types into capacity-allocation categories and apply the results in bulk.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of reviewing and labeling large groups of Jira issues. A dry-run option lets you inspect the proposed changes first.

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

batch-categorize-activity-types 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 2d 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.

Name

jira:batch-categorize-activity-types

Synopsis

/jira:batch-categorize-activity-types <project-key> [--type Epic] [--limit 100] [--jql 'AND status != Closed'] [--dry-run]

Description

Fetches all Jira issues in a project that have no Activity Type set, categorizes each into one of six Sankey capacity allocation categories, validates results, generates a report, and (with user approval) applies the updates back to Jira.

Classification logic is shared with /jira:categorize-activity-type via the categorize-activity-types skill.

Implementation

Delegate to the categorize-activity-types skill in batch mode. The skill handles all phases: gather, classify, validate, report, apply, and iterate.

See skills/categorize-activity-types/SKILL.md for the full workflow.

If --dry-run is set, instruct the skill to skip Phase 4 (apply).

Arguments

  • $1 - project-key (required)

    • Jira project key (e.g., OCM, ARO, ROX)
  • --type <issue-type> (optional, default: Epic)

    • Issue type to filter. Supports: Epic, Story, Task, Bug, etc.
  • --limit <number> (optional, default: 100)

    • Maximum number of issues to fetch and classify per batch
  • --jql <conditions> (optional)

    • Additional JQL conditions appended to the base query
    • Example: 'AND resolved >= "2025-01-01"'
    • Example: 'AND status != Closed'
  • --dry-run (optional)

    • Run classification and generate report without applying updates to Jira

Examples

  1. Classify all Epics in OCM:

    /jira:batch-categorize-activity-types OCM
    
  2. Classify Stories instead of Epics:

    /jira:batch-categorize-activity-types ARO --type Story
    
  3. Add JQL filter:

    /jira:batch-categorize-activity-types OCM --jql 'AND resolved >= "2025-01-01"'
    
  4. Dry run (classify and report, don't apply):

    /jira:batch-categorize-activity-types ROX --dry-run

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.
