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

generate-feature-updates 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

Synopsis

/jira:generate-feature-updates [project-key] [--component <component-name>] [--label <label-name>] [user-filters...]

Description

The jira:generate-feature-updates command generates concise executive-level feature summaries for weekly status documents. It analyzes recent activity across Jira issues and their descendants to produce prose-style updates suitable for the "Key Strategic Feature Updates" section of weekly reports.

This command is particularly useful for:

  • Weekly executive status documents
  • Strategic feature progress summaries
  • Stakeholder communication on feature delivery
  • Identifying blocked or at-risk features

Key capabilities:

  • Efficient batch data gathering using async Python script
  • Interactive component selection from available project components
  • User filtering by email or display name (with auto-resolution)
  • Intelligent activity analysis using childIssuesOf() for full hierarchy traversal
  • GitHub PR and GitLab MR integration via external links
  • Automatic filtering: skips issues with no significant activity
  • Batch processing with full-section review
  • Nested list output: feature link as top-level bullet, update prose as nested bullet

This command uses the Status Analysis Engine skill for core analysis logic. See plugins/jira/skills/status-analysis/SKILL.md for detailed implementation.

Implementation

The command executes in two phases:

Phase 1: Data Gathering

Step 1. Parse Arguments and Determine Target Project
  1. Parse command-line arguments:

    • Extract project key from first positional argument (e.g., OCPSTRAT, OCPBUGS)
    • Parse optional --component <component-name> parameter
    • Parse optional --label <label-name> parameter
    • Parse user filter parameters (space-separated emails or names)
    • User filters support exclusion by prefixing with an exclamation mark (example: ![email protected])
  2. If project key is NOT provided:

    • Use mcp__atlassian-mcp__jira_get_all_projects to list all accessible projects
    • Present projects in a numbered list with keys and names
    • Ask: "Please enter the number of the project you want to generate updates for:"
    • Parse response and extract project key

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.
