issues-by-component

issues-by-component is a command for coding agents from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 12 tokens per session (4,904 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A Jira command that groups issues by component and lets you filter them by time, people, status, or search terms. It provides either an overview of all components or detailed results for one component.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review workload, find component-specific problems, plan sprints or releases, and assess team capacity.
Why use it?
It makes component workload and issue patterns easier to inspect than browsing tickets one by one. This supports focused searches and planning decisions.

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 B, and why

issues-by-component scanned grade B with 2 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.

Name

jira:issues-by-component

Synopsis

/jira:issues-by-component <project-key> [time-period] [--component component-name] [--assignee username] [--reporter username] [--status status] [--search search-term] [--search-description]

Description

The jira:issues-by-component command provides a comprehensive view of JIRA issues organized by component. It supports two modes of operation:

  1. Overview Mode (no --component flag): Lists all components with high-level statistics
  2. Detail Mode (--component specified): Shows detailed issue information for a specific component

This command is particularly useful for:

  • Understanding component-level workload distribution
  • Finding issues by component and user assignment
  • Identifying component-specific patterns or problems
  • Sprint/release planning by component
  • Searching for specific issues within component contexts
  • Team capacity planning and workload analysis

Key Features:

  • Component organization - Issues grouped by JIRA component
  • Flexible time filtering - Filter by creation date or update date
  • User filtering - Filter by assignee or reporter
  • Status filtering - Focus on specific workflow states
  • Text search - Find issues by keywords in summary or description
  • Dual-mode output - Overview or detailed views based on your needs

Prerequisites

This command requires JIRA credentials to be configured as environment variables. It uses direct API calls with a secure wrapper script to prevent token exposure.

1. Install the Jira Plugin

If you haven't already installed the Jira plugin, see the Jira Plugin README for installation instructions.

2. Configure JIRA Credentials

Why not use MCP commands? MCP commands have performance issues when fetching large datasets:

  • Each MCP response must be processed by Claude, consuming LLM tokens
  • Large result sets (even with pagination) cause 413 errors from Claude due to tool result size limits
  • Processing hundreds of tickets through MCP commands creates excessive context usage
  • Direct API calls allow us to stream data to disk without intermediate processing

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.
