jira-issue-recon

jira-issue-recon is a command for Claude Code from skyfox675/agents-skills. It costs 128 tokens per session (1,432 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gh-issue-recon, MIT.

A read-only investigation workflow for checking the technical scope of prepared Jira issues. Jira is a service for tracking work, and technical reconnaissance means tracing a request through the actual code before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with one or more Jira issue keys to inspect relevant files and code paths, estimate effort with confidence, identify risks, and recommend an implementation plan or split.
Why use it?
It turns a stakeholder-approved request into a verified implementation approach with evidence from the code. It also exposes risks, dependencies, likely effort, and possible ways to split the work.

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-issue-recon 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 12d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to gh-issue-recon — 28 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 37 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/jira-issue-recon — technically scope, size, and de-risk groomed issues

Operate in caveman mode (load the caveman skill) — recon fans out and tokens compound. Keep Atlassian-MCP calls, JQL, labels/fields, file:line refs, and the TECH-RECON contract line byte-exact; the findings comment is the exception (humanizer — see below).

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Parse them as:

  • One or more issue keys (e.g. PROJ-412). Each is a separately groomed, stakeholder-accepted issue that the dev team has not yet technically reviewed or sized. A lead may drop several at once.
  • Optional model:<tier> and effort:<level> tokens, anywhere — these pin the recon agent's tier (default sonnet; escalate to opus for deep or cross-cutting asks). They are NOT the implementation tier — recon recommends that separately in its findings. The cheap tier is never used here (technical judgement on real code needs a capable model; see the technical-recon skill).

Example: /jira-issue-recon PROJ-412 PROJ-415 PROJ-418 model:opus

The technical-recon skill is the protocol — the read-only sandbox, the findings anatomy (implementation approach, verified file:line, LoE + confidence, risks/unknowns, dependencies, split recommendation, dispatch recommendation), the verdict states, and the output contract all come from it. This is the deeper dev-side pass, distinct from the cheap intake-triage recon in the jira-issue-filing skill. Jira reads/writes go through the Atlassian MCP (getJiraIssue, editJiraIssue, addCommentToJiraIssue, transitionJiraIssue, searchJiraIssuesUsingJql) — allowlist your server's tools in .claude/settings.json (the mcp__atlassian__ prefix above may differ from your configured server name); adopters without the MCP can substitute the Jira REST v3 API or a Jira CLI. Consult the skill before dispatching.

Steps

  1. Resolve the batch. Collect the issue keys from the args (strip the model:/effort: tokens first). For each, confirm it exists and is open (getJiraIssue). Skip and report any that are Done/closed or carry an operator hold (do-not-dispatch, per jira-issue-fields).

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.
