What is atlassian-cli CLAUDE.md?

A project guide for a TypeScript command-line tool that works with Jira and Confluence. Jira tracks issues and work items, while Confluence stores team documentation.

Use it when building, running, testing, or publishing the command-line tool, or when adding support for Jira and Confluence actions.

It explains the tool's current commands, technology, build process, and publishing process so development work follows the project's conventions.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02329	$0.02329
Opus 5.5	$0.00932	$0.00932
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00466	$0.00466
Haiku 4.5	$0.00233	$0.00233

Security

Grade A, and why

atlassian-cli CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

Project Overview

atlassian-cli (atl) is a TypeScript CLI for Jira and Confluence that serves as a lightweight alternative to the mcp-atlassian MCP server. Phase 1 implemented read-only tools; Phase 2 added write operations.

The original MCP server has 73 tools (49 Jira + 24 Confluence). This CLI currently implements 13 Atlassian commands + 2 utility commands:

Jira (8 commands):

atl jira search — JQL search
atl jira get-issue — Full issue details with comments, images, and attachments
atl jira download-attachments — Download issue attachments to local directory
atl jira create-issue — Create a new issue
atl jira update-issue — Update issue fields
atl jira add-comment — Add a comment to an issue
atl jira get-transitions — List available workflow transitions
atl jira transition-issue — Transition an issue to a new status

Confluence (6 commands):

atl confluence search — CQL/text search
atl confluence get-page — Page content by ID or title+space (layout-aware, with image extraction)
atl confluence download-attachments — Download page attachments to local directory
atl confluence create-page — Create a new page (markdown or storage format)
atl confluence update-page — Update page content
atl confluence add-comment — Add a comment to a page

Utility:

atl install --skills — Install AI agent skill files (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot)
atl uninstall --skills — Remove installed skill files

Tech Stack

npm run build          # tsc → dist/ + copies skill files into dist
npm run dev            # tsc --watch (does NOT copy skills)

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.
