cursor-rule

A rule that connects a coding agent to Jira through the JJ command-line tool. Jira is a system for tracking issues, tasks, and sprint work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve issue details, list assigned stories, inspect sprints, search tickets, view work by person, and create sprint summaries.
Why use it?
It lets the agent fetch the details of a mentioned Jira issue or list relevant work without requiring manual copying.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 14 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 353 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

cursor-rule 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.

What it actually says

JJ — Jira integration

JJ is a CLI tool that fetches Jira tickets and converts them to Markdown.

When the user mentions a Jira issue key (like WEB-1234, PROJ-56, etc.)

Automatically fetch the ticket by running:

jj <KEY> --pipe

Use the full markdown output as context for the conversation. Do not ask the user if they want you to fetch it — just do it.

When the user asks to list their stories / assigned tickets / current sprint

Run:

jj list --pipe

This returns tab-separated lines: KEY STATUS ASSIGNEE SUMMARY

If the user provides custom JQL, pass it:

jj list --pipe --jql "your jql here"

Other useful commands

  • jj sprint --pipe — Sprint overview (all team issues) grouped by status
  • jj sprint --by-person --pipe — Sprint overview grouped by person
  • jj summary --pipe — Slack-formatted sprint roundup for the whole team
  • jj whois <name> --pipe — Issues assigned to a person in the current sprint
  • jj search <text> --pipe — Search issues by summary text

Notes

  • JJ reads credentials from .env in its install directory, or from env vars
  • The --pipe flag makes it non-interactive (no spinners, no prompts, clean stdout)
  • Without --pipe, the CLI is interactive — only use --pipe in agent context
Changes

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.
