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-writeback 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 294 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

The only skill in jira-pack that calls addCommentToJiraIssue or transitionJiraIssue. It takes jira-triage's verdict and evidence bundle, renders the matching template from plugins/jira-pack/templates/, posts it, and — only when the caller says the verdict allows it — attempts the QA transition. It never decides the verdict itself and never touches the board card.

Inputs (from the caller, @jira-task-runner)

  • verdict — one of already-fixed, cannot-reproduce, needs-info, needs-fix (Phase 7) — never called for too-large, which Phase 7's jira-escalation handles on its own.
  • classdefect or change, from jira-triage. It selects the template for needs-fix (see Templates) and is recorded in the idempotency marker. A needs-fix call that arrives without a class is a caller bug: stop and report it rather than defaulting to defect, which would post a root-cause comment on a feature ticket.
  • The evidence bundle from jira-triage (command, exit code, output fragment, commit/test reference, or the specific questions for needs-info) — used to fill the chosen template's placeholders.
  • attemptTransition: yes | nono only for needs-info; yes for every other verdict this skill is called with.
  • cloudId, issueIdOrKey, and the pinned Atlassian MCP tool prefix, all resolved by jira-access-preflight.
  • A run tag (the board card's externalId, or a timestamp-less tag if the board is unavailable) for the idempotency marker.

Step 1 — resolve the transition, before composing the comment

Call getTransitionsForJiraIssue (a read, always allowed, even in --dry-run, even when attemptTransition: no — see the note at the end of this section). Search for a transition whose target status is an exact match against jira.qaStatus from the config: case-insensitive, leading/ trailing whitespace trimmed, and nothing fuzzier than that. The config exists precisely so this skill never has to guess which status is "the QA one" — a partial or fuzzy match would silently pick the wrong transition on a workflow with several similarly-named statuses.

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.
