priority-rebalance

priority-rebalance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bmbouter/redhat-agents. It costs 25 tokens per session (448 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A backlog review workflow that checks whether Jira priority labels still match the work’s age, dependencies, blockers, and business goals. A backlog is the list of work that has not been completed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review open Jira issues, find stale high-priority work, detect blocking chains, and suggest a better order for the backlog.
Why use it?
Priorities can become outdated, inflated, or disconnected from what is blocking other work. This workflow identifies items that may need a higher or lower priority.

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

priority-rebalance 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 4d 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

When to Use

When the PO suspects priorities are stale, after a planning shift, or on a regular cadence.

Instructions

Read local/jira-workflow.md to understand priority values and conventions.

1. Query prioritized backlog

Pull all non-closed issues, grouped by current priority:

project = <PROJECT> AND status != Closed ORDER BY priority ASC, updated DESC

2. Analyze each priority tier

For each priority level (Blocker, Critical, Major, Normal, Minor), check:

  • Inflation: Are there too many Blockers/Criticals? More than ~10% of the backlog at Blocker/Critical suggests priority inflation.
  • Age vs priority: High-priority items that have been open for a long time without progress may need escalation or re-assessment.
  • Blocking chains: Issues that block multiple other issues may deserve a priority bump regardless of their current level.
  • Stale highs: Blocker/Critical issues with no recent updates — are they still urgent?
  • Buried lows: Minor/Normal issues that are actually blocking high-priority work.

3. Present recommendations

## Priority Rebalance Suggestions — <date>

### Priority Inflation
- X of Y open issues are Blocker/Critical (Z%)
- Recommendation: Review these for downgrade...

### Suggested Upgrades
- ISSUE-123 (currently Normal) → Major
  - Reason: Blocks 3 other in-progress issues

### Suggested Downgrades
- ISSUE-456 (currently Blocker) → Major
  - Reason: No updates in 30 days, no downstream blockers

### Stale High-Priority
- ISSUE-789 (Blocker) — last updated 21 days ago
  - Still a blocker? Needs PO decision.

### Summary
- Current distribution: X Blocker, Y Critical, Z Major, ...
- Suggested distribution: ...

All changes require PO approval. Offer to apply approved changes via Jira API.

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.
