jira-bulk-operations

jira-bulk-operations is a skill for Claude Code from grandcamel/JIRA-Assistant-Skills. It costs 121 tokens per session (2,103 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for changing many JIRA issues in one operation. JIRA is a work-tracking system, and an issue is one tracked item such as a bug, task, or request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to transition, assign, reprioritize, clone, or delete multiple issues, including batches of ten or more.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive one-by-one updates when a large group of issues needs the same action. A dry run lets you preview the result before making changes.

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-bulk-operations 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.

jira-bulk

Bulk operations for JIRA issue management at scale - transitions, assignments, priorities, cloning, and deletion.

Risk Levels

Operation Risk Notes
Dry-run any operation - Preview only, no changes
Bulk transition !! Affects many issues; use --dry-run first
Bulk assign !! Affects many issues; use --dry-run first
Bulk set-priority !! Affects many issues; use --dry-run first
Bulk clone ! Creates many issues; can delete
Bulk delete !!! IRREVERSIBLE - issues permanently lost

Risk Legend: - Safe, read-only | ! Caution, modifiable | !! Warning, destructive but recoverable | !!! Danger, irreversible

CRITICAL: Always use --dry-run before executing bulk operations. Bulk delete is permanent and cannot be undone.

When to use this skill

IMPORTANT: Always use the jira-as CLI. Never run Python scripts directly.

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Transition multiple issues through workflow states simultaneously
  • Assign multiple issues to a user (or unassign)
  • Set priority on multiple issues at once
  • Clone issues with their subtasks and links
  • Delete multiple issues permanently (with dry-run preview)
  • Execute operations with dry-run preview before making changes
  • Handle partial failures gracefully with progress tracking

Scale guidance:

  • 5-10 issues: Preview (default behavior), then re-run with --yes
  • 50-100 issues: Use --dry-run first, then execute with --yes
  • 500+ issues: Use --dry-run, then execute in smaller batches if needed

Quick Start

# Preview before making changes (bulk commands run as a preview by default)
jira-as bulk transition --jql "project=PROJ AND status=\"In Progress\"" --to Done --dry-run

# Execute the transition (--yes is required to apply changes)
jira-as bulk transition --jql "project=PROJ AND status=\"In Progress\"" --to Done --yes

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.
