    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-search-jql 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 13d 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.

Query and discovery operations for JIRA issues using JQL (JIRA Query Language).

Risk Levels

Operation Risk Notes
Query/search - Read-only
Validate JQL - Read-only
Export results - Read-only (local file)
List filters - Read-only
Create filter - Easily reversible (can delete)
Update filter ! Can be reverted
Share filter ! Can be unshared
Delete filter !! Filter lost, but can recreate
Bulk update !! Use --dry-run first; changes reversible but tedious

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

When to use this skill

Perfect for:

  • Search by criteria: "Find all bugs assigned to me in the current sprint"
  • Reporting: Export sprint results or metrics to CSV/JSON
  • Bulk operations: Update labels, priority, or assignee on 50+ issues at once
  • Automation: Create saved filters for monitoring or dashboards

Not ideal for:

  • Single issue operations - Use jira-issue skill
  • Workflow transitions on many issues - Use jira-lifecycle skill
  • Complex issue relationships - Use jira-relationships skill
  • Sprint/board management - Use jira-agile skill

Quick Start

# Find your open issues
jira-as search query "assignee = currentUser() AND status != Done"

# Find bugs in a project
jira-as search query "project = PROJ AND type = Bug AND status = Open"

# Export results to CSV
jira-as search export "project = PROJ" --output report.csv

# Save a filter for reuse
jira-as search filter create -n "My Bugs" -j "type = Bug AND assignee = currentUser()" -f

For detailed setup, see docs/QUICK_START.md.

Available Commands

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