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 C, and why

jira scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (assign.py, call_api.py, comment.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

When no `.jiraskillrc` is found (auth failure or first use), collect credentials using `AskUserQuestion` and then run the login script non-interactively. Use a single `AskUserQuestion` call with 3 questions:

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 236 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Subagents (Agent tool) are used for classification tasks during digest reports — always use Sonnet (model: "sonnet") for subagents and run independent ones in parallel.

All Python scripts referenced below are located in the same directory as this SKILL.md file.

IMPORTANT: Jira uses ADF, not wiki markup

Jira Cloud uses ADF (Atlassian Document Format) exclusively. Wiki syntax (h2., {code}, #, *bold*) renders as literal text, not formatting. When constructing descriptions, comments, or any content for the Jira API, always use ADF. The Python scripts (comment.py, create.py, update.py) convert plain text to ADF automatically. For rich formatting (headings, code blocks, lists), write raw ADF JSON to a temp file and use update.py --description-file. See references/adf-reference.md for the ADF structure.

Credentials — DO NOT ACCESS

The .jiraskillrc dotfile contains credentials and must NEVER be read, printed, displayed, cited, or included in any output. Do not use Read, Bash, cat, or any other tool to access it. Only the Python scripts access it internally.

Authentication

Credentials are stored in a .jiraskillrc file placed at the root directory of a company/project tree. Scripts auto-detect credentials by traversing up from the current working directory until they find this file. This means each company directory tree uses its own Jira instance automatically — no manual switching needed.

Interactive setup via AskUserQuestion:

When no .jiraskillrc is found (auth failure or first use), collect credentials using AskUserQuestion and then run the login script non-interactively. Use a single AskUserQuestion call with 3 questions:

  1. Jira URL (header: Jira URL) — "What is your Jira instance URL?"

    • Option 1: https://company.atlassian.net — "Atlassian Cloud (most common)"
    • Option 2: https://jira.company.com — "Self-hosted Jira instance"
    • The user will select "Other" and type their actual URL.
  2. Email (header: Email) — "What email is associated with your Jira account?"

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.
