sdd-qa-to-jira

sdd-qa-to-jira is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jamesyang124/agent-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns structured development documents into BDD test scenarios and creates QA sub-tickets in Jira. BDD, or behavior-driven development, describes expected behavior as Given, When, and Then steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a pull request is open to read spec-kit files, derive end-to-end scenarios, review them, and create QA tickets. It requires an existing root Jira ticket and Atlassian access.
Why use it?
It makes the expected checks explicit after implementation and keeps them under the existing Jira feature ticket. This helps QA verify what the feature should do without prescribing how to test it.

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

sdd-qa-to-jira 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 11d 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.

SDD QA to Jira

This skill bridges the Implement and QA phases of the spec-kit native SDD workflow. It reads all spec-kit artifacts in the feature folder, derives end-to-end BDD scenarios, presents them to the RD for review, then creates QA sub-tickets under the existing root Jira ticket — no new root ticket is created.

Key principle: Sub-tickets describe what to verify (Given/When/Then), not how. SDET owns the testing method, order, and approach entirely.

QA Ticket Template (MANDATORY)

All QA sub-tickets must follow the BDD template at: references/qa-ticket-template.md (relative to this skill folder: .agent-settings/skills/sdd-qa-to-jira)

Prerequisites

IMPORTANT: This skill requires the Atlassian MCP Server to be installed and configured.

Before using this skill, ensure:

  1. ✅ Atlassian MCP server is installed (see .agent-settings/mcps/install-atlassian-mcp.sh)
  2. ✅ Credentials are configured in .env.mcp-atlassian
  3. ✅ A PR is open (this is the prerequisite that proves implementation is committed and reviewable)
  4. ✅ The existing root Jira ticket key from Phase 7 is available (e.g. PROJ-101)
  5. ✅ The following MCP tools are available:
    • mcp__atlassian__jira_get_issue
    • mcp__atlassian__jira_create_issue
    • mcp__atlassian__jira_add_comment

If the MCP server is not configured, guide the user to run:

.agent-settings/mcps/install-atlassian-mcp.sh

Input Sources (Tiered by Priority)

Priority Source Contribution
Core prd-source.md Business intent and user-facing requirements → business-perspective BDD scenarios
Core spec.md RD's technical interpretation → scenario context and constraints
Core requirements.md Technical acceptance criteria → primary BDD scenarios
Core plan.md Technical decisions, alternatives rejected → edge cases
Extended Any other *.md in the feature folder ADRs, impl notes, discovery notes → richer edge cases
Required Root Jira ticket key (from Phase 7) Parent for QA sub-tickets
Optional Confluence design review page ID Version stamp reference

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.
