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-setup 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 1mo 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 Setup

Walk through the steps below and prompt only for what's missing. Re-running this is safe — values that are already set are reported and skipped.

Step 0 — Ensure the mcp-atlassian MCP server is registered

This skill (and jira-ticket) drive Jira through the mcp__mcp-atlassian__* tools. Check whether mcp__mcp-atlassian__jira_create_issue is visible in your tool list.

  • If it's visible, the server is registered. Skip to Step 1.

  • If it's missing, hand off to the setup-mcp skill, which is the bounded installer for this plugin's MCP servers — mcp-atlassian is already in its manifest. Invoke setup-mcp via the Skill tool with mcp-atlassian (e.g. /setup-mcp mcp-atlassian). It shows the proposed config, asks for scope, registers the server, and verifies the uvx prerequisite. Because MCP servers only load at startup, it will tell the user to restart Claude Code — so once it returns, tell the user to restart and re-run /jira-setup (or /jira-ticket), then stop. The tools won't be available until the restart.

    If the setup-mcp skill isn't available in this session for any reason, fall back to instructing the user: "Run /setup-mcp mcp-atlassian, restart Claude Code, then re-run /jira-setup."

Step 1 — Validate credentials

Run this exact command:

echo "JIRA_URL=${JIRA_URL:-NOT_SET}" && \
echo "JIRA_USERNAME=${JIRA_USERNAME:-NOT_SET}" && \
echo "JIRA_API_TOKEN=${JIRA_API_TOKEN:+SET}" && \
echo "JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN=${JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN:+SET}"

JIRA_URL is always required. For auth, either the Cloud combo (JIRA_USERNAME + JIRA_API_TOKEN) or the Server / Data Center PAT (JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN) must be set. If neither is complete, instruct the user and stop. Do not proceed.

  • JIRA_URL is NOT_SET → "Set your Jira workspace URL, e.g. export JIRA_URL=https://yourworkspace.atlassian.net"
  • Cloud (Atlassian-hosted, *.atlassian.net): set both
  • Server / Data Center (self-hosted): set just
    • JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN → create a Personal Access Token in your Jira profile, then export JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN=<your-pat>. JIRA_USERNAME is optional here, but if you set it the jira-ticket skill will use it for the assignee / reporter on created tickets.

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.
