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-cli 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 5d 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 CLI

Command reference and scripting patterns for jira-cli, the command-line tool for managing Jira issues, epics, and sprints without the web UI.

Prerequisites

These references assume jira on PATH is ankitpokhrel/jira-cli: a different tool can claim the same binary name. Before trusting any command below, run jira version once per session and confirm the output looks like this project (e.g. jira version 1.x.x with a Homepage: https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli line). If it doesn't, stop and check which jira instead of guessing at flags.

For AI use, always add --plain (and usually --no-headers) to get parseable text output instead of the interactive table.

When to Use This Skill

Manual slash-command skill (/jira-cli): it does not auto-trigger on mentions of "jira" or "ticket". Invoke it directly for raw jira CLI commands (issues, epics, sprints) or scripting/automation. On tools that don't read Claude-Code frontmatter, disable-model-invocation is ignored: the /jira-cli phrasing itself is the manual-invocation signal there too.

Essential Commands

Curated top-7 for the most common operations. For anything else (filters, epic/sprint management, releases, output formats), load references/commands.md; don't try to recall the rest from memory.

# List recent issues (always use --plain for AI)
jira issue list --plain

# View issue details
jira issue view ISSUE-1 --plain

# Create an issue
jira issue create -tBug -s"Bug title" -yHigh -b"Description" --no-input

# Assign issue to yourself
jira issue assign ISSUE-1 $(jira me)

# Move issue to "In Progress"
jira issue move ISSUE-1 "In Progress"

# Add comment
jira issue comment add ISSUE-1 --comment "My comment"

# Add worklog
jira issue worklog add ISSUE-1 "2h" --comment "Implementation work"

Worked Examples

Confirm the CLI flavor before anything else:

$ jira version
jira version 1.5.1
Homepage: https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli

A different jira version output (or a "command not found") means stop and resolve which jira before running any command from this skill.

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.
