stale-work-cleanup

stale-work-cleanup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Mr-pixle/jira-mcp. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,188 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding Jira issues that have stopped changing, where Jira is a system for tracking team work and bugs. It separates genuinely abandoned work from tasks that are simply slow and requires a preview before making changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review dormant issues, investigate work stuck in progress, and clean up Jira before planning.
Why use it?
It helps teams find forgotten or stuck tickets without treating every old ticket as a problem or changing the board unexpectedly.

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

stale-work-cleanup 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 10d 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.

Stale Work Cleanup

Keywords

stale issues, abandoned tickets, stuck in progress, old issues, not moved, dormant, cleanup, tidy the board, zombie tickets, کارهای راکد, تیکت‌های قدیمی, کارهای گیرکرده

Find work that has stopped moving, work out why, and clear it — carefully, because "stale" and "important but slow" look identical in a query.

Changes data behind a mandatory preview. Nothing is applied without the user seeing exactly which issues are affected.

Workflow

Step 1 — Agree the threshold

"Stale" is a judgement, not a fact. Ask, or state your assumption clearly:

Kind of work Reasonable threshold
In progress 10+ days without an update
In review 5+ days
To do, in an active sprint 14+ days
Backlog 90+ days

A backlog item untouched for 90 days is normal. An in-progress item untouched for 10 days is a signal. Do not apply one threshold to both.

Step 2 — Find it

project = OPS AND resolution = Unresolved AND updated <= -14d ORDER BY updated ASC

For work stuck specifically in progress, add AND status = "In Progress".

Run Report.blocked_issues with include_duration=true in parallel. It gives days-in-current-status, which is a sharper signal than days-since-update — someone adding a comment resets updated without the work moving.

Step 3 — Distinguish the categories

This is the part that matters. Stale issues fall into groups that need opposite treatment:

Category How to spot it Action
Blocked, known Flagged, or status says blocked Leave alone — it is tracked. Report it, do not touch it.
Blocked, silent In progress, no updates, no flag Flag it. This is the real find.
Done but not closed Recent comments suggesting completion Ask the assignee — do not close it yourself
Abandoned No assignee, no activity, old Candidate for the backlog or closure
Slow but alive Long-running by nature, recent commits or comments Leave alone

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.
