jira-activity

jira-activity is a skill for Claude Code from opendatahub-io/ai-helpers. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,023 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Jira activity analyser for tickets and their child tickets. Jira is a system for tracking work, and child tickets are smaller tasks linked under a larger ticket.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch ticket activity and create a staleness report for an initiative, epic, or its descendant tickets.
Why use it?
It shows whether backlog work is active, slowing down, or forgotten, so stale tickets are easier to identify.

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-activity 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_jira_activity.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.

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 Activity Summary

Analyze a Jira ticket and its child tickets to produce a staleness report. Useful for triaging Features and Initiatives to determine if they are actively being worked on, slowing down, or dormant.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3 and uv must be installed and available in PATH
  • JIRA_API_TOKEN environment variable must be set with a valid API token for https://redhat.atlassian.net
  • JIRA_EMAIL environment variable must be set with the email address associated with your Atlassian account
  • Appropriate JIRA permissions to read the target ticket and its children

Usage

This skill fetches activity data for a Jira ticket and its entire descendant hierarchy (Initiative → Epic → Stories/Tasks), then interprets the results into a staleness report.

Implementation

Step 1: Determine the Ticket Key

  1. If a ticket key is provided by the user, use it
  2. Otherwise, search the conversation history for JIRA ticket references (e.g., "AIPCC-1234", "RHOAIENG-567")
  3. If no ticket is found in context, ask the user: "Which JIRA ticket should I analyze? (e.g., RHOAIENG-1234)"

Optionally the user may specify a --days N flag to control the lookback window (default: 30 days).

Step 2: Fetch Activity Data

Run the fetch script located at scripts/fetch_jira_activity.py relative to this skill. Execute it directly (not via python) to invoke uv via the shebang:

./scripts/fetch_jira_activity.py <TICKET-KEY> [--days N]

The script outputs JSON to stdout containing the complete hierarchy of issues with levels (0=root, 1=child, 2=grandchild, etc.) including statuses, assignees, recent comments, and changelog entries.

Step 3: Interpret the JSON into a Staleness Report

Analyze the JSON output and produce a report with the following sections:

Overall Staleness Assessment

Assign one of these labels based on the activity patterns:

  • Active: Regular status changes, comments, or updates within the lookback window
  • Moderate: Some activity but gaps or only partial child ticket movement
  • Stale: Little to no meaningful activity; most child tickets idle
  • Dormant: No activity at all across parent and children during the lookback window

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.
