jira-issue-to-pr

jira-issue-to-pr is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenHands/extensions. It costs 219 tokens per session (5,237 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scheduled workflow that finds labelled Jira issues and starts an OpenHands coding task for each one, creating a GitHub branch and pull request. Jira is a project-tracking system, while GitHub pull requests are proposed code changes for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Polling Jira Cloud, starting coding work from ticket details, opening GitHub pull requests, and commenting on the Jira issue with the task link.
Why use it?
It removes the repeated handoff from a Jira request to a developer-created branch and pull request.

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-issue-to-pr scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/main.py, scripts/setup_webhook.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 377 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Jira → Pull Request Automation (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)

Deploys a cron automation that polls a Jira Cloud instance for open issues carrying a configurable label and, for each new issue, starts an OpenHands agent conversation that clones the repository specified in the ticket body on the configured git provider (GitHub by default, GitLab or Bitbucket with git_provider), creates a branch, implements or placeholders the requested change, and opens a pull request (a merge request on GitLab). Once the conversation starts, it also posts a comment on the Jira ticket: "I'm on it: <conversation URL>".

How It Works

  1. Poll - every N minutes, search the Jira Cloud instance for open issues with the configured label: through the user's connected Atlassian Rovo MCP server on OpenHands Cloud and Enterprise, or with POST /rest/api/3/search/jql and an API token.
  2. Deduplicate - on the very first run the script records a first_run_at baseline timestamp in the KV store; any issue whose updated timestamp predates that baseline is skipped (no backfill blast on first deploy). Using updated rather than created means an old issue that has its label added after the automation is deployed will still be picked up. Subsequent runs filter by both first_run_at and a KV-backed set of already-processed issue keys. A max_new_per_run cap (default 5) limits conversations started per cron firing as additional defense-in-depth.
  3. Dispatch - for each new issue, start an independent agent conversation with a PR-creation prompt: POST /api/conversations on the agent server when running locally, or POST /api/v1/app-conversations on OpenHands Cloud. The prompt instructs the agent to extract the target repository (owner/repo on GitHub; group/project or a URL on GitLab; workspace/repo on Bitbucket) from the ticket body.
  4. Comment - immediately after the conversation is created, post a Jira comment on the issue: I'm on it: <conversation URL>.
  5. Persist - record the processed issue key so re-runs never duplicate work.

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.
