trigger-payload-job

trigger-payload-job is a skill for Claude Code from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,686 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for triggering payload-validation jobs on a GitHub pull request by posting the exact commands that Prow CI expects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start payload tests for regular, revert, or experimental draft pull requests and poll for the CI bot's response.
Why use it?
It avoids silently ignored requests caused by incorrect comment syntax and collects the resulting job links for follow-up.

    Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.
    Fix: Set explicit rate limits, timeouts, and resource quotas for API calls, file operations, and compute. Implement circuit breakers for runaway loops.

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

trigger-payload-job 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Trigger Payload Job

This skill triggers payload validation jobs on a GitHub PR by posting the correct Prow commands as PR comments, then polls for the bot response to collect the resulting job URLs.

When to Use This Skill

This skill MUST be used whenever triggering payload testing on a PR. This includes revert PRs, draft experimental revert PRs, or any PR that needs payload validation. Do not post payload commands without following this skill — the command syntax is specific and other formats will be silently ignored by the bot.

Inputs (passed in-context by the caller):

  • pr_url: The GitHub PR URL to trigger jobs on (e.g., https://github.com/openshift/ovn-kubernetes/pull/3040)
  • org, repo, pr_number: Parsed from the PR URL
  • jobs: List of jobs to trigger, each with:
    • job_name: The full job name (e.g., aggregated-hypershift-ovn-conformance-4.22)
    • is_aggregated: Whether this is an aggregated job (has aggregated- prefix)
    • underlying_job_name: For aggregated jobs only — the underlying periodic job name (e.g., periodic-ci-openshift-hypershift-release-4.22-periodics-e2e-aws-ovn-conformance). This MUST be extracted from the aggregated job's junit artifacts by the caller's analysis — it cannot be derived from the aggregated job name.
    • count: For aggregated jobs only — how many runs (default: 10). Use judgement: fewer runs when triggering many jobs to limit resource consumption, more when only one or two jobs need validation.

Prerequisites

  1. GitHub CLI (gh): Installed and authenticated
  2. Repository Access: User must have permission to comment on the PR

Job Triggering Limits

The caller is responsible for enforcing global limits before invoking this skill. However, this skill also enforces the following hard limits per invocation:

  • Non-aggregated jobs: No more than 5 per comment
  • Aggregated jobs: No more than 1 per comment. Aggregated jobs are expensive (they run many iterations), so only trigger one at a time. A second aggregated job should only be triggered after the first completes, and only if confirmation is needed.
