What is create-jira-item?

A workflow for creating Jira work items such as stories, epics, initiatives, and tasks. Jira is a tool for tracking planned work, bugs, and larger projects.

Use it to determine the project and item type, inspect custom fields, and create a correctly filled Jira issue.

It checks the selected Jira project's required fields and allowed values before creating an item. This avoids failed or incomplete tickets caused by organization-specific settings.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00048	$0.00535
Opus 5	$0.00024	$0.00267
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00107
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00053

Security

Grade A, and why

create-jira-item 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Create Jira Item

Create Jira issues using the Atlassian MCP, with proper custom field handling.

1. Determine Target

Project: Use the project specified by the user. If not specified, infer by searching the user's recent issues (searchJiraIssuesUsingJql with (assignee = currentUser() OR reporter = currentUser()) ORDER BY updated DESC). If inference fails, ask.
Issue type: story, epic, task, initiative, etc. Infer from context or ask.

2. Introspect Custom Fields

Before creating the issue, discover the project's field requirements:

Get available issue types via getJiraProjectIssueTypesMetadata(cloudId, projectIdOrKey).
Get field metadata for the chosen issue type via getJiraIssueTypeMetaWithFields(cloudId, projectIdOrKey, issueTypeId).
Pay attention to:
- Required fields that are not standard (e.g., "Team", "Quarter", "Initiative Link", "Sprint")
- Custom field IDs (customfield_NNNNN) -- use these in the create call
- Allowed values for select/multi-select fields

For epics and initiatives especially, org-specific fields are common and must be populated. Do not rely on default field assumptions.

3. Create the Issue

Use createJiraIssue with:

Summary: terse, descriptive title
Description: terse. Bullet points preferred. No boilerplate.
Assignee: current user (use lookupJiraAccountId if needed)
Priority: Medium unless user specifies otherwise
All required custom fields populated from step 2

4. Link to Epic (if applicable)

If the issue should be under an epic:

Use createIssueLink or set the epic link field (varies by Jira config)
If the user mentions an epic by name or key, search for it first via searchJiraIssuesUsingJql(cloudId, "project = X AND issuetype = Epic AND summary ~ 'name'").

5. Report

Return the issue key and URL. If any required fields were unknown or couldn't be populated, note them.

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.
