work-items-to-jira

work-items-to-jira is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from testdouble/han. It costs 123 tokens per session (4,140 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a work-items.md file into separate Jira tickets, where Jira is a system for tracking development work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It validates the file, confirms the target Jira project, creates one ticket per work slice, links dependencies, and places tickets in the selected column.
Why use it?
It converts an existing breakdown of implementation work into trackable issues while preserving dependencies between them.

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

work-items-to-jira 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 243 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Context

  • personal config directory: !bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/han-config-dir.sh" 2>/dev/null || echo "$HOME/.claude"
  • project .han/config.md: !cat .han/config.md 2>/dev/null || echo ""

As your first action, use the Read tool on .han/config.md inside the personal config directory path above. A read that returns no file is no personal configuration: continue silently. When that file or the project .han/config.md probe supplies content, apply it per config-rule.md, which governs precedence between the two files, relative-path resolution, and what to do with a file that reads but cannot be used.

Work Items to Jira Tickets

Take an already-broken-down work-items.md file (produced by /plan-work-items) and publish each slice as a Jira ticket in a single target project.

The breakdown work — drafting slices, assigning symbolic IDs, specifying dependencies, inventorying references — has already been done upstream. This skill's job is to validate the format, confirm the target, create one ticket per slice through the Atlassian MCP server, link the within-file dependencies, and place the tickets in the chosen column.

Rules

  • Every slice posts into one Jira project. This skill does not split work across repos or projects. A work-items.md that names multiple code repos still produces tickets in the single project you name; the repo prose is informational only.
  • Dependencies are within-file only. Every SYM named in a Depends on line must resolve to another slice in the same file. A Depends on that names an unknown SYM is a format error to surface for repair.
  • Symbolic-ID prefixes: accept whatever the input uses. Any uppercase prefix shape is valid (W-N, V2-N, EV-N, …); the prefix has no effect on Jira placement.
  • Defaults: issue type Story, no assignee, reporter taken from the Atlassian MCP identity, and the project's initial status (Backlog). Each is overridable per run; nothing is assigned or moved unless asked.
  • Parenting is optional and determines the child issue type. --parent <KEY> accepts an epic or a standard issue (a story, task, or bug). Under an epic, each item is a standard issue (default Story). Under a story (any standard issue), each item is a subtask (default the project's subtask issue type). You cannot parent under a subtask. --epic <KEY> is a deprecated alias for --parent; it resolves the same way regardless of the named issue's actual type.
  • Every slice ticket MUST carry the reference artifacts an implementer needs — API/event contracts, design references, schema docs, runbooks, ADRs, coding standards. Tickets that consume an HTTP endpoint or event payload MUST reference the contract section that defines it. Full include/exclude list in references/reference-artifact-inventory.md.
  • NEVER include process artifacts in ticket descriptions. Excluded: iteration histories, decision logs, review findings, team findings, facilitation summaries, gap analyses, and anything under an artifacts/ subfolder of the plan that is not a contract or design reference.
  • No screenshot upload or image embedding. Design references are carried as links, not uploaded into Jira. See references/jira-ticket-template.md.

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.
