issue-fetch

A tool that fetches a work item from Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, or Azure DevOps and shows its summary, status, requirements, and comments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a prompt includes an issue reference such as PROJ-1234, ENG-42, or #123.
Why use it?
It gathers the full task context before planning or coding, so important requirements and discussion are less likely to be missed.

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

issue-fetch 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 3d 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Fetch

Fetch full context for a work item before any planning or implementation begins. The tracker is configured once (see below); this skill speaks to whichever one the team uses.

Trigger

Any prompt containing an issue reference, or an explicit request to fetch/work on a story. Reference shapes differ by tracker:

Tracker Key shape Example
Jira [A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-\d+ PROJ-1234
Linear [A-Z]+-\d+ ENG-42
GitHub Issues #\d+ or owner/repo#\d+ #123
Azure DevOps #?\d+ (work item id) #4567

Project configuration

Read .claude/dev-kit.json at the consuming repo root. The tracker block names the active adapter and its settings:

{ "tracker": { "type": "jira" | "linear" | "github" | "azure", ... } }

If the file does not exist (or has no tracker block), run the dev-kit-setup skill first — it detects the tracker, gathers what it needs, persists the file, and returns here. Do not ask the user for values that setup can discover.

If the requested key's project/prefix does not match the configured one, confirm with the user before fetching (it may be a cross-project item — allowed, just not silently).

Adapters — how to fetch

Use the adapter matching tracker.type. In every case request at minimum: summary/title, type, status, priority, assignee, reporter, labels, description, acceptance criteria, and all comments (plus story points and sprint/cycle when the tracker has them).

Jira (type: "jira")

Config: site, cloudId, projectKey, fields (custom field IDs for acceptance criteria / sprint / story points). Use the Atlassian MCP tools against the configured site to get the issue and its comments, reading acceptance criteria via the configured field IDs.

  • If a configured field ID turns out to be invalid, re-run dev-kit-setup discovery for that field and update the config.

Linear (type: "linear")

Config: teamKey (and optionally workspace). Use the Linear MCP tools to fetch the issue by identifier, its description, labels, state, assignee, and comments. Acceptance criteria usually live in the description body or a checklist — extract them from there.

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.
