issue-fetch is a skill for Cursor from theam/claude-dev-kit. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,507 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

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.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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 25d 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 — 101 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). Optional authMode: "mcp" (default) or "rest".

authMode: "mcp" (default). Use the Atlassian MCP tools against the configured site to get the issue and its comments, reading acceptance criteria via the configured field IDs.

authMode: "rest" — for clients without the Atlassian MCP. Call the Jira REST API directly with credentials from the environment (never from .claude/dev-kit.json, which stays secret-free):

  • Jira Cloud: base URL https://<site> (or JIRA_BASE_URL), header Authorization: Basic <base64(JIRA_EMAIL:JIRA_API_TOKEN)>.
  • Jira Server / Data Center: base URL JIRA_BASE_URL, header Authorization: Bearer <JIRA_PAT>.
  • Fetch: GET <base>/rest/api/3/issue/<KEY>?fields=summary,description,status,comment,<ACfieldId>,<sprintFieldId>,<pointsFieldId> (use /rest/api/2/ on older Server). Read acceptance criteria from the configured fields IDs and comments from fields.comment.comments.
  • If a required env var is missing, stop and tell the user exactly which to set, and to add .env to .gitignore — never invent credentials or fetch without them.

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.
