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

JIRA Release Blocker Validator 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 8d 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.

JIRA Release Blocker Validator - Implementation Guide

This skill provides detailed implementation guidance for the /jira:validate-blockers command, which helps release managers make data-driven blocker approval/rejection decisions.

When to Use This Skill

This skill is invoked automatically when the /jira:validate-blockers command is executed. It provides step-by-step implementation details for:

  • Querying JIRA for proposed release blockers (Release Blocker = Proposed)
  • Scoring blockers against Red Hat OpenShift release blocker criteria
  • Generating APPROVE/REJECT/DISCUSS recommendations

Prerequisites

  • Jira MCP server must be configured (see plugin README)
  • MCP tools available: mcp__atlassian__jira_*
  • Read-only access to JIRA APIs (no credentials required for public Red Hat JIRA issues)
  • For single bug mode: bug must be accessible and exist

Detailed Implementation Steps

Phase 1: Parse Arguments

Parse command-line arguments:

  • Extract target version from $1 (optional, format: X.Y like "4.21")
  • Extract component filter from $2 (optional, supports comma-separated values)
  • Extract --bug flag value (optional, for single bug validation mode)

Project:

  • Hardcoded to "OCPBUGS" project

Validate inputs:

  • If neither --bug nor target-version is provided, error out with message: "Error: Either target-version or --bug must be provided. Usage: /jira:validate-blockers [target-version] [component-filter] [--bug issue-key]"
  • If target version provided, verify it matches pattern X.Y (e.g., "4.21", "4.22")
  • If component filter provided without target version and without --bug, error out

Phase 2: Build JQL Query for Proposed Blockers

Determine query mode:

  1. Single bug mode (if --bug is provided):

    • Skip JQL query construction
    • Use mcp__atlassian__jira_get_issue to fetch the single bug
    • Target version and component filter are ignored in this mode
    • Proceed to analysis with single bug only
  2. Version + component mode (if both target version and component are provided):

    • Build JQL query for proposed blockers matching target version and component filter
    • Continue with query construction below

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.
