At a glance

Write and file an LT Jira issue -- bug, feature or task -- that a triager can act on from the first line.

  • Works in 3 steps: the duplicate table (Phase 2) → the three lede lines (Phase 3) → permission to post (Phase 5)
  • Create a Jira issue
  • SKILL.md covers Phases, The checks, Non-negotiable and Lede labels, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Jira Issue is an agent skill from sillsdev/FieldWorks. Write and file an LT Jira issue -- bug, feature or task -- that a triager can act on from the first line. Use whenever asked to file, raise, report or create a Jira issue or LT ticket, to turn a user report or a finding into a ticket, or to restructure a ticket that buries its point. Interviews, hunts duplicates before drafting, gets a three-line lede approved, and moves the analysis to a comment.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/bug-track.md`, `references/duplicates.md` and `references/examples.md`).

It works with Jira. The repository describes itself as: FieldWorks is a suite of software tools for language and cultural data, with support for complex scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • Create a Jira issue
  • Turn a user report
  • A finding into a ticket
  • Restructure a ticket that buries its point

Example prompts

  • “/jira-issue”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. the duplicate table (Phase 2)
  2. the three lede lines (Phase 3)
  3. permission to post (Phase 5)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44b1d04. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Jira Issue loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 564 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 564 words (~1,144 tokens).

“Jira Data Center has no {expand}. Nothing folds away, so length in the description is length on the screen for every reader, permanently. Keep the description short and put the depth in the first comment.”
