What it does

Issue Read Jira is an agent skill from telerik/JustMockLite. Retrieves and reads issues from JIRA using the Atlassian CLI or REST API. Use when working with JIRA issues, or when the user mentions reading, viewing, or retrieving JIRA tickets.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. It works with Jira. The repository describes itself as: Powerful and free mocking for .NET.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with JIRA issues
  • The user mentions reading
  • Retrieving JIRA tickets

Example prompts

  • “Use the issue-read-jira skill to retrieve and reads issues from JIRA using the Atlassian CLI or REST API”
  • “/issue-read-jira”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check comments and attachments: JIRA issues often have critical information in comments and attachments. Always review these.
  2. Review linked issues: Check for parent/child and "blocks/is blocked by" relationships.
  3. Check custom fields: Projects often have custom fields with important information.
  4. Review subtasks: Complex issues may have subtasks to track.
  5. Check sprint context: Review the sprint and epic for broader context.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4aac97c. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Issue Read Jira loads about 481 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~481

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 126 words (~481 tokens).

“This skill guides you through retrieving and reading JIRA issues.”
