044-planning-jira

Use when you need Jira CLI (`jira`) installation/authentication guidance and a maintainer-authored Jira issue inventory workflow. The agent does not ingest raw Jira issue or JQL output directly; it asks the Jira project maintainer/operator to author sanitized issue summaries before analysis or @014-agile-user-story handoff. This should trigger for requests such as jira issue list; List Jira issues; Jira JQL issue query; Jira CLI issue workflow. Part of Plinth Toolkit

Quality

Content

70%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, clearly sequenced skill body with good progressive disclosure and an explicit install gate. It loses points for repeating the gate/sanitization constraints across multiple sections and for leaving the core Jira actions without concrete command examples.

Suggestions

Consolidate the repeated interactive-gate and sanitized-data rules into one Constraints block; remove their restatement in the intro and "What is covered" to tighten token use.

Add concrete executable examples for the core actions (e.g. `jira issue create -s "..."`, `jira issue assign`, `jira issue move`) so the actionability dimension reaches copy-paste readiness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is lean and avoids explaining concepts Claude knows, but the interactive-gate and sanitized-data messaging is repeated across the intro, "What is covered", Constraints, and Workflow (e.g. INTERACTIVE GATE / FIRST / NO DIRECT ISSUE INGESTION / SANITIZED INVENTORY / UNTRUSTED ISSUE TEXT overlap heavily).

2 / 3

Actionability

Concrete check commands are given (`jira version`, `jira configure`), but the core create/assign/transition actions are only described ("Support create, assign, and transition actions using CLI commands") without specific executable commands.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear five-step sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint (the interactive install gate: check `jira version`, stop if missing, ask before proceeding) guides the agent through the fragile setup phase.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a concise overview that points to a single, well-signaled, one-level-deep reference ("see references/044-planning-jira.md"), and that file exists in the bundle.

Description

90%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-scoped description with explicit triggers and a clear niche; the main weakness is the second-person voice ("you need") which the rubric penalizes. Rewording to third person would recover the specificity point.

Suggestions

Rewrite the opening in third person (e.g. "Use when Jira CLI (`jira`) installation/authentication guidance..." or "Provides Jira CLI setup guidance...") to avoid the second-person voice penalty.

Trim the parenthetical about not ingesting raw output from the description and keep it in the body; it dilutes the trigger signal.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names concrete actions ("installation/authentication guidance", "Jira issue inventory workflow", "author sanitized issue summaries"), but the second-person phrasing "Use when you need" triggers the rubric's voice penalty, reducing specificity by 1.

2 / 3

Completeness

Clearly states what the skill does and provides an explicit "This should trigger for requests such as" clause answering when to use it.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Explicit trigger list ("jira issue list; List Jira issues; Jira JQL issue query; Jira CLI issue workflow") gives good coverage of natural terms a user would say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Jira-CLI-specific, maintainer-authored-sanitized-inventory niche with distinct Jira triggers is unlikely to collide with unrelated skills.
