rhdh-jira-authoring

Skill20 starsChanged 20 days agoApache-2.0View on GitHub

Supplies the craft of writing good RHDH Jira work in RHIDP, RHDHPLAN, RHDHBUGS, and RHDHSUPP: the Feature, Epic, Story, Task, and Bug description templates with filled examples, the RHDH challenge matrix that stress-tests scope, sizing, acceptance criteria, and Epic independence, the T-shirt and Fibonacci sizing scales, keyword duplicate detection, and the tracer-bullet rules for breaking a Feature into Epics or an Epic into Stories. Use when drafting or judging the text and shape of an issue such as RHIDP-1234 — how big is this, is this AC testable, should this be one Epic or three, does this already exist. Prose and estimation craft only; it runs no Jira command.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

RHDH Jira authoring

The material that decides whether an issue is worth reading six months later. Two skills use it — /rhdh-jira-create while drafting and /rhdh-jira-refine while auditing — so it lives here rather than in either of them.

This skill produces text and judgements. It never runs a Jira command and never performs a write.

Templates and examples

Description templates are Jira wiki markup. Each has a filled example next to it for tone and detail calibration — read the example before drafting, because the templates alone underspecify how much detail an RHDH reviewer expects.

BugRHDHBUGSassets/templates/bug.txtassets/examples/bug-example.txt

Spikes use the Task template with a SPIKE: prefix on the summary and a time-boxed story point estimate. A Vulnerability uses the Story template and always carries the Security component. Feature Request and Outcome templates exist in RHDHPLAN; this skill does not carry them, so draft those from the project's own template in the Jira UI.

Sub-tasks are children of an existing issue, never standalone.

A filled template is wiki markup, and Jira Cloud will render wiki markup or Markdown as literal characters (h1., *text*, # Heading) when those bytes are stuffed into ADF text nodes instead of converted. /rhdh-jira-api owns wiki→ADF conversion; do not hand-build ADF from Markdown paragraphs.

Boundary with the neighbouring skills

  • Running the interview and creating the issue is /rhdh-jira-create.
  • Auditing issues that already exist is /rhdh-jira-refine.
  • Field IDs, the component catalog, JQL, acli syntax, and workflow exit criteria are /rhdh-jira-api.
  • The general interview cadence is the grilling skill, invoked by name. What is here is only the RHDH-specific half.

Completion

When a person invokes this skill directly and the result is a complete draft for them to use, invoke /prose-editing once on the filled summary and description in the flavored register before returning it. Preserve Jira wiki markup, template headings, field values, issue keys, links, and acceptance criteria. When /rhdh-jira-create or /rhdh-jira-refine calls this skill, hand back the authoring result without editing; the final caller owns the single prose pass.

Complete when the draft names its template and its issue type, every section the template asks for is either filled or explicitly marked out of scope, every applicable challenge in the matrix has been applied or skipped with a stated reason, and the proposed size cites the scale it came from rather than a feeling. A duplicate check reports the query it ran and the row count it saw. Nothing here is complete on the strength of a draft the user has not seen.
