name	jira-evidence
description	Upload evidence to GitHub pr-assets release, update PR description, upload attachments to JIRA, post comment, and move ticket to Code Review. Reusable by any skill that captures evidence and generates evidence/comment.txt + evidence/comment.md.

JIRA Evidence Posting

Upload captured evidence and generated templates to GitHub PR description and JIRA ticket. This skill is the posting step — it assumes evidence files and comment templates already exist in the evidence directory.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS: <TICKET_ID> <EVIDENCE_DIR> <PR_NUMBER>

• TICKET_ID (required): JIRA ticket key (e.g., PROJ-123)
• EVIDENCE_DIR (required): Directory containing evidence and templates (e.g., ./evidence)
• PR_NUMBER (required): GitHub PR number to update description

Prerequisites

• JIRA_API_TOKEN environment variable set
• jira-cli configured (~/.config/.jira/.config.yml) — server and login are read from there
• gh CLI authenticated
• Evidence directory containing:
  • Evidence files: NN-name-viewport.png (screenshots) and/or NN-name.txt/NN-name.json (text evidence)
  • comment.txt — JIRA wiki markup (generated by generate-templates.py)
  • comment.md — GitHub markdown (generated by generate-templates.py)

Usage

bash .claude/skills/jira-evidence/scripts/post-evidence.sh <TICKET_ID> <EVIDENCE_DIR> <PR_NUMBER>

Example

bash .claude/skills/jira-evidence/scripts/post-evidence.sh PROJ-123 ./evidence 42

What It Does

1. Read JIRA config — Reads ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml to obtain server and login dynamically (no hardcoded values)
2. Upload to GitHub pr-assets release — Uploads evidence files via gh release upload --clobber, creating CDN URLs
3. Update PR description — Replaces or appends the ## Evidence section in the PR body using gh pr edit
4. Upload JIRA attachments — Uploads image evidence via REST API v3 so !filename.png! wiki markup renders inline
5. Post JIRA comment — Posts comment.txt as a new comment via REST API v2 (wiki markup)
6. Move ticket to Code Review — Transitions the JIRA ticket via jira issue move

Evidence Naming Conventions

• Image evidence: NN-name-viewport.png (e.g., 01-search-step-desktop.png)
• Text evidence: NN-name.txt or NN-name.json (e.g., 01-health-check.json)

Troubleshooting

Images not rendering in GitHub PR

Images must be in the pr-assets GitHub release. If the release does not exist, create it first:

gh release create pr-assets --title "PR Assets" --notes "CDN for PR evidence"

JIRA comment shows !filename.png! as text (not image)

The screenshot must be uploaded as a JIRA attachment before posting the comment. The script uploads attachments first then posts the comment.

JIRA API returns 403 on attachment upload

Ensure JIRA_API_TOKEN is set and login in ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml matches your Atlassian account email.
