# Assess Risk Level for OLS Stories ## Overview Assess the risk level for one or more OLS Jira stories using the team's risk rubric. After assessing, set the Risk Score field and add a risk assessment comment. ## Usage ``` /estimate-risk OLS-1234 /estimate-risk OLS-1234 OLS-1235 OLS-1236 ``` Also invoked automatically after creating a new OLS story. Works for Stories, Bugs, Tasks, Weaknesses, and Vulnerabilities. ## Rubric Location Read the full rubric from the OLS repo root: `risk-level-rubric.md` You MUST read this file before assessing. It contains: - Risk level definitions (1, 2, 3) with customer impact and review requirements - Classification examples by change type - Decision tree for determining risk level - Edge cases (cross-repo, CVEs, spikes, feature flags) ## Workflow ### Step 1: Read the rubric ``` Read risk-level-rubric.md ``` ### Step 2: Parse story keys from arguments Extract all `OLS-XXXX` keys from the skill arguments. If no arguments provided, ask the user for story key(s). ### Step 3: For each story #### 3a. Fetch the story from Jira Use `mcp__atlassian__getJiraIssue` with: - `cloudId`: `redhat.atlassian.net` - `issueIdOrKey`: the story key - `fields`: `["summary", "description", "components", "labels", "issuetype", "customfield_10976"]` - `responseContentFormat`: `markdown` Extract: summary, description, components, labels, current Risk Score value. If Risk Score is already set, tell the user the current value and ask whether to re-assess or skip. #### 3b. Apply the rubric Using the rubric you read in Step 1: 1. **Read the summary and description** — identify what kind of change this is 2. **Walk the decision tree:** - External contract change? → Risk 3 - User-visible behavior change? → Risk 3 - Internal logic change? → Risk 2 - Mechanical/cosmetic change? → Risk 1 3. **Check classification examples** — match the change type to the table 4. **Check edge cases** — cross-repo, CVE, spike, feature flag 5. **When in doubt, bias UP** — Risk 2 → Risk 3 is safer than the reverse #### 3c. Set Risk Score on the Jira issue Use `mcp__atlassian__editJiraIssue` with: - `cloudId`: `redhat.atlassian.net` - `issueIdOrKey`: the story key - `fields`: `{"customfield_10976": <risk_level>}` Where `<risk_level>` is 1, 2, or 3. #### 3d. Add risk assessment comment Use `mcp__plugin_atlassian_atlassian__addCommentToJiraIssue` with: - `cloudId`: `redhat.atlassian.net` - `issueIdOrKey`: the story key - `contentFormat`: `markdown` - `commentBody`: `**AI Risk Assessment:** Risk {1|2|3} — {one-line impact summary}\nRationale: {why this classification, referencing the rubric}` Do NOT modify the description field. ### Step 4: Report to user For each story, report: - Story key and summary - Risk level and one-line rationale ## Jira Field Reference - **Risk Score field**: `customfield_10976` (number, float — set to 1, 2, or 3) - **Cloud ID**: `redhat.atlassian.net` - **Project**: `OLS` - **Scale**: 1 (low), 2 (medium), 3 (high)
