Jeli Management Skill

Manage and analyze incidents, post-incident narratives, and organizational learning in Jeli.

API Conventions

Authentication

All API calls use the Authorization: Bearer $JELI_API_KEY header. Never hardcode tokens.

Base URL

https://api.jeli.io/v1

Core Helper Function

#!/bin/bash

jeli_api() {
    local method="$1"
    local endpoint="$2"
    local data="${3:-}"

    if [ -n "$data" ]; then
        curl -s -X "$method" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $JELI_API_KEY" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            "https://api.jeli.io/v1${endpoint}" \
            -d "$data"
    else
        curl -s -X "$method" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $JELI_API_KEY" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            "https://api.jeli.io/v1${endpoint}"
    fi
}

Output Rules

• TOKEN EFFICIENCY: Extract only needed fields with jq
• Target <=50 lines per script output
• Never dump full API responses

Discovery Phase

List Incidents

#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Recent Incidents ==="
jeli_api GET "/incidents?limit=25&sort=-created_at" \
    | jq -r '.incidents[] | "\(.created_at[0:16])\t\(.severity // "none")\t\(.status)\t\(.title[0:60])"' \
    | column -t

echo ""
echo "=== Incident Count by Status ==="
jeli_api GET "/incidents?limit=100" \
    | jq -r '.incidents[] | .status' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

List Opportunities

#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Open Opportunities ==="
jeli_api GET "/opportunities?status=open&limit=20" \
    | jq -r '.opportunities[] | "\(.priority // "none")\t\(.title[0:60])\t\(.assignee // "unassigned")"' \
    | column -t

echo ""
echo "=== Opportunity Tags ==="
jeli_api GET "/opportunities?limit=50" \
    | jq -r '.opportunities[].tags[]' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10

Analysis Phase

Incident Narrative Review

#!/bin/bash
INCIDENT_ID="${1:?Incident ID required}"

echo "=== Incident Details ==="
jeli_api GET "/incidents/${INCIDENT_ID}" \
    | jq '.incident | {id, title, status, severity, created_at, resolved_at, summary: .summary[0:200]}'

echo ""
echo "=== Narrative ==="
jeli_api GET "/incidents/${INCIDENT_ID}/narrative" \
    | jq -r '.narrative.content[0:500]'

echo ""
echo "=== Contributing Factors ==="
jeli_api GET "/incidents/${INCIDENT_ID}/factors" \
    | jq -r '.factors[] | "\(.category)\t\(.description[0:60])"' | column -t

Learning Patterns

#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Recurring Themes ==="
jeli_api GET "/incidents?limit=50" \
    | jq -r '.incidents[].tags[]' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Incidents by Team ==="
jeli_api GET "/incidents?limit=50" \
    | jq -r '.incidents[] | .teams[].name' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10

Output Format

• Use tab-separated columns with column -t
• Limit lists to 15-25 items
• Show summaries before details

Anti-Hallucination Rules

1. NEVER assume resource names — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
2. NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions — verify against the service documentation or --help output.
3. NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
4. ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
5. ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.

Counter-Rationalizations

Shortcut	Counter	Why
"I'll skip discovery and check known resources"	Always run Phase 1 discovery first	Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors
"The user only asked for a quick check"	Follow the full discovery → analysis flow	Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures
"Default configuration is probably fine"	Audit configuration explicitly	Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled
"Metrics aren't needed for this"	Always check relevant metrics when available	API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues
"I don't have access to that"	Try the command and report the actual error	Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative

Common Pitfalls

• Narrative-focused: Jeli emphasizes narrative understanding over metrics -- summaries and context are key fields
• Opportunities: Jeli calls improvement items "opportunities" not "action items"
• Slack integration: Most incident data is ingested from Slack conversations
• Rate limits: Respect API rate limiting headers
• Pagination: Use limit and offset parameters
