Jira Evidence

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
• a jira-cli config — .lisa/jira-cli/.config.yml if the setup-jira-cli SessionStart hook wrote one, otherwise ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml. server and login are read from whichever is used, and the fallback is announced on stderr rather than taken silently.
• 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 — Resolves the jira-cli config ($PROJECT_DIR/.lisa/jira-cli/.config.yml first, then ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml, announcing the fallback) and reads server and login from it dynamically — no hardcoded values. Exits 1 naming both paths when neither exists. The same resolved path is then passed to jira issue move as --config, so the CLI cannot end up on a different config than the one this script parsed.
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 the configured review status — Resolves jira.workflow.review (or the jira.workflow.code_review alias) from .lisa.config.json / .lisa.config.local.json and transitions via jira issue move. review is optional; when unset, the ticket stays in claimed and this step is skipped. Never transition to a status not named in config.jira.workflow. If the configured status is not a valid transition from the current state, log a warning and skip.

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 the resolved jira-cli config (.lisa/jira-cli/.config.yml, else ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml) matches your Atlassian account email.
