Jira Upload Chat Log

Upload Chat Log to JIRA

Export and upload the current chat conversation as a markdown file attachment to a JIRA ticket for later review and documentation.

Prerequisites

• The jira-workitem-attach skill must be installed
• JIRA_API_TOKEN environment variable must be set with a valid API token for https://redhat.atlassian.net
• JIRA_EMAIL environment variable must be set with the email address associated with your Atlassian account
• Appropriate JIRA permissions to add attachments to the target ticket

Usage

This skill exports the current conversation as a formatted markdown document and uploads it as an attachment to a specified JIRA ticket.

Implementation

Step 1: Determine the Ticket Key

1. If a ticket key is provided by the user, use it
2. Otherwise, search the conversation history for JIRA ticket references matching the pattern [A-Z]+-\d+
3. If no ticket is found in context, ask the user: "Which JIRA ticket should I attach this chat log to? (e.g., AIPCC-1234)"

Step 2: Format the Conversation with Summary and Full Transcript

Create a document with two main sections: Summary and Full Chat Log. Format the document as follows:

# Chat Log Export - JIRA Ticket: [ticket-key]

**Exported**: [current timestamp]
**Ticket**: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/[ticket-key]

---

## Summary

[Provide a concise summary of the conversation including:
- Main topic/task discussed
- Key decisions made
- Files created/modified
- Important outcomes or next steps
- 3-5 paragraphs maximum]

---

## Full Chat Transcript

[Export the complete conversation transcript in the same format as the `/export` command:
- All user messages and assistant responses
- All tool calls and their results
- Code blocks, thinking blocks, and system messages
- Timestamps and metadata
- The full, unabridged conversation from start to finish]

The summary should be human-readable and highlight key points. The full transcript should be comprehensive for detailed review.

Step 3: Save to Temporary File

1. Create a temporary file with a descriptive name: chat-log-{ticket-key}-{timestamp}.md
2. Write the formatted conversation to this file
3. Store in the system temporary directory (e.g., /tmp on Linux, /private/tmp on macOS, or use mktemp to create in the appropriate location)

Step 4: Upload to JIRA

Invoke the jira-workitem-attach skill to upload the file:

/jira-workitem-attach  

The skill will:

• Verify environment variables (JIRAAPITOKEN, JIRA_EMAIL) are set
• Verify the ticket exists and is accessible
• Upload the file as an attachment
• Display success message with attachment details
• Handle all error cases (authentication, permissions, file size, etc.)

Step 5: Confirm and Clean Up

1. If upload succeeds:

• Inform the user: "Successfully uploaded chat log to {ticket-key}"
• The jira-workitem-attach skill will provide the direct ticket link

1. If upload fails:

• The jira-workitem-attach skill will display the error and troubleshooting guidance

1. Delete the temporary file after upload attempt (success or failure)

Error Handling

• Missing jira-workitem-attach skill: Inform user that the skill must be installed
• Chat export failure: Check conversation history is available
• File creation failure: Verify temp directory is writable
• Upload errors: Delegated to the jira-workitem-attach skill (handles authentication, permissions, file size, etc.)
