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

• Python 3 and uv must be installed and available in PATH
• 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 (e.g., "AIPCC-1234", "working on PROJ-567")
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 /tmp/claude/ directory (respects TMPDIR environment)

Step 4: Upload to JIRA

1. Use the upload script located at scripts/upload_chat_log.py relative to this skill
2. Run the script directly (not via python) to invoke uv properly via the shebang:

   ./scripts/upload_chat_log.py <ticket-key> <file-path>
   

3. The script will:
   • Read the JIRA_API_TOKEN environment variable
   • Connect to https://redhat.atlassian.net
   • Upload the file as an attachment to the specified ticket
   • Return success or error messages

Step 5: Confirm and Clean Up

1. If upload succeeds:
   • Inform the user: "Successfully uploaded chat log to {ticket-key} on https://redhat.atlassian.net"
   • Provide the direct link: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/{ticket-key}
2. If upload fails:
   • Display the error message from the script
   • Provide troubleshooting guidance (check token, permissions, ticket exists)
3. Delete the temporary file after upload attempt (success or failure)

Error Handling

• Missing JIRA_API_TOKEN: Provide clear instructions on how to obtain and set the token
• Invalid Ticket Key: Verify the ticket exists and is accessible
• Permission Denied: Check that the API token has permission to add attachments
• Script Not Found: Verify the script exists at the expected path
• Upload Failure: Display the specific error and suggest checking network, credentials, and ticket accessibility
