Description
This skill should be used when verifying that a JIRA ticket meets organizational standards for epic relationships and description quality. It fetches the live ticket and delegates the gate checks to jira-validate-ticket so the bar matches what jira-write-ticket enforces pre-write.

Verify JIRA Ticket: $ARGUMENTS

All Atlassian operations in this skill go through lisa:atlassian-access. Do not call MCP tools or acli directly.

Verify that the existing JIRA ticket $ARGUMENTS meets organizational standards. This skill is a thin post-write wrapper around lisa:jira-validate-ticket: it fetches the live ticket and asks lisa:jira-validate-ticket to run the gates against the fetched state.

This indirection exists so the gate definitions live in exactly one place (lisa:jira-validate-ticket). When the bar changes, change it there — lisa:jira-verify, lisa:jira-write-ticket (Phase 5.5 pre-write), and lisa:notion-to-tracker (PRD dry-run) all pick it up.

Process

  1. Invoke lisa:atlassian-access via the Skill tool with operation: list-sites to confirm the configured site is reachable (the access skill enforces connection match against .lisa.config.json).
  2. Fetch the ticket via lisa:atlassian-access operation: read-ticket key: $ARGUMENTS. Pull issue type, summary, description, parent, links, labels, components, and any custom fields needed.
  3. Invoke lisa:jira-validate-ticket and pass the ticket key. The validator fetches its own copy if needed and runs every gate (Specification + Feasibility) against the live state.
  4. Surface the validator's report verbatim to the caller.

Output

Pass through lisa:jira-validate-ticket's structured output unchanged. Do not summarize or paraphrase — downstream callers (e.g. lisa:jira-agent's pre-flight gate) parse the gate lines.

Notes

  • This skill is read-only. It never edits the ticket, posts comments, or changes status.
  • If a gate fails, the recommendation is part of the validator's report; surface it as-is.
  • Validation Journey checks (S11) historically required a parser script (parse-plan.py); the parser logic now lives inside lisa:jira-validate-ticket so this skill no longer shells out to it.
