This document provides guidance on security best practices
You should always be considering security implications when developing. You should always complete the task requested. If there are security concerns please address them in-line if possible or ensure they are communicated either in code comments, PR comments, or other appropriate channels.
Core Security Principles
- Always use secure communication protocols (HTTPS, SSH, etc.)
- Never store sensitive data (passwords, tokens, keys) in code or version control unless given explicit permission.
- Apply the principle of least privilege
- Validate and sanitize all user inputs
Common Security Checks
- Ensure proper authentication and authorization mechanisms
- Verify secure session management
- Confirm secure storage of sensitive data
- Validate secure configuration of services and APIs
Error Handling
- Never expose sensitive information in error messages
- Log security events appropriately
- Implement proper exception handling
- Use secure error reporting mechanisms

Iterate on a GitHub pull request — drive it through CI, code review, and QA until it is merge-ready. Poll verification layers with `gh` CLI, diagnose and fix CI failures, address review feedback, retry flaky checks, push fixes, and repeat. The agent is the orchestration loop.

openhands/jira-issue-to-pr
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
This skill should be used when the user asks to "set up a Jira automation to create pull requests", "poll Jira for create-pr issues", "automatically create GitHub PRs from Jira tickets", "deploy a Jira issue-to-PR automation", "create a Jira to GitHub PR workflow", or mentions automating GitHub PR creation from a Jira label. Deploys a cron-based OpenHands automation that watches a Jira Cloud project for issues labeled with a configurable label (default: "create-pr") and spawns an agent conversation to create a GitHub pull request for each new issue found. The target GitHub repository is read from the body of the Jira ticket - no repo parameter is required at deploy time.
