Divergences in detail

Step 3 transition ran after investigation (ordering)

  • Prose says: step 3 (transition to In Progress) precedes step 4 (investigate).
  • What happened: the agent did the full investigation pass first (reads/greps/globs, toolu_017k9y onward), then transitioned to In Progress at toolu_01BSj8a, then implemented.
  • Consequence: none observable — the issue was still In Progress well before any commit/push. The only visible effect is the issue sat in its prior status during the read-only investigation.
  • Likely why: on a first look the agent wanted to understand the surface before flipping status; the two steps are independent and the ordering reads as harmless. Also plausibly influenced by wanting to fold prior context (step 4's "read prior memory") before acting.
  • Suggested fix: no action / optional prose note. If strict ordering ever matters (e.g. to signal "someone is on this" early), add half a clause to step 3 — "transition first, so the board reflects work-in-progress before you start reading." Otherwise leave it; this is a benign reorder, not a defect.

Step 7 test gate skipped without the "ask the user" step

  • Prose says: 7a — if test commands are "Not documented anywhere → ask the user whether to install a test runner… don't decide on their behalf," and only "if they say no, or this stack genuinely has no test layer → skip."
  • What happened: the agent skipped straight to functional validation, noting in the report "no unit-test harness in this repo — by design; validation is functional runs + claude plugin validate, per AGENTS.md." It never asked the user. In place of unit tests it ran a byte-for-byte no-regression diff (toolu_014G4b), a synthetic fixture render (toolu_01GSwt), and the mermaid checker (toolu_01DrnN, toolu_015dG2).
  • Consequence: none negative — this repo genuinely has no test layer and AGENTS.md documents that; the substituted validation was arguably more thorough than the prose's step-7 flow would have produced.
  • Likely why: step 7 is written for a code repo with a runnable suite. It has no branch for "a prompt-files/marketplace repo whose 'tests' are functional validation + claude plugin validate," so the agent used its own judgment (backed by AGENTS.md) and shortcut the ask.
  • Suggested fix: prose edit (small). Add to 7a's "genuinely has no test layer" branch a phrase legitimising documented-no-suite repos: "…or the repo documents that it has no automated test suite (e.g. a plugin/prompt repo validated functionally) → skip unit tests, run whatever functional/validation checks the repo does define, and say so in the report." That turns this from an implicit workaround into a sanctioned path.

Incidents

Code executions

What failed (uuid)Root causeAgent's reactionWorkaround / fixSuggested prose fix
collect_feature.ps1 exit 1 — new collector emitted empty schema/keys (toolu_014BsMC)Internal to the deliverable, not the skill: a PowerShell ConvertTo-Json / [ordered]-hashtable / List.Count serialization quirk in the code the agent was writing for JST-125Thrashed: wrote 6 throwaway test-agg*.ps1 probes (toolu_01TxsHytoolu_01RiMAC) bisecting which key broke ConvertTo-Json before finding itIsolated the quirk, fixed via two Edits to collect_feature.ps1 (toolu_01Sbtg8, toolu_019MVm); re-run succeeded (toolu_019UM7)None for jira-task-executor — the bug was in JST-125's own code, outside this skill's prose. (See Step 4 root-cause note.)
find … exit 2 (toolu_017k9y)External/benign — find quirk under Windows git-bash; the ls half succeededImmediately pivoted to Glob (toolu_01MZZb…)Glob found the files; no residueNone — transient, self-corrected in one step
Validation command exit 49 (toolu_014yAD1t)External env: claude plugin validate . passed (✔ Validation passed); the python3 -m json.tool fallback failed — "Python was not found" (Windows Store alias stub)Read the output, saw primary validation passed, moved onNone needed — the belt-and-suspenders fallback is redundant when the primary passedNot a jira-task-executor concern; it's an AGENTS.md portability gap — the JSON-fallback recipe assumes python3, which a Windows box may not have. Worth a note in AGENTS.md's validation section, not this skill

The single incident that cost real time was the collector crash + 6-script bisection (toolu_014BsMCtoolu_01RiMAC, roughly the 18:xx cluster). It is task-code debugging, not a skill-compliance failure — jira-task-executor's prose gave no bad instruction; the agent was debugging the PowerShell it authored as the deliverable.

Helper scripts worth keeping

| What the agent built | Born at (uuid) | Worked? | Suggested home | | test-agg{1..7}.ps1 — 6 throwaway probes bisecting the ConvertTo-Json / [ordered] / List.Count serialization quirk | toolu_01TxsHy, toolu_012aGc, toolu_011czc, toolu_014gzV, toolu_01QXYC, toolu_01RiMAC | yes (found the quirk) | None — run-specific noise. Diagnostics for one PowerShell gotcha in one script; nothing for the next executor run to reuse | | Old-vs-new structural no-regression diff (git show HEAD:…ps1 → normalize token/timestamp values → diff) | toolu_014G4b | yes (confirmed byte-identical single-step) | Not for _shared — it's specific to the feature-report deliverable, not to executing an arbitrary issue. Belongs (if anywhere) in the conversation-debugger skill's own dev notes, not jira-task-executor |

Verdict

A clean, compliant run: all 12 executor steps reached, Windows→PowerShell dispatch chosen correctly up front and confirmed by the platform row, PR base resolved to the parent branch exactly as §12 prescribes, and the run report posted as a single --body-file Jira comment. The one finding worth acting on is a prose gap, not an agent fault: step 7 has no branch for a repo that documents it has no automated test suite, so the agent had to skip the "ask the user about a test runner" gate on its own judgment and substitute functional validation — legitimise that path in 7a. The lone secondary note is the ordering swap of step 3 (transition) after step 4 (investigate), which is harmless and needs at most a one-clause nudge. The time-consuming collector-crash incident was the agent debugging its own deliverable code (a PowerShell serialization quirk), not anything jira-task-executor told it to do — no skill fix indicated there.
