PIR Action Tracker Skill

Automates the maintenance of Post-Incident Review (PIR) pages in Confluence by syncing action item status from Jira, flagging overdue items, and marking completed PIRs with a visible closure panel.

What This Skill Does

1. Discovers candidate PIR pages in a configured Confluence space, then keeps only pages with qualifying internal-action tables
2. Parses every qualifying action item table — extracts ticket references, current status, and target/due/completion dates where present
3. Fetches live status for each referenced Jira ticket
4. Updates each retained PIR page in-place with the latest status and target/due/completion dates where present
5. Closes completed PIRs with a prominent green ✅ success panel listing what was accomplished
6. Reports any overdue or unverifiable actions for human follow-up

Configuration

Before running, set these variables in your prompt or environment:

Ticket Prefix Map (optional)

If your PIRs reference tickets across multiple Jira sites, provide a prefix-to-site map:

CMON, SAM → hello.atlassian.net
PIRA → opsj.atlassian.net
MEP → experimentation-platform.atlassian.net

Tickets on inaccessible external sites are flagged in the report but not updated.

Trigger Phrases

• "update the PIR tracker"
• "check PIR action items"
• "sync PIR pages"
• "any overdue PIR actions?"
• "close completed PIRs"
• "PIR status update"

Workflow

Step 1 — Discover Candidate PIR Pages

search_confluence_using_cql(
  site_url="{CONFLUENCE_SITE}",
  cql='space = "{CONFLUENCE_SPACE}" AND title ~ "{PIR_SEARCH_TERM}" AND type = page ORDER BY lastModified DESC',
  limit=50
)

For each result, note the page ID, title, URL, and last modified date.

Initial skip rules:

• Skip pages whose title contains Index, Landing, or similar navigation-only wording.
• Skip pages that are clearly folder helpers, rollups, or reports rather than incident pages.
• Do not assume that every page with PIR in the title should be maintained.

Step 2 — Keep Only Pages With Qualifying Action Tables

For each candidate page:

1. Fetch: get_confluence_page(page_url=..., output_file="tmp_pir_{page_id}.html")
2. Find all <table> elements containing:

• a ticket/work-item column named any of: Ticket, Issue, Jira
• a status column named any of: Status, Current Status
• an action-description column named any of: Action, Work to Be Done, Action item summary
• and optionally a date column named any of: Due date, Target date, Est. Completion, Completion date

1. Keep the page only if at least one row in at least one matching table contains an internal work-item reference, such as:

• a Jira key in linked or plain-text form
• an Atlassian-internal Jira URL
• an Atlas project/update link that is being used as the tracked internal work item

1. Skip the page entirely if it has no qualifying table.
2. For each retained row extract:

• ticket_id — Jira key from <a href> or cell text
• action_summary — plain-text description of the work
• status_text — text inside <span data-type="status"> or plain text in the status cell
• due_date — from <time datetime="YYYY-MM-DD"> or plain text
• completion_date — if the table uses a dedicated completion-date field

Important scope rule:

• This skill exists to maintain manually curated action/status tables on PIR pages.
• If a page is a PIR narrative without a qualifying action table, leave it untouched.

#### Common Table Formats

Step 3 — Fetch Live Jira Status

For each ticket:

1. Determine Jira site from prefix map (or use default JIRA_SITE)
2. Call: get_jira_issue(issue_url=..., extra_fields=["duedate", "status", "resolutiondate"])
3. Map Jira status → Confluence status lozenge:

1. Due date: prefer duedate field → fall back to resolutiondate (if Done) → fall back to existing page value

If a ticket is inaccessible (external Jira, no auth), skip gracefully — keep the existing page value and note it in the report.

Step 4 — Update PIR Pages

For each page with at least one changed value:

1. Edit the local HTML file — update status lozenges and date cells:

<!-- Status update -->
<span data-type="status" data-color="blue">In Progress</span>
→ <span data-type="status" data-color="green">Done</span>

<!-- Date update (Format B) -->
<time datetime="2026-05-11">May 11, 2026</time>
→ <time datetime="2026-06-15">June 15, 2026</time>

1. Publish:

update_confluence_page(
  page_url=...,
  content="tmp_pir_{page_id}.html",
  version_message="PIR Action Tracker: synced status from Jira — {YYYY-MM-DD}"
)

1. Delete the temp file after publishing.

Safety rules:

• Only modify status, target-date, due-date, and completion-date cells in qualifying action item tables
• Never touch incident summary, root cause, timeline, contacts, communication review, or resolution sections
• Never add or remove rows unless the user explicitly asks for structural cleanup
• Only re-publish pages where at least one tracked table value changed
• If a ticket is inaccessible, keep the existing page value
• If a page was retained only because of one qualifying table, do not modify unrelated tables on that page

Step 5 — Mark Completed PIRs as Closed

A PIR is eligible to be marked Closed when:

• All action items in all tables have status: Done / Resolved / Closed
• OR the page has no tracked action items (narrative-only PIR)

For each eligible page, prepend a green success panel to the top of the page:

<div data-type="panel-success">
  <h2>✅ All Post-Incident Actions Complete — This PIR is Closed</h2>
  <p>All engineering follow-up actions from this incident have been completed
  and verified. No further action is required from Atlassian on this
  incident.</p>
  <p><strong>{N} completed actions:</strong></p>
  <ul>
    <li><p>{Plain-English description of action 1}</p></li>
    <li><p>{Plain-English description of action 2}</p></li>
    ...
  </ul>
  <p><em>Closed: {date} · {team name}</em></p>
</div>

Guidelines for the action list:

• Use human-readable plain English — not ticket keys or internal identifiers
• Group by theme if there are more than 6 actions (e.g. "Cluster Optimization (4 actions): ...")
• For narrative-only PIRs (no tracked tickets), use the shorter variant:

  <h2>✅ This PIR is Closed — No Tracked Action Items</h2>
  <p>This post-incident review was completed without formal tracked action items.
  The findings and recommendations are documented below for reference.</p>

Do not add the closure panel if any action items are still open.

Step 6 — Generate Overdue Report

Flag any action item where:

• Due date is in the past AND status is not Done/Resolved
• Due date is "TBD" AND the incident is > 90 days old
• Ticket fetch failed AND due date is in the past

⚠️  PIR ACTION ITEM STATUS REPORT
════════════════════════════════════
Generated: {date} | Pages scanned: {N} | Pages updated: {N}

🔴 OVERDUE — Past Due Date, Not Done
──────────────────────────────────────
PIR: {page title} → {page URL}
  • {ticket} — {action summary}
    Due: {date} ({N} days overdue) | Status: {current status}
    → Recommended: {suggested follow-up}

🟡 TBD — No Due Date, Incident > 90 Days Old
──────────────────────────────────────────────
PIR: {page title} → {page URL}
  • {ticket} — {action summary}
    → Recommended: Request a target date from the engineering team

⚪ STATUS UNVERIFIABLE — External Ticket
──────────────────────────────────────────
PIR: {page title} → {page URL}
  • {ticket} — {action summary}
    → Manually verify at: {ticket URL}

✅ ALL CLEAR
─────────────
{N} pages updated · {N} action items synced · {N} already current · {N} PIRs closed

Step 7 — Offer Follow-Up Actions

After the report, offer:

1. Draft a follow-up email to the responsible engineering team for overdue items
2. Create a tracking Jira ticket for overdue follow-up
3. Add overdue items to the next morning brief or standup agenda

Suggested Cadence

Example Usage

# Weekly sweep
"Update the PIR tracker for all open PIRs in the <SPACE_KEY> space"

# Check for overdue items only
"Any overdue PIR actions this week?"

# Close completed PIRs
"Mark any completed PIRs as closed"

# After a new PIR is published
"New PIR just published — sync it with the tracker"

Tips

• Pre-filter by date: Use lastModified > now("-180d") in the CQL query to skip very old PIRs that are unlikely to have open items.
• Prefer table qualification over title qualification: A page with PIR in the title should still be skipped unless it contains a qualifying internal-action table.
• Batch updates: Run all Jira fetches in parallel before making any page updates to minimize round trips.
• Preserve manually written framing: Intro panels, executive summaries, and narrative sections are not tracker-owned content.
• Customer-safe language: When writing the closure panel action list, avoid internal team names, ticket keys, and jargon. Write as if the customer will read it — because they might.
• Preserve history: Always use a meaningful version_message so the page history shows what changed and why.
