To get values for them the easiest way is to authenticate to your slack workspace in chrome/chromium browser

On same page go to More Tools -> Developer Tools

On Developer Tools go to:

• XOXC: Application -> Storage -> Local Storage -> https>//app.slack.com -> localConfig_v2 (key) -> 'token' key inside the json value
• XOXD: Application -> Storage -> Cookies -> https>//app.slack.com -> d (key)

Since it is slack enterpise we need to get value for User-Agent. To get it from same place we check Networking and check request headers to get the value, it should be something similar to Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/139.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Disclaimer, the first time you reuse those Tokens you will probably be signed off as precaution, the second time you sign in the tokens should last.

5. GitLab Branch Manager Skill

Use Cases:

• Create release branches from main or a specific tag/ref
• Apply branch protection rules (push, merge, force push, unprotect restrictions)
• Verify branch protection configuration

Key Features:

• Smart repo resolution (short name, full path, or URL)
• Extensible protection rules with generic --rule KEY=VALUE override
• Idempotent protection checks (matching rules succeed, differing rules fail)
• Dry-run mode for previewing actions
• JSON and human-readable output
• Compatible with bash 3.2+ (macOS, RHEL, Ubuntu, Alpine)

6. Jira Utilities Skill

Use Cases:

• Fetch a single issue by key
• Search issues with JQL (Jira Query Language)
• Create new issues with full field support
• Update fields on existing issues
• Link issues with typed relationships (blocks, duplicates, relates to)
• Fetch sprint information from Jira Software boards

Key Features:

• Supports Jira Cloud (Basic auth) and Data Center (Bearer/PAT) authentication
• Python REST API integration — no unmaintained third-party CLI required
• Standalone scripts usable from other skills
• Full test suite with mocked HTTP calls

Prerequisites:

• JIRA_BASE_URL - Jira instance URL (e.g., https://yourorg.atlassian.net)
• JIRA_TOKEN - API token (Cloud) or Personal Access Token (Data Center)
• JIRA_EMAIL - User email (Cloud auth only)
• JIRA_AUTH_TYPE - cloud or datacenter (default: cloud)

Basic Skill Invocation

Skills are invoked automatically by Claude Code when relevant to your request. You can also explicitly reference them:

# CI/CD analysis
"Analyze failed jobs in the last 24 hours for owner/repo"

# Konflux releases
"Create a production release for tag v1.2.3 in owner/repo"

# AWS log troubleshooting
"Find errors in /aws/application/myapp from the last hour"

# Slack operations
"Search for messages about 'deployment' in #engineering"

# Branch management
"Create a branch release-1.5 on aipcc-claudio"

Example Workflows

Production Release Workflow

Using the Konflux Release skill:

"Create a production release for tag v1.2.3 in owner/repo"

"Investigate errors in /aws/application/myapp from the last hour"

Claude will:

1. Search CloudWatch Logs for errors with time-range filtering
2. Extract and categorize error patterns
3. Analyze error distribution and provide actionable insights

CI/CD Failure Analysis

Using GitLab Job Analyzer skill:

"Analyze CI/CD failures for owner/repo in the last 24 hours, broken down by runner type"

Claude will:

1. Run comprehensive job analysis
2. Identify failure patterns by runner, stage, and error type
3. Provide actionable insights

Branch Management Workflow

Using the GitLab Branch Manager skill:

"Create a branch release-1.5 on owner/repo from tag v1.4.0"

Claude will:

1. Resolve the repository to its full GitLab project path
2. Create the branch from the specified ref

Tool Management

The claudio-plugin/tools/ directory provides centralized installation scripts for CLI tools used by skills. This system ensures consistent, maintainable dependency management. Design Principles:

• Simplicity: Scripts do one thing well - install the tool if not present
• Reusability: Common functions shared via common.sh library
• Linux-only: Focus on Linux x86_64 and ARM64 architectures

Available Tools:

• aws-cli/install.sh - AWS CLI v2 installer
• glab/install.sh - glab GitLab CLI installer
• kubectl/install.sh - kubectl Kubernetes CLI installer
• python/ - Python package installers (pip-based requirements.txt files)
• skopeo/install.sh - skopeo container image inspector installer

Adding New Tools:

See claudio-plugin/tools/TOOLS.md for comprehensive guidelines on adding new tool installers.

Performance Optimization

When using multiple skills together (especially GitLab Job Analyzer + AWS Log Analyzer), follow these optimization patterns:

1. Maximum Parallelization - Execute independent data fetches concurrently
2. Parse JSON Directly - Use jq on existing outputs instead of multiple queries
3. Eliminate Redundant Calls - Extract data from existing results
4. Smart Targeting - Analyze first, then target specific resources

See CLAUDE.md for detailed optimization guidelines and performance benchmarks.

Development

Adding a New Skill

1. Create a directory under claudio-plugin/skills/<skill-name>/
2. Add a SKILL.md file with skill documentation
3. Add any required scripts under scripts/
4. Update claudio-plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json if needed
5. Add tool installers to claudio-plugin/tools/ if dependencies are needed

Testing

Each skill includes its own test scenarios. Run skill-specific scripts directly to test functionality:

# Test GitLab job analyzer
./claudio-plugin/skills/gitlab-job-analyzer/scripts/analyze_recent_jobs.sh owner/repo --hours 24

# Test AWS log analyzer
./claudio-plugin/skills/aws-log-analyzer/scripts/analyze_errors.sh /aws/application/myapp 24
