Redmine Tools Skill

This skill provides a Node.js CLI to fetch, update, and summarize Redmine issues.

Command

node scripts/redmine.js get --id <issueId>
node scripts/redmine.js update --id <issueId> [--status_id <statusId>] [--notes <text>]
node scripts/redmine.js image --id <issueId>

Supported Flags

• --id <issueId>: Required Redmine issue ID.
• --include <fields>: Optional include fields. Defaults to attachments,journals.
• --status_id <statusId>: Optional for update. New Redmine status ID.
• --notes <text>: Optional for update. Journal note content.
• At least one of --status_id or --notes must be provided for update.

Environment Variables

• OPENAI_API_URL: OpenAI-compatible API base URL or full /chat/completions URL.
• OPENAI_API_KEY: OpenAI-compatible API key.
• OPENAI_MODEL: Model name used for image summarization.
• OPENAI_IMAGE_SUMMARY_PROMPT: Prompt used to summarize each image attachment.

Behavior

• get uses endpoint: /issues/:id.json with include=attachments,journals by default.
• update uses endpoint: /issues/:id.json (HTTP PUT) and sends only the provided status_id and/or notes fields.
• image fetches issue attachments, keeps supported image files, and summarizes each image through an OpenAI-compatible chat/completions API.
• Reads base URL and API key from environment variables only.
• Reads model URL, key, model name, and image summary prompt from environment variables.
• Prints JSON output to stdout.
• Returns non-zero exit code on errors.

Image Command Notes

• Supported image types: png, jpg, jpeg, webp, gif.
• Non-image or unsupported attachments are skipped and reported in the output.
• The command downloads each image attachment and sends it as a data URL to the model.
• The model prompt can include your own formatting, tone, or output constraints.
