What This Skill Does

Uses jira (jira-cli) to interact with Jira projects — listing issues, creating tickets, moving issues through workflow transitions, and managing sprints.

CLI Tool: jira

List & View Issues

jira issue list                             # List issues assigned to you
jira issue list --project MYPROJ            # Filter by project
jira issue list --status "In Progress"      # Filter by status
jira issue list --type Bug                  # Filter by issue type
jira issue view MYPROJ-123                  # View issue details

Create Issues

jira issue create \
  --project MYPROJ \
  --type Bug \
  --summary "Login page throws 500 error" \
  --body "Steps to reproduce: ..." \
  --priority High \
  --label backend

Transitions

jira issue move MYPROJ-123 "In Progress"
jira issue move MYPROJ-123 "Done"
jira issue move MYPROJ-123 "In Review"

Comments

jira issue comment add MYPROJ-123 --body "Fixed in PR #456"

Sprints

jira sprint list --project MYPROJ           # List sprints
jira sprint add MYPROJ-123 --sprint 42      # Add issue to sprint

Usage Guidelines

1. Always use the full issue key (e.g., MYPROJ-123) in commands.
2. Run jira issue list before creating tickets to check for existing duplicates.
3. Use jira issue move to transition issues — confirm the valid transition names with jira issue view first.
4. When the user says "close" or "resolve" an issue, use the appropriate transition name for their workflow.

Notes

• Requires jira init to configure server URL and credentials before use.
• Install: brew install ankitpokhrel/jira-cli/jira-cli
