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

Always use the full issue key (e.g., MYPROJ-123) in commands.
Run jira issue list before creating tickets to check for existing duplicates.
Use jira issue move to transition issues — confirm the valid transition names with jira issue view first.
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
