Atlassian CLI - Jira Workflows

Quick reference for common Atlassian CLI Jira operations. Requires acli to be installed and authenticated.

Documentation: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/acli/reference/commands/jira/

Prerequisites

If acli is not installed or not authenticated, instruct the user to run:

acli auth login --web    # Opens browser for OAuth
acli auth status         # Verify authentication

Common JQL Patterns

Use these JQL queries with acli jira workitem search --jql "...":

Find tickets assigned to you

acli jira workitem search --jql "assignee = currentUser()" --paginate

Find tickets in a specific status

acli jira workitem search --jql 'status = "In Progress"'
acli jira workitem search --jql 'status IN ("To Do", "In Progress")'

Find tickets by project

acli jira workitem search --jql "project = PROJECTKEY"

Find tickets by reporter

acli jira workitem search --jql "reporter = currentUser()"

Find unassigned tickets

acli jira workitem search --jql "assignee = EMPTY"

Find recently updated tickets

acli jira workitem search --jql "updated >= -7d ORDER BY updated DESC"

Find open bugs in a project

acli jira workitem search --jql "project = PROJECTKEY AND type = Bug AND status != Closed"

Work Item Operations

View a ticket

acli jira workitem view PROJECTKEY-123

Create a new ticket

acli jira workitem create \
  --project PROJECTKEY \
  --type Task \
  --title "My new task" \
  --description "Task description"

Edit a ticket

acli jira workitem edit PROJECTKEY-123 --summary "Updated title"

Assign a ticket

acli jira workitem assign PROJECTKEY-123 --assignee user@example.com

Transition a ticket (change status)

acli jira workitem transition PROJECTKEY-123 --transition "In Progress"

Add a comment

acli jira workitem comment create --key PROJECTKEY-123 --body "This is my comment"

# Or from a file:
acli jira workitem comment create --key PROJECTKEY-123 --body-file comment.md

Delete a ticket

acli jira workitem delete PROJECTKEY-123

Board & Sprint Commands

acli jira board list-sprints --board BOARDKEY
acli jira sprint list-workitems --sprint SPRINTID
acli jira board search --name "My Board"

Tips

JQL Documentation: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/expand-jira/jira-query-language
Use --paginate when you expect many results (avoids truncation)
Use --json for programmatic processing, --csv for spreadsheet export
Add ORDER BY updated DESC to sort by most recent changes
Use --web to open results in your browser
Combine multiple conditions: AND, OR, NOT

For output formats, pagination, field customization, saved filters, and real-world query examples, see references/search-patterns.md.
