Jira Communication
CLI scripts via uv run. All support --help, --json, --quiet, --debug.
Auto-Trigger
On Jira URL or issue key (PROJ-123) → run jira-issue.py get. Auth issues → jira-setup.py.
Scripts
Under ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/{core,workflow,utility}/.
Core: jira-issue.py, jira-search.py, jira-worklog.py, jira-attachment.py, jira-setup.py, jira-validate.py
Workflow: jira-create.py, jira-transition.py, jira-comment.py, jira-move.py, jira-sprint.py, jira-board.py, jira-version.py
Utility: jira-user.py, jira-fields.py, jira-link.py, jira-weblink.py, jira-worklog-query.py, jira-watchers.py, jira-qa-gather.py
Execution Style
Run directly. Scripts report ✓/✗. Destructive ops: --dry-run. Global flags before subcommand: jira-issue.py --json get PROJ-123.

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/core/jira-issue.py get PROJ-123
