# Jira

The `robomotion jira` CLI connects to Jira for issue and project management. It creates, reads, updates, and transitions issues; searches with JQL; adds comments; manages projects and issue types — covering the full issue lifecycle.

## When to use
- Create, update, or transition Jira issues through workflow states
- Search issues using JQL queries
- Add comments and manage issue details
- List projects and issue types

## Prerequisites
- `robomotion` CLI installed
- Package installed: `robomotion install jira`
- Jira URL and API token (or OAuth) configured via Robomotion vault

## IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations
Each CLI command runs as a **separate process** — connection IDs from `connect` do NOT persist across calls.
You MUST use `--session` on `connect` and pass `--session-id` to all subsequent commands.

## Workflow
1. Install (once): `robomotion install jira`
2. Connect with session:
   ```
   robomotion jira connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   ```
3. Use the returned `client-id` and `session-id` in all subsequent commands:
   ```
   robomotion jira create_issue --client-id "<client-id>" --project <proj> --summary <text> --issue-type <type> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```
4. Disconnect when done:
   ```
   robomotion jira disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```

**Always** append `--output json` to get structured JSON results.
