Jira Management Skill

This skill provides Jira integration for searching, viewing, creating, and managing issues. Read operations execute automatically. Write operations require explicit user confirmation.

Quick Reference

Atlassian MCP Tools Available

READ Operations (Automatic - No Confirmation Needed):

WRITE Operations (Confirmation Required):

Configuration Management

First-Run Setup

On first use, check for configuration at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/config.json:

If config exists: Load and use cached user information for JQL queries.

If config missing: Use AskUserQuestion to ask:

"I don't have your Atlassian user info cached. Should I fetch and save it to speed up future queries?"

If confirmed, use atlassian/atlassianUserInfo to fetch details and write to config file.

Config Structure

{
  "atlassian": {
    "account_id": "...",
    "email": "...",
    "name": "...",
    "nickname": "...",
    "locale": "..."
  },
  "defaults": {
    "project_key": "..."
  }
}

Core Workflows

Searching Issues

For any search request, build appropriate JQL and use atlassian/searchJiraIssuesUsingJql:

# Find user's assigned tickets
assignee = currentUser() ORDER BY updated DESC

# Find tickets by status
project = PROJ AND status = "In Progress"

# Find recent tickets
project = PROJ AND updated >= -7d ORDER BY updated DESC

Viewing Issue Details

Use atlassian/getJiraIssue with the issue key. Present results clearly:

• Summary and Description
• Status, Priority, Type
• Assignee and Reporter
• Labels and Components
• Created and Updated dates

Creating Issues (Confirmation Required)

Before calling atlassian/createJiraIssue, use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Create this Jira issue?"
Options:
  - "Yes, create it" - Proceed with creation
  - "Edit details first" - Let user modify before creating
  - "Cancel" - Abort the operation

Show the issue details being created:

• Project, Issue Type, Summary
• Description (if provided)
• Priority, Labels, Assignee (if specified)

Updating Issues (Confirmation Required)

Before calling atlassian/editJiraIssue, use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Update [ISSUE-KEY]?"
Options:
  - "Yes, update it" - Proceed with update
  - "Show current values first" - Fetch and display current state
  - "Cancel" - Abort the operation

Transitioning Issues (Confirmation Required)

1. First, use atlassian/getTransitionsForJiraIssue to get available transitions
2. Present options to user
3. Before calling atlassian/transitionJiraIssue, use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Move [ISSUE-KEY] from [current-status] to [new-status]?"
Options:
  - "Yes, transition it" - Proceed with transition
  - "Choose different status" - Show other available transitions
  - "Cancel" - Abort the operation

Adding Comments (Confirmation Required)

Before calling atlassian/addCommentToJiraIssue, use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Add this comment to [ISSUE-KEY]?"
Options:
  - "Yes, add comment" - Proceed
  - "Edit comment first" - Let user modify
  - "Cancel" - Abort

Show the comment text being added.

Write Operation Confirmation Pattern

CRITICAL: For ALL write operations, follow this pattern:

1. Prepare - Gather all necessary information
2. Preview - Show user exactly what will happen
3. Confirm - Use AskUserQuestion with clear options
4. Execute - Only proceed if user confirms
5. Report - Confirm success or explain failure

Example confirmation flow:

I'm ready to create this issue:

**Project:** PROJ
**Type:** Bug
**Summary:** Login button not responding on mobile
**Priority:** High

[Use AskUserQuestion to confirm]

Common JQL Patterns

-- My open tickets
assignee = currentUser() AND status != Done ORDER BY priority DESC

-- Recently updated in project
project = PROJ AND updated >= -7d ORDER BY updated DESC

-- High priority bugs
project = PROJ AND type = Bug AND priority in (High, Highest)

-- Tickets in sprint
project = PROJ AND sprint in openSprints()

-- Tickets I created
reporter = currentUser() ORDER BY created DESC

-- Unassigned tickets
project = PROJ AND assignee is EMPTY

-- Tickets with specific label
project = PROJ AND labels = "needs-review"

Error Handling

Authentication errors: Guide user to check Atlassian MCP server configuration.

Permission errors: Explain required permissions and suggest contacting Jira admin.

Not found errors: Verify issue key format and project access.

Validation errors: Show which fields failed validation and expected formats.
