SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Jira tickets through the web UI is slow and hard to automate. This Skill lets you create, edit, and view Jira work items directly from the terminal using the acli CLI, with correct handling of rich-text descriptions via Atlassian Document Format (ADF). ## Core Features & Use Cases - View Tickets: Quickly inspect any Jira work item by key, such as DPSCEP-123. - Create Tickets: Create issues with summary, project, type, parent, labels, components, and ADF-formatted descriptions via --from-json. - Edit Tickets: Assign users, add or remove labels, and update descriptions with full ADF rich text including headings, lists, and code blocks. - Use Case: You need to file a bug with formatted reproduction steps and code samples. Build the ADF JSON payload, then run acli jira workitem create --from-json to create a properly formatted ticket in one command. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a Jira ticket in your project with a formatted description using the acli CLI.

Frequently Asked Questions about acli-jira

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Jira ticket from the command line?▼

Use acli jira workitem create --from-json with a JSON file containing summary, projectKey, type, and optional fields like labels, parentIssueId, and components. Descriptions must be provided in Atlassian Document Format within the same JSON payload.

How do I edit a Jira ticket description with formatting?▼

Use acli jira workitem edit --from-json with the issue key and a description field containing ADF JSON. ADF supports headings, paragraphs, bold text, bullet and ordered lists, and code blocks with language attributes.

Why does my Jira description show raw wiki markup as text?▼

The --description flag does not interpret wiki markup, so text like h2. renders literally. Always pass descriptions via --from-json using Atlassian Document Format to get proper rich-text rendering.

Can I add components to an existing Jira ticket?▼

No, components can only be set at creation time through the additionalAttributes field in the create payload. The edit command does not support modifying components on existing work items.

How do I add or remove labels on a Jira issue with acli?▼

Use acli jira workitem edit --from-json with labelsToAdd or labelsToRemove arrays in the JSON payload. The plain labels field is not supported on edit, only on create.
