FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an Atlassian API token for Jira and Confluence access?▼

To set up an Atlassian API token, create a token in your Atlassian account, then save your ATLASSIAN_EMAIL and ATLASSIAN_TOKEN to the ~/.fe-skills/.env file with restricted file permissions to enable secure CLI and scripted Jira and Confluence access.

Why does my Atlassian API token return a 401 error?▼

An Atlassian API token returns a 401 error due to incorrect credentials, wrong instance URL, or insufficient account scopes. Verify your ATLASSIAN_EMAIL and ATLASSIAN_TOKEN in ~/.fe-skills/.env and ensure your token has the required permissions for Jira and Confluence.

Do I need jira-cli to interact with Jira tickets from the terminal?▼

You do not need jira-cli to interact with Jira tickets as it is an optional dependency for ad-hoc terminal use. The core setup only requires an Atlassian email and API token stored in ~/.fe-skills/.env to enable scripted tool access.

Can I configure credentials for specific Atlassian instances like W&B and CoreWeave?▼

You can configure credentials for specific Atlassian instances like W&B and CoreWeave by storing your ATLASSIAN_EMAIL and ATLASSIAN_TOKEN in the ~/.fe-skills/.env file, which validates access to those specific Jira and Confluence instances during ticketing workflows.

What is the best way to securely store Atlassian API credentials for automation?▼

The best way to securely store Atlassian API credentials for automation is saving the ATLASSIAN_EMAIL and ATLASSIAN_TOKEN variables in the ~/.fe-skills/.env file with restricted file permissions, preventing unauthorized access during scripted ticketing and documentation workflows.
