SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents your main AI assistant from getting bogged down with complex Jira API details, which bloats context, increases costs, and reduces focus. It delegates specialized Jira queries to a sub-agent, ensuring your primary AI remains efficient and cost-effective.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Jira Issue Management: View, search, comment on, and create Jira issues.
  • Personalized Task Tracking: Quickly see all Jira issues assigned to you.
  • Context-Aware Search: Find issues by keywords, status, or assignee with intelligent filtering.
  • Use Case: When a user asks to "create a Jira for log reduction work", this Skill automatically delegates the task to a specialized sub-agent, which executes the necessary issuetracker-create command and returns the new issue key, without exposing complex API details to the main AI.

Quick Start

Example: Delegating a Jira query

Task( subagent_type: "general-purpose", description: "Query Acme Jira", prompt: "<full agent instructions from AGENT-INSTRUCTIONS.md>

USER REQUEST: Show me my open Jira issues

Return clean, formatted results ready to show the user." )
