SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Integrates Jira ticket retrieval, analysis, and updates into an AI-driven development workflow so users can quickly understand requirements, add progress comments, and transition issue state without manually switching tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fetch and Summarize Tickets: Retrieve full issue details and extract acceptance criteria, testable requirements, and dependencies.
  • Update and Comment: Add progress comments, link branches/PRs, and post structured status updates.
  • Transition and Search: Query by JQL, list sprint issues, and perform workflow transitions (with guidance to fetch available transitions first).
  • Dual Modes: Works with an MCP-based mcp-atlassian server for tool-driven calls or via the Jira REST API v3 for direct curl/script interactions.
  • Security Guidance: Emphasizes environment-based credentials, token rotation, and fail-fast checks for missing credentials.

Quick Start

Use the jira-integration skill to fetch PROJ-1234, summarize acceptance criteria, and prepare a test plan.
