SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Jira work items requires constant context switching between your editor and the Jira web UI, and manually breaking down design docs into well-formed issues is slow and inconsistent. This Skill brings unified Jira operations into the agent workflow with enforced human approval on every write. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Issue breakdown and creation: Convert design docs, epics, or feature briefs into structured Stories, Tasks, Bugs, and Spikes with acceptance criteria, story points, and dependency ordering, presented for review before anything is created. - Search and inspection: Run text or JQL searches, fetch full issue details, and view sprint or board overviews with point totals. - Updates and linking: Transition statuses, edit fields, add comments, and create issue links, with every write hard-gated behind explicit per-action human approval. - Use Case: Paste a feature brief and ask for a Jira breakdown; the Skill generates an epic plus sprint-sized issues in a summary table, waits for your approval, then creates and links them via the Atlassian MCP server. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to break down your design document into Jira issues with /jira create path/to/design-doc.md, review the generated table, and approve to create them.

Frequently Asked Questions about jira

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create Jira issues from a design doc?▼

Run /jira create with the path to your design doc, epic description, or feature brief. The Skill generates typed issues with acceptance criteria, story points, and dependencies, shows them in a review table, and only creates them after your explicit approval.

How do I search Jira issues with JQL from the agent?▼

Use /jira search followed by a JQL query or plain text. Input containing JQL syntax like =, AND, or ORDER BY is passed directly to jira_search; otherwise a text search query is built automatically and results are shown in a table.

Does this Jira skill require approval before making changes?▼

Yes, every write operation such as create, edit, transition, assign, label, link, or comment requires explicit per-action human approval showing the exact change. Reads like search, sprint, and board are ungated, and deleting issues is never permitted.

What MCP tools does the Jira skill need?▼

It uses the mcp-atlassian MCP server tools including jira_create_issue, jira_search, jira_get_issue, jira_update_issue, jira_transition_issue, jira_add_comment, and the agile board tools. The Atlassian MCP server must be configured in your agent host.

Can the Jira skill delete issues?▼

No, deleting Jira issues is explicitly forbidden with no flag, approval path, or exception. The Skill instructs archiving issues instead when removal is needed.
