jira-workflow

What problem does it solve?

Managing the entire lifecycle of a Jira issue, from initial proposal and user approval to creation, status transitions, and final updates, involves many manual steps. This skill automates the end-to-end workflow, ensuring consistency, reducing manual overhead, and keeping Jira synchronized with actual work progress, so you can rest assured your project is on track.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Approval-Based Creation: Propose Jira stories in SAFe format, get user approval, and then automatically create issues and subtasks, ensuring alignment before work begins.
• Lifecycle Transitions: Seamlessly move issues through custom workflow states (e.g., "To Do", "Progressing", "Done"), reflecting real-time progress without manual clicks.
• Automated Updates: Add detailed implementation comments, including modified files and commits, upon task completion, providing a comprehensive audit trail.
• Integration with AI Tools: Designed to sync with AI orchestration tools (like Claude Code's TodoWrite) for real-time status updates, creating a cohesive development environment.
• Use Case: An AI agent is tasked with implementing a new feature. It uses this skill to propose a detailed Jira story, gets user approval, creates the story, transitions it to "Progressing" as it works, and finally transitions it to "Done" with a summary of its work, all automatically.

Quick Start

Use the jira-workflow skill to propose a new Story for "Implement user login" with acceptance criteria "GIVEN user is on login page WHEN enters valid credentials THEN user is logged in". Ask the user for approval before creating.
