SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of manually searching, naming, and maintaining relationships between Jira issues so you can link work reliably and avoid inconsistent link setups.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List supported link types so you can pick the exact casing Jira expects.
  • Add links (blocks, relates, duplicates, etc.) between an outward issue and an inward issue, optionally with a comment.
  • Delete links by link ID retrieved from an issue’s details.

Use case example: You review two issues and need to mark one as the duplicate of the other while confirming the correct link type name and then validating the result on the target issue.

Quick Start

Ask for link types first if you are unsure of the exact name, then add the relationship using the outward and inward issue keys.

Frequently Asked Questions about link

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a blocker or duplicate link between Jira issues from the command line?▼

To create Jira issue links from the command line, you use the outward and inward issue keys with the exact link type name, optionally adding a comment to establish relationships like blocks or duplicates.

What Jira link types are supported for connecting issues during release triage?▼

Supported Jira link types for release triage can be identified by listing available options first, which ensures you apply the exact casing Jira expects before creating blocker, duplicate, or related relationships.

How do I safely delete an incorrect Jira issue link during workflow cleanup?▼

To safely delete an incorrect Jira issue link during cleanup, you must retrieve the specific link ID from the issue's details first, then execute a command to remove that link ID.

What is the difference between inward and outward issue keys when mapping dependencies in Jira?▼

In Jira dependency mapping, outward and inward issue keys define the directional semantics of the relationship, determining which issue acts as the source and which is the target for links like blocks.

How do I list existing Jira issue links to validate relationships before triage?▼

You can list existing Jira issue links to validate relationships before triage by running Jira CLI commands that retrieve an issue's details, exposing its current connections and link IDs.

Why does my Jira issue link creation fail when I use the wrong link type casing?▼

Jira issue link creation fails with incorrect link type casing because Jira requires an exact match for the link type name, making it necessary to list supported types before executing the command.
