Triggers: Jira, issues, sprints, tickets, story points
What It Does
Teaches the agent to use the Atlassian CLI (acli) for Jira operations across multiple pods/boards: creating issues with Gherkin acceptance criteria, managing sprints, transitioning work items, searching tickets, and setting story points via the REST API.
Key Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
acli jira createIssue | Create a Jira issue with summary, description, type |
acli jira getIssue | Fetch issue details |
acli jira transitionIssue | Move issue through workflow states |
acli jira addComment | Add a comment to an issue |
Issue Creation Conventions
Acceptance Criteria
Issues use Gherkin format for acceptance criteria:
Given [precondition]
When [action]
Then [expected result]
QA Test Requirements
Each issue includes explicit QA test requirements alongside the acceptance criteria.
Estimation
Story points use the Fibonacci scale and are set via the Jira REST API (the CLI doesn't support custom fields directly).
REST API Fallback
For operations not supported by the CLI (like setting story points or writing ADF-formatted descriptions), the skill falls back to direct Jira REST API calls via curl.
