fd-read-jira-task

Overview

Use this skill to fully understand a Jira task before planning or implementing anything. It ensures you gather all relevant context including linked issues, comments, and acceptance criteria.

Steps

1. Use the get_issue MCP tool to fetch the issue by key.
2. Extract: summary, description, issue type, priority, status, assignee.
3. Check the description field for acceptance criteria sections.
4. Use search_issues with a JQL like issue in linkedIssues("KEY") to fetch linked issues if needed.
5. Return a structured summary with all extracted information.

Notes

• If the Jira MCP tool is unavailable, report the error and proceed with only the issue key as context.
• Do not modify the Jira issue — this is a read-only skill.
