acli-jira

Use this skill when fetching, inspecting, or summarizing Jira tickets with acli.

Core commands

• View ticket: acli jira workitem view <KEY>
• JSON output: acli jira workitem view <KEY> --json
• Minimal fields: acli jira workitem view <KEY> --json --fields "summary,status,assignee,description"
• Full fields (only when needed): acli jira workitem view <KEY> --json --fields "*all"
• If key is unknown: acli jira workitem search ...

Rules

• Use acli jira workitem ... for Jira tickets.
• Do not use acli issue ... in this environment.
• Default to minimal fields first; use *all only for deep metadata (for example linked PR data).

Failure handling

1. Verify command surface if unsure:
   • acli --help
   • acli jira --help
   • acli jira workitem --help
2. Check auth when commands fail:
   • acli jira auth status
3. If permissions are insufficient, report the exact error and continue with available data.

Suggested workflow

1. Fetch concise ticket details first.
2. Expand to JSON with minimal fields if structured parsing is needed.
3. Use *all only when deep links/metadata are required (then pivot to gh for PR details).
