jira-cli

name	jira-cli
description	Use when querying or automating Jira - sprints, issues, epics, stories, boards, or correlating Jira data with external systems

CRITICAL: You MUST use the Task tool with subagent_type: "general" to execute Jira CLI commands. NEVER run jira commands directly in your bash session.

Example Task invocation:

Task(subagent_type="general", prompt="Use jira CLI to list current sprint issues: jira sprint list --current --plain")

This preserves conversation context and isolates CLI output.
