jira-plugin

Use when a project's workflow statuses need to be configured for the first time, or refreshed. Triggered automatically by jira-progress when a project is missing from config/workflows.json, or manually via "configure workflow", "set up statuses for X", "refresh workflow for X".

Use when needing to understand a Jira ticket before acting on it — pulling context for an agent, reviewing a ticket's full picture, loading ticket details for decision-making, or when asked to "show me" or "what's in" a ticket.

Use when the user assigns a ticket to the agent, says "work on this ticket", "pick up this item", or wants the agent to claim a ticket and execute against it. Procedural harness that wraps any work with Jira discipline.

Use when the user has a spec, architecture doc, implementation plan, or feature description and wants to break it into Jira tickets for distribution to people or agents. Also triggered by "create tickets from this plan" or "file tickets for this spec".

Use when work on a ticket has reached a stage boundary — started working, sent for review, completed, blocked, or reopened. Handles status transition, comment, and field updates in one pass.

Use when the user mentions Jira, issues, tickets, sprints, work items, or any project management task involving Atlassian. Routes to workflow skills or delegates to jira-agent subagent.

Use acli jira CLI for Jira work item management, project operations, sprint tracking, and board management with JQL search capabilities. Load this skill for ad-hoc Jira operations not covered by workflow skills, or when you need detailed ACLI command reference.
