Atlassian Skills

Python utilities for Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket integration, supporting both Cloud and Data Center deployments.

Configuration

Two configuration modes are supported:

Mode 1: Environment Variables (Traditional)

Set environment variables based on your deployment type. This mode is used when credentials parameter is not provided to skill functions.

Cloud (API Token)

# Jira Cloud
JIRA_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net
JIRA_USERNAME=[e-mail]
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

# Confluence Cloud
CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki
CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=[e-mail]
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

Generate API tokens at: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Data Center / Server (PAT Token)

# Jira Data Center
JIRA_URL=https://jira.your-company.com
JIRA_PAT_TOKEN=your_pat_token

# Confluence Data Center
CONFLUENCE_URL=https://confluence.your-company.com
CONFLUENCE_PAT_TOKEN=your_pat_token

# Bitbucket Server/Data Center
BITBUCKET_URL=https://bitbucket.your-company.com
BITBUCKET_PAT_TOKEN=your_pat_token

Note: PAT Token takes precedence if both are provided.

Mode 2: Parameter-Based (Agent Environments)

When deploying skills in Agent environments where environment variables are not available, pass credentials directly to skill functions using the AtlassianCredentials object.

from scripts._common import AtlassianCredentials, check_available_skills
from scripts.jira_issues import jira_create_issue, jira_get_issue

# Create credentials object
credentials = AtlassianCredentials(
    # Jira configuration
    jira_url="https://your-company.atlassian.net",
    jira_username="[e-mail]",
    jira_api_token="your_api_token",
    
    # Confluence configuration (optional)
    confluence_url="https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki",
    confluence_username="[e-mail]",
    confluence_api_token="your_api_token",
    
    # Bitbucket configuration (optional)
    # bitbucket_url="https://bitbucket.your-company.com",
    # bitbucket_pat_token="your_pat_token"
)

# Check which services are available
availability = check_available_skills(credentials)
print(availability["available_services"])  # ["jira", "confluence"]
print(availability["unavailable_services"])  # {"bitbucket": "Missing bitbucket_url"}

# Use skills with credentials parameter
result = jira_create_issue(
    project_key="PROJ",
    summary="New task",
    issue_type="Task",
    credentials=credentials  # Pass credentials here
)

Partial Service Configuration

You can configure only the services you need. Services without complete credentials will be unavailable:

# Only configure Jira
credentials = AtlassianCredentials(
    jira_url="https://your-company.atlassian.net",
    jira_username="[e-mail]",
    jira_api_token="your_api_token"
)

# Jira skills will work
jira_get_issue("PROJ-123", credentials=credentials)  # ✓ Works

# Confluence/Bitbucket skills will fail with ConfigurationError
confluence_get_page("Page Title", "SPACE", credentials=credentials)  # ✗ Fails

Credentials Object Fields

AtlassianCredentials(
    # Jira
    jira_url: Optional[str] = None,
    jira_username: Optional[str] = None,
    jira_api_token: Optional[str] = None,
    jira_pat_token: Optional[str] = None,
    jira_api_version: Optional[str] = None,  # '2' or '3', auto-detected if not set
    jira_ssl_verify: bool = False,
    
    # Confluence
    confluence_url: Optional[str] = None,
    confluence_username: Optional[str] = None,
    confluence_api_token: Optional[str] = None,
    confluence_pat_token: Optional[str] = None,
    confluence_api_version: Optional[str] = None,
    confluence_ssl_verify: bool = False,
    
    # Bitbucket
    bitbucket_url: Optional[str] = None,
    bitbucket_username: Optional[str] = None,
    bitbucket_api_token: Optional[str] = None,
    bitbucket_pat_token: Optional[str] = None,
    bitbucket_api_version: Optional[str] = None,
    bitbucket_ssl_verify: bool = False
)

For each service, provide either:

• PAT Token (for Data Center/Server): {service}_pat_token
• Username + API Token (for Cloud): {service}_username + {service}_api_token

Core Workflow

Using Environment Variables

from scripts.jira_issues import jira_create_issue, jira_get_issue
from scripts.confluence_pages import confluence_create_page
import json

# 1. Create a Jira issue
result = jira_create_issue(
    project_key="PROJ",
    summary="Implement new feature",
    issue_type="Task",
    description="Feature description here",
    priority="High"
)
issue = json.loads(result)
print(f"Created: {issue['key']}")

# 2. Get issue details
result = jira_get_issue(issue_key="PROJ-123")
issue = json.loads(result)

# 3. Create a Confluence page
result = confluence_create_page(
    space_key="DEV",
    title="Feature Documentation",
    content="<p>Documentation content here</p>"
)

Using Credentials Parameter (Agent Mode)

from scripts._common import AtlassianCredentials
from scripts.jira_issues import jira_create_issue, jira_get_issue
from scripts.confluence_pages import confluence_create_page
import json

# Create credentials
credentials = AtlassianCredentials(
    jira_url="https://company.atlassian.net",
    jira_username="[e-mail]",
    jira_api_token="token123",
    confluence_url="https://company.atlassian.net/wiki",
    confluence_username="[e-mail]",
    confluence_api_token="token123"
)

# 1. Create a Jira issue with credentials
result = jira_create_issue(
    project_key="PROJ",
    summary="Implement new feature",
    issue_type="Task",
    description="Feature description here",
    priority="High",
    credentials=credentials  # Pass credentials
)
issue = json.loads(result)
print(f"Created: {issue['key']}")

# 2. Get issue details with credentials
result = jira_get_issue(
    issue_key="PROJ-123",
    credentials=credentials
)
issue = json.loads(result)

# 3. Create a Confluence page with credentials
result = confluence_create_page(
    space_key="DEV",
    title="Feature Documentation",
    content="<p>Documentation content here</p>",
    credentials=credentials
)

Function Signature Pattern

All skill functions follow this signature pattern:

def skill_function(
    required_param1: str,
    required_param2: str,
    optional_param: Optional[str] = None,
    credentials: Optional[AtlassianCredentials] = None  # Always last parameter
) -> str:
    """Function description.
    
    Args:
        required_param1: Description
        required_param2: Description
        optional_param: Description (optional)
        credentials: Optional AtlassianCredentials for Agent environments.
                    If not provided, uses environment variables.
    
    Returns:
        JSON string with result or error information
    """

The credentials parameter is:

• Optional: If not provided, configuration loads from environment variables
• Always the last parameter: Maintains consistent function signatures
• Backward compatible: Existing code without credentials parameter continues to work

Response Data Structures

All functions return JSON strings with flattened data structures (not nested API responses).

Jira Issue Structure

{
  "key": "PROJ-123",
  "id": "10001",
  "summary": "Issue title",
  "description": "Issue description",
  "status": "In Progress",
  "issue_type": "Task",
  "priority": "High",
  "assignee": "[e-mail]",
  "reporter": "[e-mail]",
  "created": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000+0000",
  "updated": "2024-01-16T14:20:00.000+0000",
  "labels": ["backend", "urgent"],
  "components": ["API", "Auth"],
  "custom_fields": {}
}

Confluence Page Structure

{
  "id": "12345",
  "title": "Page Title",
  "space_key": "DEV",
  "status": "current",
  "created": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
  "updated": "2024-01-16T14:20:00.000Z",
  "author": "[e-mail]",
  "version": 3,
  "url": "https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEV/pages/12345"
}

Note: These are simplified structures. The original Jira API returns nested data like {"key": "...", "fields": {"summary": "...", "status": {"name": "..."}}}, but this skill flattens it for easier use.

Error Handling

All functions return JSON strings. Check for errors:

import json

result = jira_get_issue(issue_key="PROJ-999")
data = json.loads(result)

if not data.get("success", True):
    print(f"Error: {data['error']}")
    print(f"Type: {data['error_type']}")
else:
    print(f"Issue: {data['key']}")

Error Types

• ConfigurationError - Missing environment variables
• AuthenticationError - Invalid credentials
• ValidationError - Invalid input parameters
• NotFoundError - Resource not found
• APIError - Atlassian API error
• NetworkError - Connection issues

Philosophy

This skill provides:

• Utilities: Ready-to-use functions for common Atlassian operations
• Flexibility: Support for both Cloud and Data Center deployments
• Dual Configuration: Environment variables OR parameter-based credentials
• Agent-Ready: Works in environments without environment variable access
• Consistency: Unified error handling and response format
• Backward Compatible: Existing code continues to work without changes

It does NOT provide:

• Direct API access (use the provided functions instead)
• Webhook handling or event processing
• Bulk import/export operations

Best practices:

• Always check return values for errors
• Use JQL/CQL for efficient searching
• Batch operations when possible to reduce API calls
• In Agent environments, check service availability before calling skills:

  availability = check_available_skills(credentials)
  if "jira" in availability["available_services"]:
      result = jira_get_issue("PROJ-123", credentials=credentials)
