| 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.
Jira CLI
Command-line interface for Jira. Always use --plain flag when available for scriptable, parseable output.
Default Project
Primary project: MDBIM. Override with -p PROJECT for other projects.
