  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python and curl; needs JIRA_API_TOKEN

What it does

Jira is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Jira Cloud integration for issue management and search. This skill should be used when working with Jira tickets, searching issues with JQL, creating or updating issues, adding comments, or transitioning issue status. Covers REST API v3 and Jira Query Language.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/adf-format.md`, `references/api-endpoints.md` and `references/jql-reference.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. It works with Jira. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve REST APIs

Example prompts

  • “/jira”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in JIRA_API_TOKEN

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get Issue Details
  2. Search with JQL
  3. Create Issue
  4. Update Issue
  5. Add Comment
  6. Transition Issue Status
  7. Assign Issue

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • id.atlassian.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • JIRA_API_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Jira loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 247 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:21
    Set these environment variables (or in `.env` file):

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 247 words (~1,147 tokens).

“This skill enables direct interaction with Jira Cloud via REST API v3 and JQL queries.”
