jira-expertAtlassian Jira expert for creating and managing projects, planning, product discovery, JQL queries, workflows, custom fields, automation, reporting, and all Jira features.
Jira Expert is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Atlassian Jira expert for creating and managing projects, planning, product discovery, JQL queries, workflows, custom fields, automation, reporting, and all Jira features. Use when setting up or configuring Jira projects, writing JQL and advanced searches, creating dashboards, designing workflows, or performing technical Jira operations.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/AUTOMATION.md`, `references/WORKFLOWS.md` and `references/automation-examples.md`).
It sits in Product & Project Management. It works with Jira and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Jira Expert loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,261 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

This skill also uses 6 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Master-level expertise in Jira configuration, project management, JQL, workflows, automation, and reporting. Handles all technical and operational aspects of Jira.
All MCP examples in this skill use the real Atlassian Remote MCP tools (camelCase, surfaced as mcp__atlassian__<toolName>). The canonical tool list is project-management/references/atlassian-mcp-tools.md — never invent tool names; if a capability isn't listed there, it is not available via MCP.
Create an issue (call getAccessibleAtlassianResources once first to obtain cloudId):
mcp__atlassian__createJiraIssue (cloudId, projectKey="MYPROJ", issueTypeName="Story", summary="My new story")Run a JQL query (build the JQL from natural language with the bundled script, then execute):
python3 scripts/jql_query_builder.py "high priority bugs assigned to me"
# → emits validated JQL, e.g.: assignee = currentUser() AND type = Bug AND status != Donemcp__atlassian__searchJiraIssuesUsingJql (cloudId, jql="project = MYPROJ AND status != Done AND dueDate < now()")Create a project: NOT available via MCP. Use the Jira web UI (Projects > Create project) or REST API (POST /rest/api/3/project).
For the full tool reference, see Atlassian MCP Integration. For JQL functions, see JQL Functions Reference. For report templates, see Reporting Templates.
Project creation is not available via MCP — perform steps 2-6 in the Jira web UI (
Projects > Create project) or via REST API (POST /rest/api/3/project). After creation, verify visibility withmcp__atlassian__getVisibleJiraProjectsand inspect issue types withmcp__atlassian__getJiraProjectIssueTypesMetadata.
Workflow/scheme editing is not available via MCP — configure in
Jira Settings > Issues > Workflows. Use the bundled validator to catch anti-patterns before deploying.
python3 scripts/workflow_validator.py workflow.json --format jsonstates and transitions. Consume the output: fix every reported anti-pattern (dead-end states, unreachable states, missing transitions) in the design before touching Jira.mcp__atlassian__getTransitionsForJiraIssue on a sample issue to confirm expected transitions surface, then mcp__atlassian__transitionJiraIssue to walk it through the flowStart with the bundled builder — it pattern-matches natural language to validated JQL:
python3 scripts/jql_query_builder.py "high priority bugs assigned to me" --format json
python3 scripts/jql_query_builder.py --patterns # list all supported query patternsConsume the output: take the jql field from the JSON result (or the GENERATED JQL block in text mode) and execute it with mcp__atlassian__searchJiraIssuesUsingJql (cloudId, jql=<generated>). If the builder reports no pattern match, compose JQL manually using the reference below.
Basic Structure: field operator value
Common Operators:

Find overdue issues:
dueDate < now() AND status != DoneSprint burndown issues:
sprint = 23 AND status changed TO "Done" DURING (startOfSprint(), endOfSprint())Find stale issues:
updated < -30d AND status != DoneCross-project epic tracking:
"Epic Link" = PROJ-123 ORDER BY rankVelocity calculation:
sprint in closedSprints() AND resolution = DoneTeam capacity:

Security Levels:
Bulk Change:
Bulk Transitions:
Tip: Save frequently used queries as named filters instead of re-running complex JQL ad hoc. See Best Practices for performance guidance.
Date: startOfDay(), endOfDay(), startOfWeek(), endOfWeek(), startOfMonth(), endOfMonth(), startOfYear(), endOfYear()
Sprint: openSprints(), closedSprints(), futureSprints()
User: currentUser(), membersOf("group")
Advanced: issueHistory(), linkedIssues(), issuesWithFixVersions()
Tip: These JQL snippets can be saved as shared filters or wired directly into Dashboard gadgets (see Dashboard Creation).
| Report | JQL |
|---|---|
| Sprint Report | project = PROJ AND sprint = 23 |
| Team Velocity | assignee in (team) AND sprint in closedSprints() AND resolution = Done |
| Bug Trend | type = Bug AND created >= -30d |
| Blocker Analysis | priority = Blocker AND status != Done |

Primary Tool: Atlassian Remote MCP server (bundled .mcp.json, server key atlassian). Tools surface as mcp__atlassian__<toolName>. Canonical tool list: project-management/references/atlassian-mcp-tools.md. Never invent tool names — if a capability isn't in that list, route to the web UI/REST API.
Key Operations with Example Calls (obtain cloudId once via mcp__atlassian__getAccessibleAtlassianResources):
Create an issue (check required fields first with getJiraIssueTypeMetaWithFields):
mcp__atlassian__createJiraIssue (cloudId, projectKey="MYPROJ", issueTypeName="Story", summary="My new story")Execute a JQL query:
mcp__atlassian__searchJiraIssuesUsingJql (cloudId, jql="project = MYPROJ AND status != Done AND dueDate < now()")Update an issue field:
mcp__atlassian__editJiraIssue (cloudId, issueIdOrKey="MYPROJ-42", fields=<payload — discover via tool schema>)Transition an issue (status changes go through transitions, not field edits):
mcp__atlassian__getTransitionsForJiraIssue (cloudId, issueIdOrKey="MYPROJ-42")
mcp__atlassian__transitionJiraIssue (cloudId, issueIdOrKey="MYPROJ-42", transition=<id from previous call>)Comment / log work / link issues:

Atlassian Jira expert for creating and managing projects, planning, product discovery, JQL queries, workflows, custom fields, automation, reporting, and all Jira features. Jira Expert is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Atlassian Jira expert for creating and managing projects, planning, product discovery, JQL queries, workflows, custom fields, automation, reporting, and all Jira features.
Jira Expert fits situations like: configuring Jira projects; writing JQL and advanced searches; creating dashboards; designing workflows.
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill jira-expert -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (project-management/skills/jira-expert in alirezarezvani/claude-skills) into .claude/skills/jira-expert in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill jira-expert -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (project-management/skills/jira-expert in alirezarezvani/claude-skills) into .agents/skills/jira-expert in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill jira-expert -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/jira-expert, .gemini/skills/jira-expert, .github/skills/jira-expert and .opencode/skills/jira-expert in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Jira Expert needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Jira Expert is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 3.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 13k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 8.3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
