What it does
Jira Expert is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Jira expert for project setup, workflow design, JQL queries, custom fields, automation rules, dashboards, and reporting. Use for Jira configuration, advanced search, board and dashboard creation, and technical Jira operations.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `examples/acme-50-person-eng-setup.md`, `references/automation-examples.md` and `references/jira-playbook.md`).
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. It works with Jira. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Jira configuration
- Advanced search
- Board and dashboard creation
- Technical Jira operations
Example prompts
- “/jira-expert”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
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):
support.atlassian.comjirareleases.atlassian.comatlassian.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Jira Expert loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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.

Atlassian Jira Expert
Master-level expertise in Jira configuration, project management, JQL, workflows, automation, and reporting. Handles all technical and operational aspects of Jira.
Terminology (Jira Cloud, as of September 2026): Jira "projects" are now called spaces and "issues" work items in the UI -- a naming change only (announcement). Existing JQL keeps working, and if a new term is not yet accepted in JQL, use the old one (
project,issuetype) (JQL fields); REST paths are unchanged (/rest/api/3/project). Advanced Roadmaps is now Plans (Jira Premium and Enterprise, docs). This skill uses "project" and "space" interchangeably.
Core Capabilities
- Project configuration — create Scrum/Kanban/custom projects, design custom workflows, configure issue types/fields/screens, set permission and security schemes
- JQL mastery — author advanced queries, build complex filters, optimize query performance, create saved filters for teams
- Automation & integration — design automation rules, configure webhooks and notifications, integrate Confluence/Slack/external tools
- Reporting & dashboards — custom dashboards with gadgets, sprint/velocity/burndown reports, portfolio-level and executive reporting
When to Use
- Setting up a new project and its workflow, fields, and board
- Writing or debugging JQL for filters, reports, or dashboards
- Designing automation rules and avoiding trigger loops
- Building dashboards and configuring gadgets for a team or exec
- Managing custom fields, issue links, security levels, or bulk operations
References
Load the reference that matches the task — keep this file lean and pull detail on demand:
- references/jira-playbook.md — full detail behind this map: competencies, workflows (project creation, workflow design, dashboards, automation), JQL operators/functions, advanced features (custom fields, linking, security, bulk ops), reporting templates, decision/handoff protocols, best practices, troubleshooting table, and success criteria. Read when executing any Jira task.
- references/jql-examples.md — extended library of ready-to-run JQL queries grouped by use case (sprints, and more). Read when you need a specific query pattern fast.
- references/automation-examples.md — concrete Jira automation rule recipes (auto-assignment, and more) with triggers/conditions/actions. Read when building or troubleshooting automation rules.
- references/red-flags.md — common ways a Jira configuration, JQL query, automation rule, or dashboard goes wrong, with bad/good examples. Read before shipping any change to a team.

Scope & Limitations
In Scope: Jira project creation and configuration, workflow design and implementation, JQL query authoring and optimization, automation rule design, dashboard and reporting setup, custom field management, board configuration, bulk operations, issue linking strategies.
Out of Scope: Org-wide Atlassian administration (hand off to atlassian-admin/), Confluence space management (hand off to confluence-expert/), sprint execution and team coaching (hand off to scrum-master/), strategic project prioritization (hand off to senior-pm/).
Limitations: Jira Cloud automation is metered as usage-based automation steps, with per-plan allowances pooled at the organization level (usage, as of September 2026). Jira Data Center reaches end of life on 28 Mar 2029 (no new/expanded DC licenses after 30 Mar 2028) -- see atlassian-admin/ and Atlassian's DC end-of-life page. Complex JQL on large instances (>100K issues) may hit performance ceilings. Workflow changes to active projects require careful migration planning -- retroactive changes do not apply to in-flight issues.
Integration Points
| Integration | Direction | What Flows |
|---|---|---|
atlassian-admin/ | Admin -> Jira | Global schemes, permission templates, user provisioning |
scrum-master/ | SM -> Jira | Sprint board configuration requests, velocity report needs |
senior-pm/ | PM -> Jira | Portfolio-level reporting requirements, cross-project dashboards |
confluence-expert/ | Bidirectional | Jira macros embedded in Confluence pages; documentation links in issue descriptions |
atlassian-templates/ | Templates -> Jira | Issue description templates, workflow documentation |
delivery-manager/ | DM -> Jira | Release version management, deployment tracking fields |
