What it does

Jira Automation is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Automate Jira tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): issues, projects, sprints, boards, comments, users. Always search tools first for current schemas.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering App automation through connectors. It works with Jira and Composio. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve App automation through connectors

Example prompts

  • “/jira-automation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Search and Filter Issues
  2. Create and Edit Issues
  3. Manage Sprints and Boards
  4. Manage Comments
  5. Manage Projects and Users

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79182c5. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • rube.app

    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 Automation loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 810 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Jira Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Jira operations through Composio's Jira toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active Jira connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit jira
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit jira
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Jira OAuth
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Search and Filter Issues

When to use: User wants to find issues using JQL or browse project issues

Tool sequence:

  1. JIRA_SEARCH_FOR_ISSUES_USING_JQL_POST - Search with JQL query [Required]
  2. JIRA_GET_ISSUE - Get full details of a specific issue [Optional]

Key parameters:

  • jql: JQL query string (e.g., project = PROJ AND status = "In Progress")
  • maxResults: Max results per page (default 50, max 100)
  • startAt: Pagination offset
  • fields: Array of field names to return
  • issueIdOrKey: Issue key like 'PROJ-123' for GET_ISSUE

Pitfalls:

  • JQL field names are case-sensitive and must match Jira configuration
  • Custom fields use IDs like customfield_10001, not display names
  • Results are paginated; check total vs startAt + maxResults to continue
2. Create and Edit Issues

When to use: User wants to create new issues or update existing ones

Tool sequence:

  1. JIRA_GET_ALL_PROJECTS - List projects to find project key [Prerequisite]
  2. JIRA_GET_FIELDS - Get available fields and their IDs [Prerequisite]
  3. JIRA_CREATE_ISSUE - Create a new issue [Required]
  4. JIRA_EDIT_ISSUE - Update fields on an existing issue [Optional]
  5. JIRA_ASSIGN_ISSUE - Assign issue to a user [Optional]

Key parameters:

  • project: Project key (e.g., 'PROJ')
  • issuetype: Issue type name (e.g., 'Bug', 'Story', 'Task')
  • summary: Issue title
  • description: Issue description (Atlassian Document Format or plain text)
  • issueIdOrKey: Issue key for edits

Pitfalls:

  • Issue types and required fields vary by project; use GET_FIELDS to check
  • Custom fields require exact field IDs, not display names
  • Description may need Atlassian Document Format (ADF) for rich content
3. Manage Sprints and Boards

When to use: User wants to work with agile boards, sprints, and backlogs

Tool sequence:

  1. JIRA_LIST_BOARDS - List all boards [Prerequisite]
  2. JIRA_LIST_SPRINTS - List sprints for a board [Required]
  3. JIRA_MOVE_ISSUE_TO_SPRINT - Move issue to a sprint [Optional]
  4. JIRA_CREATE_SPRINT - Create a new sprint [Optional]

Key parameters:

  • boardId: Board ID from LIST_BOARDS
  • sprintId: Sprint ID for move operations
  • name: Sprint name for creation
  • startDate/endDate: Sprint dates in ISO format

Pitfalls:

  • Boards and sprints are specific to Jira Software (not Jira Core)
  • Only one sprint can be active at a time per board
4. Manage Comments

When to use: User wants to add or view comments on issues

Tool sequence:

  1. JIRA_LIST_ISSUE_COMMENTS - List existing comments [Optional]
  2. JIRA_ADD_COMMENT - Add a comment to an issue [Required]

Key parameters:

  • issueIdOrKey: Issue key like 'PROJ-123'
  • body: Comment body (supports ADF for rich text)

Pitfalls:

  • Comments support ADF (Atlassian Document Format) for formatting
  • Mentions use account IDs, not usernames

5. Manage Projects and Users

When to use: User wants to list projects, find users, or manage project roles

Tool sequence:

  1. JIRA_GET_ALL_PROJECTS - List all projects [Optional]
  2. JIRA_GET_PROJECT - Get project details [Optional]
  3. JIRA_FIND_USERS / JIRA_GET_ALL_USERS - Search for users [Optional]
  4. JIRA_GET_PROJECT_ROLES - List project roles [Optional]
  5. JIRA_ADD_USERS_TO_PROJECT_ROLE - Add user to role [Optional]

Key parameters:

  • projectIdOrKey: Project key
  • query: Search text for FIND_USERS
  • roleId: Role ID for role operations

Pitfalls:

  • User operations use account IDs (not email or display name)
  • Project roles differ from global permissions

Common Patterns

JQL Syntax

Common operators:

  • project = "PROJ" - Filter by project
  • status = "In Progress" - Filter by status
  • assignee = currentUser() - Current user's issues
  • created >= -7d - Created in last 7 days
  • labels = "bug" - Filter by label
  • priority = High - Filter by priority
  • ORDER BY created DESC - Sort results

Combinators:

  • AND - Both conditions
  • OR - Either condition
  • NOT - Negate condition
Pagination
  • Use startAt and maxResults parameters
  • Check total in response to determine remaining pages
  • Continue until startAt + maxResults >= total

Known Pitfalls

Field Names:

  • Custom fields use IDs like customfield_10001
  • Use JIRA_GET_FIELDS to discover field IDs and names
  • Field names in JQL may differ from API field names

Authentication:

  • Jira Cloud uses account IDs, not usernames
  • Site URL must be configured correctly in the connection
