What it does

Atlassian Skills is an agent skill from sillsdev/FieldWorks. Python utilities for Jira (SIL Data Center) covering issue management, JQL search, workflows and transitions, links, agile boards, worklogs and projects. Use when users need to create, update, comment on, link or transition a Jira issue, or search Jira with JQL -- including any LT-prefixed FieldWorks ticket.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts (for example `PROVENANCE.md`, `REFERENCE.md` and `scripts/__init__.py`).

It works with Jira and Python. The repository describes itself as: FieldWorks is a suite of software tools for language and cultural data, with support for complex scripts.

Example prompts

“/atlassian-skills”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in JIRA_PAT_TOKEN
A credential in JIRA_API_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bd0608d. 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 11 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
- pip
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:
- jira.sil.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- JIRA_PAT_TOKEN
- JIRA_API_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Atlassian Skills loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.7k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 463 words (~2,698 tokens).

“Python utilities for Jira, supporting both Cloud and Data Center deployments.”
