Atlassian CLI for Jira

Overview

Atlassian CLI (acli) is the official command-line interface for Jira Cloud that enables management of work items, projects, and workflows directly from the terminal. Use this skill when:

• Users request CLI-based Jira operations
• Bulk operations are needed (updating multiple issues, bulk transitions)
• Automation or scripting is required
• Users want to avoid the Jira UI for repetitive tasks

Authentication

Before using any Jira commands, authenticate using OAuth:

# Interactive OAuth login (recommended)
acli jira auth login --web
