use-jira-cli

Purpose

Use the Jira CLI (jira) to interact with Jira issues, sprints, epics, and projects directly from the command line. This enables fast issue management without leaving the terminal.

Prerequisites

• Jira CLI installed (jira command available)
• Configured with jira init (API token set via JIRA_API_TOKEN environment variable)

Critical: Non-Interactive Mode Required

NEVER use interactive mode. Always use one of these approaches:

• For viewing/listing: Use --plain or --raw flags
  • --plain - Standard readable output (default choice)
  • --raw - JSON output when structured data is needed for parsing
• For creating/editing: Use --no-input flag along with all required fields

Interactive mode requires user input and will hang. Always use these flags to ensure commands complete without prompts.
