Jira Skill

Overview

This skill provides a Python CLI for common Jira REST API workflows:

• Search with JQL
• Get issue details
• Create and update issues with JSON payloads
• Transition issues by name or ID
• Add comments and list existing comments
• Discover issue types and required fields for creation

The skill supports Jira Cloud with email plus API token authentication and Jira Server or Data Center with a personal access token.

Use --fields on read commands by default to keep output concise. The script supports dot-notation such as fields.status.name and prints tab-separated output for lists.
