Jira CLI

Overview

Use jira for Jira work from the terminal. Prefer read-only discovery first, script-friendly output for agents, and explicit confirmation before changing Jira state.

Safety Rules

• Do not print or store Jira tokens. Use JIRA_API_TOKEN, .netrc, keychain, or the user's existing shell setup.
• Check the installed command help when flags matter: jira --help, then jira <resource> <command> --help.
• Prefer non-interactive output in agent runs when the command supports it: --plain, --raw, --csv, --no-headers, and --columns.
• Prefer --no-input only when all required write parameters are known.
• Before create/edit/move/assign/delete/comment/worklog/link operations, show the exact command and ask for confirmation unless the user already authorized that exact mutation.
• Always confirm before jira issue delete, even if the user asked generally.
