ACLI Jira Command Reference

Quick-reference for Atlassian CLI (acli) Jira commands. Covers authentication, work item CRUD, search, project management, boards, sprints, and filters.

Core Principles

1. Authenticate first: Verify auth status before running commands
2. JQL for precision: Use JQL queries for targeted searches over broad listing
3. Bulk via JQL: Prefer --jql over comma-separated --key for operations on many items
4. Output format matters: Use --json for scripting, --csv for exports, default for readability
5. Use short flags: Combine -p, -t, -s, -a for faster command composition

Authentication

Authenticate before running any Jira command.
