Jira issue management skill for OpenClaw using the jirac CLI. Requires the `jirac` binary to be installed and authenticated before use. Use when listing, viewing, creating, updating, transitioning, commenting on, attaching files to, bulk-editing, cloning, deleting, linking, archiving, moving, changing types of Jira issues, logging work, generating standup or sprint summaries, managing sprint lifecycles, browsing fix versions, scanning Jira mention notifications, rendering markdown to ADF, registering jirac-mcp into MCP clients, or running raw Jira REST calls from agent workflows.

Install

npx vskill@latest install mulhamna/jira-commands/jirac

SKILL.md

Use jirac as the Jira execution surface. The CLI is a single Rust binary that supports Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center, multi-profile auth, runtime custom-field discovery, attachment upload, sprint lifecycle, and an interactive TUI with full mouse support.

Requirements

  • Require the jirac binary from the official jira-commands release source.
  • Require Jira authentication to be configured before use, typically via jirac auth login in the target environment.
  • Treat Jira credentials, local config (~/.config/jira/config.toml), and attachment file paths as sensitive.
  • For MCP-based agent setups, additionally require the jirac-mcp binary (separate package).

Pre-flight

  1. Run jirac --version to confirm the binary is installed.
  2. Run jirac auth status to confirm credentials are configured and reachable. If not, prompt the user to run jirac auth login (or jirac auth login --profile NAME for separate accounts).
  3. For multi-profile setups, run jirac auth profiles and jirac auth use <name> to switch the active profile before issuing operations.

Workflow

  1. Prefer direct jirac commands over raw Jira REST API (jirac api) calls when the CLI already supports the action.
  2. Use jirac issue fields -p PROJ --issue-type Type when required fields, allowed values, or custom fields are unclear.
  3. Use jirac issue transition <KEY> without a transition argument to get an interactive picker when the target status is unknown.
  4. Use jirac issue standup for a concise personal update from assigned work, and jirac issue sprint-summary -p PROJ for a project sprint rollup.
  5. Use jirac issue sprints -p PROJ to see sprint lifecycle states before creating, starting, completing, updating, or deleting a sprint.
  6. Use jirac issue notifications to scan Jira @mentions from issue descriptions and comments.
  7. Use jirac issue render --input file.md to preview how Markdown will convert to Jira ADF before sending it as description or comment.
  8. Use jirac tui -p PROJ for any interactive bulk browse / triage / quick-edit workflow — supports mouse (click rows, tabs, picker options; scroll wheel; drag splitter; click [?] / [🔔]).
  9. Confirm intent before destructive or high-impact operations: delete, archive, bulk-update, bulk-transition, bulk-comment, bulk-create, change-type, move, sprint-delete, and attachment uploads.
  10. Keep Jira project keys, issue keys, status names, and transition names exact. Use quotes for any name with spaces.

Bulk-create manifest format

    "summary": "Issue title",
    "type": "Task",
    "assignee": "user@org.com",
    "priority": "High",
    "labels": ["backend"],
    "parent": "PROJ-100",
    "description": "Markdown description",
    "fields": { "customfield_10016": 5 }
  }
]

Batch manifest format

json
[
  { "op": "create",     "project": "PROJ", "summary": "New task", "type": "Task" },
  { "op": "update",     "key": "PROJ-10",  "priority": "High", "assignee": "me" },
  { "op": "transition", "key": "PROJ-11",  "to": "Done" },
  { "op": "archive",    "key": "PROJ-12" }
]

JQL quoting

JQL strings often contain spaces, parentheses, and quotes — wrap the entire --jql value in single quotes in bash, then use double quotes inside:

bash
jirac issue list --jql 'project = PROJ AND status = "In Progress" AND assignee = currentUser()'

For Windows PowerShell, the inverse — wrap in double quotes outside, escape inner doubles with ` ``:

powershell
jirac issue list --jql "project = PROJ AND status = `"In Progress`""

See references/jql.md for common JQL recipes.

Guidance

  • Prefer interactive or metadata-assisted flows when field requirements are unclear (jirac issue fields ..., jirac issue jql --run, jirac issue transition KEY).
  • Always confirm intent before operations that may change workflow state, bulk-edit, delete, archive, change type, or move issues across projects.
  • Confirm that local files selected for attachment are intended and safe to upload.
  • Prefer explicit project scoping (-p PROJ) when working across multiple Jira projects.
  • jirac issue transition takes a positional transition name/ID — not --to.
  • jirac issue change-type and jirac issue move use Jira's native move semantics; the issue key is preserved.
  • For agents that need Jira inside an MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Zed), install jirac-mcp separately, then run jirac mcp install for an interactive registration picker.
