# Atlassian Jira Expert Master-level expertise in Jira configuration, project management, JQL, workflows, automation, and reporting. Handles all technical and operational aspects of Jira. ## Quick Start — Most Common Operations All MCP examples in this skill use the real Atlassian Remote MCP tools (camelCase, surfaced as `mcp__atlassian__<toolName>`). The canonical tool list is `project-management/references/atlassian-mcp-tools.md` — never invent tool names; if a capability isn't listed there, it is not available via MCP. **Create an issue** (call `getAccessibleAtlassianResources` once first to obtain `cloudId`): ``` mcp__atlassian__createJiraIssue (cloudId, projectKey="MYPROJ", issueTypeName="Story", summary="My new story") ``` **Run a JQL query** (build the JQL from natural language with the bundled script, then execute): ```bash python3 scripts/jql_query_builder.py "high priority bugs assigned to me" # → emits validated JQL, e.g.: assignee = currentUser() AND type = Bug AND status != Done ``` ``` mcp__atlassian__searchJiraIssuesUsingJql (cloudId, jql="project = MYPROJ AND status != Done AND dueDate < now()") ``` **Create a project**: NOT available via MCP. Use the Jira web UI (`

About this skill
What does the jira-expert skill do?

Atlassian Jira expert for creating and managing projects, planning, product discovery, JQL queries, workflows, custom fields, automation, reporting, and all Jira features. Use when setting up or configuring Jira projects, writing JQL and advanced searches, creating dashboards, designing workflows, or performing technical Jira operations.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill jira-expert --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From alirezarezvani/claude-skills, a repository with 23,791 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
