Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Jira Integration Skill Retrieve, analyze, and update Jira tickets directly from your AI coding workflow. Supports both **MCP-based** (recommended) and **direct REST API** approaches. ## When to Activate - Fetching a Jira ticket to understand requirements - Extracting testable acceptance criteria from a ticket - Adding progress comments to a Jira issue - Transitioning a ticket status (To Do → In Progress → Done) - Linking merge requests or branches to a Jira issue - Searching for issues by JQL query ## Prerequisites ### Option A: MCP Server (Recommended) Install the `mcp-atlassian` MCP server. This exposes Jira tools directly to your AI agent. **Requirements:** - Python 3.10+ - `uvx` (from `uv`), installed via your package manager or the official `uv` installation documentation **Add to your MCP config** (e.g., `~/.codex.json` → `mcpServers`): ```json { "jira": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-atlassian==0.21.0"], "env": { "JIRA_URL": "https://YOUR_ORG.atlassian.net", "JIRA_EMAIL": "your.email@example.com", "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token" }, "description": "Jira issue tracking — search, create, update, comment, transition" } } ``` > **Security:** Never hardcode secrets.

What does the jira-integration skill do?
Use this skill when retrieving Jira tickets, analyzing requirements, updating ticket status, adding comments, or transitioning issues. Provides Jira API patterns via MCP or direct REST calls.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill jira-integration --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 mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 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.
