jira
Use when the user mentions Jira issues (e.g., "PROJ-123"), asks about tickets, wants to create/view/update issues, check sprint status, or manage their Jira workflow. Triggers on keywords like "jira", "issue", "ticket", "sprint", "backlog", or issue key patterns.
Profile →npx skills add softaworks/agent-toolkit --skill jira --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Jira Natural language interaction with Jira. Supports multiple backends. ## Backend Detection **Run this check first** to determine which backend to use: ``` 1. Check if jira CLI is available: → Run: which jira → If found: USE CLI BACKEND 2. If no CLI, check for Atlassian MCP: → Look for mcp__atlassian__* tools → If available: USE MCP BACKEND 3. If neither available: → GUIDE USER TO SETUP ``` |
What does the jira skill do?
Use when the user mentions Jira issues (e.g., "PROJ-123"), asks about tickets, wants to create/view/update issues, check sprint status, or manage their Jira workflow. Triggers on keywords like "jira", "issue", "ticket", "sprint", "backlog", or issue key patterns.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add softaworks/agent-toolkit --skill jira --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 softaworks/agent-toolkit, a repository with 2,276 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.
