Jira Command

Interact with Jira tickets directly from your workflow — fetch tickets, analyze requirements, add comments, and transition status.

Usage

/jira get <TICKET-KEY>          # Fetch and analyze a ticket
/jira comment <TICKET-KEY>      # Add a progress comment
/jira transition <TICKET-KEY>   # Change ticket status
/jira search <JQL>              # Search issues with JQL

What This Command Does

  1. Get & Analyze — Fetch a Jira ticket and extract requirements, acceptance criteria, test scenarios, and dependencies
  2. Comment — Add structured progress updates to a ticket
  3. Transition — Move a ticket through workflow states (To Do → In Progress → Done)
  4. Search — Find issues using JQL queries

How It Works

/jira get <TICKET-KEY>

  1. Fetch the ticket from Jira (via MCP jira_get_issue or REST API)
  2. Extract all fields: summary, description, acceptance criteria, priority, labels, linked issues
  3. Optionally fetch comments for additional context
  4. Produce a structured analysis:
Ticket: PROJ-1234
Summary: [title]
Status: [status]
Priority: [priority]
Type: [Story/Bug/Task]

Requirements:
1. [extracted requirement]
2. [extracted requirement]

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] [criterion from ticket]

Test Scenarios:
- Happy Path: [description]
- Error Case: [description]
- Edge Case: [description]

Dependencies:
- [linked issues, APIs, services]

Recommended Next Steps:
- /plan to create implementation plan
- /tdd to implement with tests first

/jira comment <TICKET-KEY>

  1. Summarize current session progress (what was built, tested, committed)
  2. Format as a structured comment
  3. Post to the Jira ticket

/jira transition <TICKET-KEY>

  1. Fetch available transitions for the ticket
  2. Show options to user
  3. Execute the selected transition

/jira search <JQL>

  1. Execute the JQL query against Jira
  2. Return a summary table of matching issues

Prerequisites

This command requires Jira credentials. Choose one:

Option A — MCP Server (recommended): Add jira to your mcpServers config (see mcp-configs/mcp-servers.json for the template).

Option B — Environment variables:

bash
export JIRA_URL="https://yourorg.atlassian.net"
export JIRA_EMAIL="[email protected]"
export JIRA_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"

If credentials are missing, stop and direct the user to set them up.

Integration with Other Commands

After analyzing a ticket:

  • Use /plan to create an implementation plan from the requirements
  • Use /tdd to implement with test-driven development
  • Use /code-review after implementation
  • Use /jira comment to post progress back to the ticket
  • Use /jira transition to move the ticket when work is complete
  • Skill: skills/jira-integration/
  • MCP config: mcp-configs/mcp-servers.json → jira
