jit CLI

What it does

The jit skill adds Jira CLI capabilities to an agent: fetch issue summaries by key or URL, show expanded fields (description, comments, timestamps), include linked GitHub pull requests, list current-sprint tickets assigned to the user, and create or edit backlog or sprint issues. It supports multiple output formats (human summary, compact text, and machine-readable JSON) so the agent can both display results to users and integrate with scripts. The skill describes credential sources and required config values, plus practical command examples for common tasks.

When to use it

Use this skill when a user asks for quick Jira lookups (e.g., "show me ISSUE-123"), needs detailed ticket metadata, wants to filter comments by date, requests the current sprint tickets assigned to them, or asks to create/edit issues from the terminal. It also applies when the agent must return JSON for automation or include linked GitHub PRs in the output.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled, but full CLI usage and examples are documented.
• References: none required; the skill body includes usage and troubleshooting.
• Instructions: step-by-step examples for fetch, show, json/text output, comment filtering, create, and edit flows; guidance for credential setup and handling --current-sprint.

Compatible agents

This skill is best for agents that can run shell commands and handle structured JSON output (Copilot/Codex/GitHub Code assistants, CLI-capable agents).
