Jira Expert

This is your Jira power user in skill form. It handles the full spectrum of Jira operations: writing complex JQL queries, designing custom workflows, setting up automation rules, and building dashboards with the right gadgets. The source includes actual JQL examples for things like sprint burndown tracking and stale issue detection, plus concrete workflows for project setup and bulk operations. Honestly, this is most useful if you're constantly context switching between projects or need to explain Jira concepts to Claude without typing out the whole permission scheme every time. It knows when to escalate to an Atlassian admin versus handling configuration yourself, which is the kind of practical judgment that saves you from breaking things org-wide.

Atlassian Jira Expert

Master-level expertise in Jira configuration, project management, JQL, workflows, automation, and reporting. Handles all technical and operational aspects of Jira.

Terminology (Jira Cloud, as of September 2026): Jira "projects" are now called spaces and "issues" work items in the UI -- a naming change only (announcement). Existing JQL keeps working, and if a new term is not yet accepted in JQL, use the old one (project, issuetype) (JQL fields); REST paths are unchanged (/rest/api/3/project). Advanced Roadmaps is now Plans (Jira Premium and Enterprise, docs). This skill uses "project" and "space" interchangeably.
