Using Bee
This skill gives Claude direct access to Backlog project management through the bee CLI. It can create and update issues, manage pull requests, handle wikis and documents, check notifications, and browse projects without you manually running commands. The skill knows to use JSON output for structured data, understands pagination quirks (20 items by default, not everything), and can fall back to raw API calls for endpoints bee doesn't cover yet. One thing to watch: it reminds Claude to always pass flags explicitly since bee can't prompt interactively in non-TTY environments. Useful if your team lives in Backlog and you want Claude to read or update things there directly.
