MANDATORY skill for ANY acli jira command. YOU MUST use this skill for ALL Jira queries - both initial searches AND follow-up queries. NEVER run acli jira commands directly outside this skill. This includes viewing tickets, comments, attachments, sprints, boards, searches, and ANY other acli jira operation. Examples requiring this skill - "show my tickets", "what's in EXPL-123?", "show comments", "list sprint items". CRITICAL - commands are allowlisted in this skill but NOT outside it, so running them directly will require permission prompts.
Query and read Jira issues using the Atlassian CLI (ACLI).
YOU MUST USE THIS SKILL FOR EVERY ACLI JIRA COMMAND - NO EXCEPTIONS
When to use this skill:
This skill remains active for the entire Jira conversation - once you start using it, continue using it for all subsequent Jira queries in the same conversation.
Check authentication status:
acli jira auth status
You should be authenticated to your organization's Atlassian instance.

Note: To view or download attachments/images, you'll need to use the issue's web view (--web flag) or access them through the Atlassian UI.
Sprint queries require both a board ID and sprint ID. Check the project's CLAUDE.md for board IDs.
# Search all boards
acli jira board search --paginate
# Search boards by project
acli jira board search --project EXPL
# Search scrum boards
acli jira board search --type scrum --json
# Get active sprints for board (replace BOARD_ID with value from CLAUDE.md)
acli jira board list-sprints --id BOARD_ID --state active
# Get all sprints in JSON
acli jira board list-sprints --id BOARD_ID --json --paginate
# Get active and future sprints
acli jira board list-sprints --id BOARD_ID --state active,future
# Get all work items in a sprint
acli jira sprint list-workitems --board BOARD_ID --sprint SPRINT_ID --paginate
# Get unassigned items ready for dev
acli jira sprint list-workitems --board BOARD_ID --sprint SPRINT_ID --jql "status = 'To Do' AND assignee is EMPTY"
# Get items in progress
acli jira sprint list-workitems --board BOARD_ID --sprint SPRINT_ID --jql "status = 'In Progress'" --json
# Get specific fields only
acli jira sprint list-workitems --board BOARD_ID --sprint SPRINT_ID --fields "key,summary,status"
status = 'To Do'
status = 'In Progress'
status = 'Done'
status IN ('To Do', 'Ready for Dev')
assignee = currentUser()
assignee is EMPTY
assignee = "user@example.com"
issuetype = Story
issuetype = Bug
issuetype IN (Story, Bug)
priority = High
priority IN (High, Highest)
status = 'To Do' AND assignee is EMPTY
status = 'In Progress' AND assignee = currentUser()
project = EXPL AND issuetype = Story AND status IN ('To Do', 'Ready for Dev')
Human-readable formatted tables with columns for each field.
Example:
Type Key Assignee Priority Status Summary
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Bug EXPL-411 user@example.com Medium Done Fix duplicate records
Machine-readable structured data. Use --json flag.
Example:
[
{
"key": "EXPL-411",
"fields": {
"issuetype": {"name": "Bug"},
"assignee": {"displayName": "Donald Petersen"},
"priority": {"name": "Medium"},
"status": {"name": "Done"},
"summary": "Fix duplicate records"
}
}
]
Spreadsheet-compatible format. Use --csv flag (available on most commands).
IMPORTANT: Always check the project's CLAUDE.md file for:
The board ID is required for sprint queries and should be documented in each project's CLAUDE.md.
acli jira workitem search --jql "assignee = currentUser() AND issuetype = Story" --paginate
acli jira workitem view EXPL-123
acli jira workitem comment list --key EXPL-123 --paginate
acli jira workitem attachment list --key EXPL-123
# First, get the board ID from CLAUDE.md, then get the active sprint ID
acli jira board list-sprints --id BOARD_ID --state active
# Then, list unassigned stories (use sprint ID from above)
acli jira sprint list-workitems --board BOARD_ID --sprint SPRINT_ID --jql "assignee is EMPTY AND issuetype = Story"
acli jira workitem search --jql "project = EXPL AND issuetype = Bug AND priority = High" --paginate
