Instructions for using Atlassian's command-line tool, a program that lets terminal scripts manage Jira, Confluence, and organisation settings in the cloud. It covers work items, projects, boards, sprints, pages, and administrative tasks.

Use it to create, search, edit, assign, transition, link, comment on, clone, archive, or process Jira work items, and to manage Confluence and organisation resources.

It helps automate Atlassian work from the terminal and avoids mistakes caused by separate commands, accounts, and incomplete result pages.

NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026

SkillSpector: 7 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

high Anti-Refusal · line 20
Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.
high Tool Misuse · line 250
Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).

Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

medium Rogue Agent · line 426
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00324	$0.09199
Opus 5	$0.00162	$0.04600
Sonnet 5	$0.00065	$0.01840
Haiku 4.5	$0.00032	$0.00920

Security

Grade A, and why

acli scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/jira-attach-media.test.ts, scripts/jira-attach-media.ts, scripts/md-to-adf.test.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 530 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Atlassian CLI (`acli`)

acli is Atlassian's official command-line tool for Jira Cloud, Confluence Cloud, and org admin operations. It replaces terminal-based Jira automation that previously required raw REST calls, and unifies Jira + Confluence + admin actions behind one binary with one credential store per product.

This skill teaches how to drive acli for any intent: one-off commands, batch mutations, scripted pipelines, and CI jobs. Repo-specific integration (how this skill plugs into the host repo's workflow, TMS modality, project conventions, anti-patterns) lives in the companion file <repo-core>/references/acli-integration.md — load it on demand. See "Navigation" below.

Why this skill exists

acli has several traits that make it easy to misuse:

Silent pagination truncation. workitem search without --paginate returns the first page only — no warning. Scripts that count or iterate keys read the wrong number of items.
Auth is per-product. acli jira auth login does not authenticate acli admin, acli confluence, or acli rovodev. There is also a top-level acli auth for global OAuth (newer surface). Each scope has its own session.
The "work item" vs "issue" split. The CLI renamed commands (jira issue → jira workitem) but the JSON response still has a top-level issues[] array and CSV inputs still use issueType/parentIssueId spellings. Mixing old and new terminology in the same script works, but confuses readers.
Unknown subcommands fail silently. Typing acli jira workflow --help does NOT error — it falls back to acli jira --help with exit 0. So "no error" ≠ "command exists". Always verify by checking the help body actually changed.
Hard limits the docs do not advertise. acli cannot list custom fields, edit custom-field values on existing items, manage workflows, manage issue types, or touch project versions/components. See references/gotchas.md.

The body below covers the core that applies to almost every session. The references/ directory holds the deep material — load only the one you need.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

acli is a skill published in the GitHub repository upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate (21 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 324 tokens to every session and 9,199 once invoked, about $0.0016 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
