jira-cli is a skill for Claude Code from xdg/xdg-claude. It costs 12 tokens per session (278 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line tool for managing Jira issues, where Jira is a system teams use to track work and bugs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading requirements, assigning work, extracting issue fields, adding commit references, and moving issues through their workflow. Attachments, images, and visual boards require Jira's web interface.
Why use it?
It lets developers read, update, assign, comment on, and close issues from the terminal instead of switching to a browser for each task.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

jira-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 8d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

jira-cli: Command-Line Jira Management

Assume jira-cli is installed and configured.

Project flag: Always use -p PROJ to specify project explicitly (don't rely on defaults)

Limitation

Ask the user to use the web UI for attachments/images and visual board operations -- these can't be done from the CLI.

Core Pattern: Work on Issue

jira issue view -p PROJ PROJ-123              # Read requirements
jira issue assign PROJ-123 $(jira me)         # Assign to user
# ... implement ...
jira issue comment add PROJ-123 "Fixed in $(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
jira issue move PROJ-123 "Done"               # Close when complete

Efficient Extraction

Extract only needed fields to minimize context usage:

# Get specific fields only
jira issue view -p PROJ PROJ-123 --raw | jq -r '.fields.status.name'

# List keys for iteration
jira issue list -p PROJ --plain --no-headers --columns KEY

Detailed reference

See jira-cli reference guide for command syntax, JQL, filter flags, output formats, and data extraction patterns.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
