Atlassian Skill

This repository contains the Atlassian Skill, optimized for AI coding agents to automate Jira, Confluence, and Atlassian Administration.

Overview

The skill follows a Backend-First approach, prioritizing the Atlassian CLI (acli) for robustness and falling back to the Atlassian MCP server when necessary.

1. Unified Logic

Agents are instructed to detect the available backend (acli vs MCP) and use the most appropriate tool for the task.

2. Dual-Tool Support

• Atlassian CLI (acli): High-performance, scriptable, and feature-rich.
• Atlassian MCP Server: Reliable direct-API fallback for quick lookups and interactive sessions.

Repository Structure

• SKILL.md: Core instruction set and quick references for agents.
• references/commands.md: Deep-dive reference for acli commands.
• references/mcp.md: Detailed patterns for MCP server tools.

Getting Started

1. Verify Backend: Check if acli is installed (acli --version).
2. Follow Guidelines: agents must adhere to the Workflow and NEVER sections in SKILL.md to ensure safe operation.
3. Deep Dive: Refer to the references/ directory for complex queries or advanced administration.
